Is there really any need?

Over the weekend I decided that if I want to increase the yields of my photo-period plants I need to increase their veg time. So I have decided to do an entire crop of Autos until the weather gets warmer. So I have ordered a 10 pack of Critical Blue Auto seeds from Expert Seeds and I have a couple of RQS Royal Dwarf Autos that were freebies to put on once my current grow is finished.
So today I have spent the afternoon doubling my veg space, to allow me more veg time on my Photos. I have also rigged up a small LED light and a heated propagator for cuttings.
I am also changing my nutes. I decided to change the compost I am using. I was using Jack's Magic, which is Peat based. Peat is horrifically bad for the environment, so I have swapped to Westland New Horizon, which is Coir based, but I don't think it will be nearly as rich as the Jack's Magic so I am going to start using Plant Magic Oldtimers Bloom and PK. I am using Blattwerk Pure as a veg nute and will swap to Oldtimers Grow when all of that is used up.
This lockdown business give you plenty of time to get shit done.

Any need for? Tax dodging? Or being a cunt?!

I don't understand the logic of saying you need to veg your photo's for longer so you bought some autos? Is that for putting in your veg space? I have been growing for a few minutes and still do not understand why people grow autos indoors. Any logical explanation would be appreciated. Cheers DST

I bought a new flower tent. It can take 12 plants in 3 gallon pots. I had 8 photos ready to go in, which left me space for 4. So I got 4 Auto seeds and gave them a try. I know I'd be better off running them under the lights 24/0 but they are getting 12/12 and they are working. I grow in a loft and it is a constant battle keeping the tent warm when the lights are off. So I have a dozen photos vegging that could do with a bit longer, so I have ordered a dozen Blue Critical from Experts Seeds and I will put them on when the current lot are finished (just before Xmas) and run them 24/0. I will put my photos on in late Feb/early March when the weather warms up. This will give my photos loads of time to bush up and root a few cuttings for Mothers.
I won't be able to run Autos during the summer months as it gets too hot with the lights on during the day, so I will put on a dozen photo seeds which I can run into September. Then go back on the Autos. I am tempted to run a second flowering tent a month out of sync with the first one, successional planting meaning I always have something to harvest.
The advantage of Autos is you don't have to veg them. Just stick the seed in the pot and go. 10 -12 weeks later you will have some weed. No extra vegging, minimal nutes, no potting up. Just keep the lights turned on.
My trouble is I am supplying my whole family. I smoke, my wife smokes, so does my grown up Daughter and her Partner. I am selling it to my Daughter and her partner (cheaply), they have no idea what I am up to, they think I get it off my mate down the road. I am keeping the money and putting it into high yield savings for them, for when they have a large expenditure (I'm thinking House Deposit).
I only started growing again in April 2020, after about 4 years off. It was lockdown, I was bored and my supply had become patchy. I had a load of redundant grow gear in the loft, so thought fuck it and started up again. Then I realised that my kit was a bit obsolete and started to upgrade.
It is addictive this growing malarky.

Its interesting to hear about your experience with autos under 12/12. I got bored and as I had a spare bit of room in my tent I started off an auto and its coming up to 3 weeks since sprouting and doing pretty well. I dont have high expectations and it was more of a noob experiment for me. It's a formula one auto and the leaves on it are bloody huge so far

Bloody freezing today, to be 2C when my lights kick on for 12/12 at 9pm. Nightmare keeping it at the right temperature, an expensive nightmare!
Makes me wish I’d just done autos on 24/7 over the winter!

Aye chilly today! Keep them above 15c pos 18-21 ideally.. even as low as 13 is ok but not ideal especially in veg.
Yeah they are a blessing for that reason - cause one day it’s 2 next week it’s 12 lol

They 24 days from sprouting, 2 have begun to stretch and show their pistils and 2 are still vegging away. The 2 that have started to flower are about 6" tall and have been LST'd to expose the lower bud sites. I have 5 viable heads on each. I think they are a bit short. This is an experiment for me too. I think if they had been getting twice the light they would be bigger, probably not twice as big, but bigger. The trouble is I am in a new tent and I have some new lights. It has been a bit of a guess how high the lights should be and TBH I guessed wrong. Lesson learned, which is the point of the exercise.
My next run of Autos will be under 24/0. My head tells me that there should be a short period of dark to aid the stretching. But the advice I have read on here and Reddit tells me to maximise the time under the light for vegging. So I am going to follow the advice I have read.
I am slightly unsure as how to feed them. They are in fresh Jack's Magic and that is usually good for a month if you give it a little dose of calmag about week two. I have read that Autos don't need as much feeding as a photo, so I am going to feed them at 50% strength from week 4.

Fellow grower from across the pond jumping in to get local intel on the upcoming sale at seedsman. Will be my first order. Thoughts?
I grew a BF Blueberry Cheese auto in my 12/12 flower tent just to fill it up. Harvested at 100 days. Great yield but the terps and effects were lacking and the buds were airy and fluffy. Jarred it and did not check until months later. The fully cured buds had a sweet berry scent and produced mild effects. Enjoyable and not a total lost.

That is good to hear. I have just been to check on mine and I was worried they were a little small, but they are still stretching well.
TBH I have never used Seedsman, but I have never heard or read anything bad about them.

Aye it's driech n cauld roon heer tae... lol
Have you noticed a drop in rh% over the last 7/10 days?
I'm nearly finished flowering around 85 days and I've noticed a decline in the humidity, I'm not sure if it's the weather or if it's normal with maturing plants?
Atm it's 57.54%, it's never been below 59/60% with the light out for the duration of the grow, with the light on it got down to 47% last night again I've never seen it that low before...
Anyone?
