I have a 4x4 tent. 1000w hps/mh i plan on dimming 25% which i assume would make it 750w. I want to use mephisto/bomb seeds/dutch passion. I want maximum yield. Using Roots Organic rogf/Fox Farm Coco Loco. With Super soil concentrate. My question is for a SOG style grow for maximum yield how many plants could i fit in this space? I ordered (5)5gal air pots. But i assume this size would be too large for a sog style for autos going for maximum yield. So im thinking 3gal? If so how many could i fit in 4x4 space? Strain dependent of course. I want at least 1lb. And second question in order to do sog with autos is there anything different i should do? Thanks.

Hello, I'm trying to clear something up and my search abilities are not working for it. I imagine this topic will depend on strain, if it's an auto or a photo, and other factors... but I was hoping there was a generalized notion of how I could determine the age of a plant. For example, does this image (taken from a post in another forum) work? I ask this, mainly, because we are trying to follow a chart given by a friend who used to do hydro and recommended it for us as a general guide line for our feeding regime. Also, we are trying to set light distance according to age. The chart is: FEEDING CHART (NOT INCLUDING PPM OF WATER) Seedlings, Early Sprouts [0.2 - 0.5 EC] -> 100 to 250 ppm (Hannah) / 128-320 ppm (Eutech) Early Vegging...

The first plant is what I’m worried about. Lemme know:) Week 1 with devils cream auto under 600 watt veg bulb in a 4x4x6 tent with fans and all that good stuff 3 out of the four are doing well from what I can tell, I’m using fox farm of soil, there trio later on, as well as cal mag and bud candy. Can’t figure out why the one plant looks so different and if I should just chop it

Working with LST on two AK’s. There are still some fat fan leaves that are blocking the lower/inside branches. Any advice on just removing the large fan leaves to “open” up the plant? Thanks!

Hey everyone! I'm going to change my setup in one of my little cupboards. Instead of 3-4 15L autopots, I want to replace them with many smaller pots using the easy2go and a tray (so an aquavalve feeding the water to the bottom of the pots) so I can run more strains, albeit with a bit more effort by the way of feeding etc. Will be doing organics, amended soils, top dresses, etc. Will definitely have to utilise a biotab or 2 in each pot to sustain the macros during the grow :biggrin: Floor space is approx 110 x 55, give or take. The options are really either a 6L plastic square pot, or a 1 gallon root pouch. I'm thinking somewhere between 5-10. The more the merrier! Obviously they are going to be bottom-watered via the...

Hi mates!! I had a post opened on the Autoflower Infirmary for sick plants for a small leaf deficiency on the beggining of the grow but now I'm looking for some advice on LST. This is my first grow and i'm still learning on the job so please excuse me for beeing a noob or too over-concerned :p Instead of repeating the entire thread here, I think it's probably better to put the link to my previous thread. https://www.autoflower.org/threads/is-this-any-kind-of-deficiency.68564/page-3 Any kind of help with be great! :) Thanks guys and happy grows!! :D

Hi, i recently purchased a 2x4x5 vivosun tent, with two 300 watt led vivosun lights. I got fox farm nutes, and some botanicare cal mag. Plan on growing fast buds g14 and wos Afghan kush ryder. One each and After 30 days I plan to start 2 more seeds one of each. Ill be using smart pots first time and LEDs. Just wondering the feeding schedule or what youj would start off with. Any tips will help. Still a novice. Thanks and happy holidays

I'm looking at an Afloia mini dehumidifier(2200 cubic ft) $27.99 for 2x4x5 tent .My exhaust fan Is rated at 203cfm . I plan on having 2-3 plants in my setup .Is this over kill or a wise investment?

Looking at Afloia mini dehumidifier (2200 cubic ft $27.99)for my setup (2x4x5). I'm running a 203 cfm exhaust fan. I plan to run 2-3 plants per grow. My question is whether it is a necessity? Should I consider it a wise investment?

Hi folks Second grow first one lost to mold. This time going one in notill organic soil Carmelicious auto from MSNL using QB132 @ 120w and blurple 350w. Using 3g fabric pot with tower fan, clip on fan, 6" fan and carbon filter in 5x5 grow tent. I've been running 18/6 lighting and temps 24c and RH 40%. Started with 4th node top and left it at that with leaf tucking and minimal leaf removal. Problem is currently in week 10 I don't have any big nugs all I've got are penny size flowers! How do folks get those "bic lighter" size nugs?

High there everyone ? I'm not a new grower, but I can't say I'm real experienced either. I've done 3 grows over the past year but they were all photo period grows. I decided to try out some auto's for the 1st time so I could use some advice. I'll give you the run down of my set up. I'm just going to do 2 plants this time to get a grasp on things. I will use my 2' x 4' x 6' tent since it's only 2 plants & I already have photo period plants in my big tent. I was thinking of using my 2' (4 Bulb) & 2 - 2' (2-Bulb) T-5's for germination for the 1st week or two. Then switching the T-5's out to a 600 Watt Meizhi LED after germination. Should I do it this way or should I just start out with the LED's ? I'm growing in a 50% Bio Bizz...

Hello all this is my first time on afn have used grass city but was directed here. I'm currently growing 10 mephisto autos and am doing some experimenting on a few. I am considering topping one of my ghost toofs but have never attempted a top and was looking for anyone with experience or advice. Have had some say it's good and bad so just seeing what advice is out there! Thanks everyone

I'm growing my 1st Auto's in a soil mix under a 600 watt LED. 1 - White Widow & 1 - Wipeout Express. I planted the seeds directly in the soil mix (5-gal. bags) on 12-11. Not seeing anything as of yet so I'm wondering how long till I see them sprout ? I've always planted my photo period plants this way & had sprouts in about 5 days.

In a 4x4 tent. (4)5gal grow bags. 1. (2)400w or (1)600w. 2. Will using LED seedling stage then switching to hps/mh veg/flower impact yield/quality? 3.Good HID light company's. Mid-High range. 4.Good sites besides Amazon for equpimeht.

So, the room that contains my current tent is climate controlled and while we occasionally get some brief humidity, it’s generally 50-55% RH (occasionally dropping to 45%) in the space and temps are pretty consistently between 70°-78°F in the tents. Now I’m planning to add a second tent in order to have a veg tent and a flower tent. I’m trying to figure out if I should get one big humidifier and run it in the room that will contain both tents or should I get small, individual humidifiers for each tent? I HATE the idea of giving up tent real estate to a humidifier (or anything besides plants) but I will if I have to. I’m tentatively thinking about a large room humidifier in the outer room and set it to the highest safe humidity for...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for basic advice on starting my first grow. I’ll have a million questions for you all to enjoy, take the mick out of and hopefully answer but for now I’ll keep it simple. I’m going to be growing in soil under led’s, I’ve read somewhere that I don’t have to PH my water and that the soil will do it. Is that true ? Next question is, is there a natural/organic way of giving the plants nutrients rather than buying bottled. I’m growing for quality not quantity.

I am getting back to this technique with my current grow. I'll do it a few hours a day during lights on and for a few days. It has worked for me in the past in getting better side branch growth.

Hi, I have a photo period Blueberry at 7 weeks into flower. Looking at the pistols I think it has a few weeks left a lot of white hairs, but looking at the trichomes it looks like next week. I had a miserable time trying to get a good shot of the trichomes that I think effectively represent what I am seeing through my eye spy. But I did get one. Still a lot of white pistols on the buds so I am a bit confused. Thx guys .

Greetings all. I'm about to try auto flowering seeds for the first time. Am I able to germinate the seeds as normal (bean blankets) and start them straight in the 707 soil? Or is that soil too aggressive for autoflowering seeds?
