Indoor auto and non auto together?

[littleT]

i have a grow going with lr#2s 6 weeks out under 24/7--i have some fem seed<sour candy and northern lights fem--will they grow 24/7 lights for 4 weeks?would start them now--after ger--plant in soil under 3 cfls for 1 week or so then under hps 24/7 for 30 days---would harvest lr#2s and these 2 will have the light to bloom at 12/12---is this doable?​

Not sure if I understand. But what you're asking is if you can grow autos and non autos in the same room?
Autos will grow and flower under any light schedule. Non autos will veg under a certain light schedule then bloom under 12/12
If you have them in the same room and once you flip it to 12/12 it wont affect the non autos but your autos may have a lower yield because of 12/12
So yes it will work but you might expect a lower yield

yes thats fine
your just vegging your photos on a 24/7 schedule its been done a million times
i would put them under the hps in small pots but further away than your main plants

when i change light to 12/12--i intend to cut the lr#2 down the day before i change lights---was told to go 24/7/then 22/2 then 20/4 then18/6 till i get to 12/12 is this sounding correct?was told it may stress plants to drop from 24/7 to 12/12 in 1 day

 

[agito]

cut lr2 then just go straight to 12/12 it will not matter

 

[littleT]

in a 5 gallon bucket--how big would a NL fem get in 30 days? vegging

 

[agito]

you would do pot ups on a photo say 1l to 1g 2g 5g
maybe 1-2ft
you can always top/lst if it gets to big

 

[littleT]

so start in a small pot and work my way up

 

[agito]

yeah it helps prevent compost going sour i have seen plants killed planted direct into a 5g
