IMO a 150w hps is to small for 6 plants. i would say 4 tops. a 400w would be what your needing to fully cover 6 plants...

Thanks Dr. A! I appreciate the valuable info. I ended up with 2 females maybe 3 so I guess the 150w will do for now. I plan on upgrading soon. Thanks again. Forgive me if you've already answered this ? someplace else but, why don't you recommend Feminized Seeds? Are they unstable?

I dont recomend feminized seeds because they turn hermie more easily and stunt easyer too.If you buy regular seeds you can do a breeding and have your own supply of seeds. For Photo period plants you clone them, for autoflowers you breed them or your stuck buying seeds every time.

Good write up man, think you about covered it.

I see... I'm a noob so I'm not comfortable pollinating my first crop because I've never done it before. I need to do more research. But, If that's the better way to go and cheaper obviously I'm all for it. Thanks for the info on the fem seeds. I was going to buy fem seeds next but, I'm probably not going to now. Thanks again.

Dr. Auto, love the videos. One of the reasons I've gotten started and created a 250w HPS stealth dresser. Germinated and just planted the seeds yesterday. Thread can be found here. Anyways, I have 1 of each auto: Himalaya Blue Diesel, Afgan Kush Ryder, Onyx, Super Cali Haze, Mataro Blue, and a La Blanca. I have been searching and searching for journals on each strain, and have been informed that they all aren't stable autos and kind of suck besides the Onyx and Blue diesel. Problem is, I germinated/planted Himalaya Blue Diesel and Afgan Kush Ryder and then found all that out. Question is: what do I do? I really really want a nice yield/great bud but have height restrictions. I don't know what pot size to use and what to do the Afgan ryder/ Blue diesel, they say to use nothing more than 1-1.5 gallons with my space restrictions. Should I switch to 12/12 after 2-3 weeks considering the blue diesel wont yield as much as the ryder?

Thanks man, awesome thread and site.

Hey stealth, by no means do I have the experience that TBM and the good Doctor have but my second grow was the blue diesel and I was amazed at the results I got being a noob and all. I yielded just over a QP of dried cured bud off 5 plants one of which was a runt and didn't grow over 7 inches. They were grown under 20/4 lighting and did great. It was a very easy/forgiving plant to grow as well. I think you will be pleased. I also have a Super Cali Haze going right now. She is at 10 weeks and is 44 inches tall so that may be a problem with your height restrictions. She's a beauty and is full of buds and starting to stink. I have more BHD beans on the way and will personally stand up for anything that Short Stuff/Stitch produces. As for the other strains, I have no experience with them therefore I can't comment on them. Patience is the key to this hobby. You have several knowledgeable people here that are more than willing to help you out with any problems you may have.

Anybody?? :cry:
