Indoor Grow only Autos? Forget about photoperiods?

[Bonzo Mendoza]

Hello AFN.

Last season I had great success with first auto grow (MG coir, chem fert, 1000w HID) - I got several months worth of highly stoney smoke out of just nine plants.

I grew photoperiods too - not so much success. Out of 13 photos, I got only five good plants. The problems arose purely because the gro op took so long: the dogs wanted to lie in the afternoon sun so they dug away some earth that compromised light integrity in my boathouse, by May it got too hot, I tried to grow a bunch of "freebies" (probably haze strains) that mostly never flowered, etc..)

I have a seven month MJ gro season (Oct-Apr) before it gets too hot.

This year, I am thinking about only growing autos.

I like the fact that I can run the lights 20/4. This makes it much easier to maintain proper temperatures. If I use several different strains, as one gets harvested and space opens up in the gro room, I will be able to easily replace it and start another auto growing.

Whaddya think?

Welcome to AFN!! Congratz on a successful first grow..your plan sounds like a winner!! 1000 watter on a bunch of autos...I would love to have the spot for that much light, I'm sure the girls love it.

I have a unlimited supply of G13 clones but the autos seem to have my attention on my first grow. Don't worry I am taking the clones too for my second tent. If all goes well I plan to grow g13 as personal and autos for other uses.
I have never smoked an auto so its a guess for me right now. But if autos rock I will get led lights for autos and put my 3-1000 wts on g13.

The led lights trip me out that they work. Who would think it?
