Matty Matt, I think you are on point with this and feel they would make a great strain match. They both share roughly the same cycle time: 60-65 days for the 24 Carat/ 65-75 days for the Strawberry Nuggets. They are both short plants that range 40cm-60cm in height as well though the SN need a little more attention than the 24K according to the website and Strain Guide. Honestly, I would love to go with two strains for my first auto run (quick aside— I’ve grown photoperiods in the past and have 20+ years experience growing veggies in LOS) to learn as much as I can... especially when they are so similar in certain respects with 24K being a parent of SN. The differences in strains and subsequent phenotypes will be fun to note.
If you guys and gals are still with me...
I just wanted to give some more information on my approach for this and subsequent autoflower runs:
I will grow these in a 4x8 tent-SOG, Autopot XLs (not sure yet whether to go with the plastic 6.6 gal or the tall 5gal airpots for this run) with airdromes under 2 Growers Choice ROI-E680 LEDs. My medium will be a CoCO coir mix using the Biotabs line if I can get what I need here in the States by the time I am ready to grow, if not I have some other ideas moving forward.
All of this is well and good but would be worthless without a solid environment for the girls. I have been looking at the ClimateRight [HASHTAG]#CR5000ACH[/HASHTAG] as an AC/Heater Dehumidifier but from what I’ve read in reviews, they have a faulty board problem and bad customer service...

Does anyone have first hand experience with this unit and willing to share their experience or can possibly suggest a different model that is more dependable? We all know environment is everything, this tent will be in an unused bedroom that is already climate controlled to 72F-76F in the summer and 78F in the winter.
Thank you to everyone for patiently reading my post... I’m super stoked to get started but I’m doing my research and it would not be complete without the “hive like mind” of AFN to ask questions!!
PS:apologies if asking this question on the ClimateRight 5000 in this forum. I will happily edit if necessary.
