Sup everyone! Dropping a line to say hey! Some experience with photos indoor and getting feet wet with autos. Here is my setup:

2'x2' ds60 tent

2x SS150 LED panels by Amare Technologies (true 300w)

3 gal hempy buckets (100% perlite)
GH flora series base
Green Planet massive bloom, terminator and finisher
GH Rapidstart
Superthrive
ThriveAlive red

And 135cfm exhaust with passive intake and 4" carbon filter.

Will get a journal going shortly once I get this first one figured out...

Looking forward to your journal bro

Hey brother!! Yeah, I grew photos in the hempy buckets before so not totally new to me. Just the auto part is lol. The 1/4 strength nutes and sensitivity are my learning curves at the moment

You picked a good place to start, youll find all the help you need here man. Welcome abord

got your eye on a specific strain to start out with?

Actually, I have a Think Different going now which I neglected some. Ran into a cal issue as well when figuring out how to feed autos...

Should I be switching to bloom nutes soon. I'm still confused on how much to feed these things as they seem very picky. One member from another site told me to feed veg till stretch had completed...then switch.

read life or stages of an autoflower by muddy in the new grower forum.I've grown a few and was switching to bloom to early like week 3 n 4..... but now waiting til there done streatching and its been like week 5 or 6.only 1/4 strength....all my plants seem to have calmag problems.....hopefully with all this info that will change this run

Yea thats pretty sound advice about switching nutes. Once you get your feed schedule dialed in for autos youll be growing monsters like that NLB above

Welcome, TT! I see you found the Intro's, so you're off and rocking!!! I'd keep this thread as your journal, Brother, Hell it's starting off with a bang and can be renamed, just say the word and a Mod will help you out.

Yep, for the biggest yields keep on the veg program until the stretch stops (it won't actually stop, but dramatically slow). I have switched to flower nutes early, but only when space was an issue.

Amen. Some strains are more touchy than others, but 1/4 strength is the safe place to start. Realize, too, that LED's tend to bump up the Ca and Mg requirements of the plant quite a bit. Start using it early, and at the higher rates. If you have a CaMg product with added N, be sure to take that into account when you feed.
Awesome start to the world of autos, Friend, have a
Why do I like the horse thing so much?
