If I was you I’d put them both in and dim a little. I didn’t realise they were autos. You can’t fill corner to corner with autos anyway. They grow as much as they wanna grow... I don’t like autos! 1 plant a time in a 5x5?? Gonna be HUGE. All my advice about light is more for people with photos that want to maximise their tent. Want corner buds like middle buds.. Gl
Im affraid to say you have no chance in 36 days lol. I really don’t get autos. I’ve fucked with them a few times for fun but I just can’t handle not having full control over my grow. as far as I’m concerned auto take just as long to flower as photos.. but as I say I don’t bother with them so what do I know lol.
I would but I just went 12/12 on my ace killer og. So I need the 300 for her but when autos are done I will put her in the tent to finish her off with both light
I thought about pulling them but I will get something out of them, it's my first time growing them. Supposed to be 35 days veg and 35 days to finish, so I will see what they do.
Well 9 more days will be 70 days on the auto's, there might be one or two ready. Only been giving them 11 hours of light because I have a photo in there with them.
Yes I agree, I'm only using 16 quare foot of my 25 square for tent and I have a total of 900 watts over plants, a 600 watt and a 300 watt.
At this point I got my lights turned down to where I'm giving my plants in the 50,000 + lux and I'm getting some heat stress, sides of leaves curling up and lights are couple feet above plants. I could easily double the lux out put but the plants wouldn't be able to use it, just hurt them.
Last month on everything I've grown so far has shot up. Is this the tent you're going to use for the 1 big photo?
It we'll be a minute, got to finish what I got now and I'm going to start some things for my wife then I will take off with it.
Using a LUX meter is very helpful. Takes a lot of the guess work out of it. Distance from canopy, what you dim it to, how accurate your dimmer is (75% could actually be 50%), etc. If you move your light down 3'' and also turn it down 10%, are the plants getting more or less light? or the same? without a tool like a lux meter you are guessing. 15k lux for seedlings / very small plants 25-35k lux for strong veg growth 35-45k lux for flower If you setup your light where you ultimately want the canopy to be, the plants will sort of "grow into it" and find their sweet spot and significantly slow down their growth. And yellow leaves are lack of nitrogen. Feed them. These girls were sprouted under a 1000w and stayed under it their whole life.
could be much more level but that bottom right plant vegged crazy slow. but it smells like she was worth it. and the top left girl is heavy leaning sativa so she ended up kinda tall. plus this is the transition from those stupid autoflowers to real marijuana plants.
