Soooo I'm about to take a big step to the unknown of growing autos fully loaded. Well not all of it because I'm throwing 3 Purple Punch photos just in case. 18 pots no more no less. 10 fabrics and the rest plastic.

Anyway I couldn't help myself and with the wife's budget approval I went ahead and bought the XS2000 from Viparspectra and beside it was on sales. And why not non ? You only live once.

Now I'm just waiting for the beans to be delivered. Hope I have enough light intensity for the autos and not to overkill it. So a new chapter and a new experience is about to begin for this old grower.

Have a safe weekend y'all,

Happy days buddy! If grow your autos like you do your photos, I'm sure they will come out beautiful.
 
I am subbed and following sir as I will be 3 to 4 weeks behind with some Maui autos and excited to watch you. Maybe you can make all the mistakes for me, lol ! Lots of pics and words please sir! May Mother shine her grow light upon your harvest!
 
I am trimming two Autos, in between tapping on my keyboard. My rotation indicated that I would be served best with at least a few autos in the mix. This is the second time I've grown autos. I now have one Magnum Auto that has sprouted above the coco. The Autos I've posted are FastBud's LSD - 25s. I have limited myself to one gallon pots, so I may fit more in my tent. These are also the BIGGEST Autos I've grown. The Magnums are reported to grow "Bushy". We'll see. I'm EXCITED for you - Good Luck!!!

Farmbuck - Thanks! I actually follow Nebula's feeding schedule for coco. It, I believe IS an Auto schedule. They have been the easiest for me to tend too - You GOT this!
 
So here's my question. Some say 20/4 it's better for autos during grow but others reject it. They say 18/6 is the same. So what's your thoughts to this question ? Or should I say your answer... Voilà pour l'instant..!

Just for the fun of it I'm going with it yeah the 24/0 for 2 months and see what will happen after 8 wks non ?

You got this buddy, good luck. I started my first Auto grow about a week ago, and it has already been like a good movie. Lots of drama, suspense, a little action, emotional, with a bit of anxiety thrown in;) .. lol.

I will be watching for answers to your lighting question mate, lots of different information out there when researching. I have settled for the 18/6 light cycle, but might change my mind after seeing what answers you get.
 
Remember I'm new at it. I mean the autos types so will see with the 20/4 "daytime". Maybe autos are more forgiveness that photos eh? Or not lolll Remember my last grow non ? Almost a terrible yes a terrible grow but at the end I managed to harvest over 600 g of dry buds & nugs from my photos . And yes the damn anxiety is starting to seek in !! Feel like it's gonna be a roller coaster kind of grow.

I agree with BU2B, if anyone can do this you are definitely one of them. Don't think Autos are more forgiving buddy, but can only hope for the sake of my grow haha. I remember your last grow, maybe didnt start off the best mate, but you recovered when many would not have. Even though your Mrs ditched the size of the buds lol, if i remember correctly, you still got a good harvest. And like it has already been mentioned, your photography is always inspirational. I think once the first grow is out of the way the anxiety and emotions should settle down some, well that's what I'm hoping for anyway haha. Definitely going to be a roller coaster of a grow for me.
 
I think it's a good idea, GWE is ambivalent. I simply started with 18/6 because that seemed to be the most popular choice. Since I have photos mixed in with my Auto seedlings, in my veg tent, I'll stick with 18/6. I am kind of excited about your adventure. I'll be lurking....
 
Man oh Man you now have such great lights an space. Are you going to use Urban garden soil mix and the usual stuff for the grow like in your info section? Just low level feeding till you know how well they like it. It's gonna be a blast watching these Farmbuck. I'm so happy for you an that new light. Just wow
 
Yep dear western friend. SoOrbudgal I'm going back to my old organic soil no more PRO-MIX for now lollll For the nutrients I'm not changing anything and yes I'll be feeding them in moderation. Remember Budgal I'm not accustomed with autos well not yet anyway loll. Now if the beans can pass custom lolll
