    Try keeping your autos on 24 hrs of light for the first 3-4 weeks. They veg out like crazy, thus have better structure for supporting bigger buds. I have tried this with two diff strains, and the results were more than pleasing. Try it. Stay Crunchy!

    Wow - I never thought about doing an indoor grow in an outbuilding. That would rock! What growing zone are you in?

    northern hem ..... summers mild - winters about 9 months long and pretty cold, i was getting approx 35-40f inside the outbuilding constant.... so running my lights 23-1 ment i could maintain 75f without any problems ..... and for the one hour lights out i found i was dropping below the perfered 65f inside the cabinet quite sharply .... thats why i fitted that vivarium heater seen in my previous picture (bottom right of photo)
    once i'd fitted that i set it to its lowest setting (64f) and it is thermastaticly controlled.... so i was able to keep it degree perfect day and night
