Shooters choice lol. I harvest all at once but friends do let there auto lower branches go longer.i just haven’t seen where they get enough increase in yield to tie up the tent for the next grow.
I live in wa state and probably smoked everything under the sun.Autos grown and cured right will rival photoes potency wise all day.Do I only grow autos only ? No I grow photos also but more for yield , potency is the same. You can grow a nice load of autos in 60-70 days what’s not to love?
You should see some action in a week to 10 days.you going to run it on 12/12 with your photo's? I hope not that plant is looking good and will end up pretty nice afternoon the stretch.12/12 will definatly cost you in yield.
Well it can really depend on lighting.a 1000 watt light will generate more heat than say t-5s and a T-5 will generate more heat than a led.Go big is my suggestion,get a variable speed 8 " fan for exhaust with an 8" carbon filter.does your tent allow intake from the Bottom?
