What a lot of people need to remember it is a weed. It grows in ditches, on hill, in 100 degrees, in 45 degrees, with little oxygen, with a lot of oxygen, in the shade, in the full sunlight, it is a weed. 5 hours of light and 12 hours. Just GROW it and be happy. Damn, weeds can be grown by anyone. Smart people, rich people or idiots can grow weed.
They grow in windows, with CFL and SUPER COBS. Just Grow it and learn from others. Save the "my team is better than your team" for your sports teams. Here we should all be on the GROW team. And if you can not learn then take your balls and go home.
Hey HLG, great thread again! I have learned an astounding amount of super informative practices throughout all your journals/threads etc. Guys like you are perfect to learn from. You are right when you say there is a lot of bullshit on here... why spin your wheels with excess expense when you can get there without wasting all your time and gas money, right? Keep up the great work, my friend. We can all learn a little something here.

Just keep in mind. There are a lot of things you can tweak to optimize your grows. I'm trying to show you can keep autos very simple with minimal equipment.

I'm about to start my first indoor crop and I'm going to run autos just to get my head in the game a bit. I've read a bit about time and nuts all that. i was wondering if you don't start the nutes till white hairs start showing, would you go straight into flower nutes or use veg for a week/2 then flower? also would you use boost or anything like that ?

Answer to above............IMO the flower stretch , consumes a lot of nitrogen , so id say stay with veg nute for a while , or until U think stretch has finished, then a half strenth bloom nute & slowly build up
Early in this thread , HLG says anymore than a 1 gallon bag is a waste of soil, but now there is a side by side , in bigger & smaller pots , he's running , great experiment , im wondering how thats going ??
Happy gardening to all

I don't think I said the 1 gallons are optimal and everything else is a waste. I could go back and look but I'm too lazy. I'm just showing that you CAN grow in 1 gallons. The only reason I'm currently growing in 1 gallons is because I'm breeding my BKRs and the bigger pots mean less plants under my lights.
Anyway - I'll take a pic of the trio in the 1-2-3 gallons probably tomorrow.

My room is a bit warm today. Door is open and fans on. No problem just have to make sure they are hydrated. Kinda cool pic with the plants reflection.

I go through these heat waves every year. Trust me it's really not a problem. Not optimal but no biggie.

yep..no problem. They dont really suffer till your into the high 30's C - 40's C. About the same temps you want to have a swim in. Nice summer day's temp.
As long as your moving air its fine.

It was right at 55 grams cured i had some heat issues and i think that someone with much more grow skills and better setup can get 3-4 zips.
The high is really well balanced... It will creep up on you tho.

HLG it was by accident on my last grow that I saw that the (3) 5qt pots I started some Pinkies in grew to nearly the same size as the ones I grew in a 4gal air pot and my home made 3gal air pots. Just to prove the point I started (6) Gorilla Glue in the big pots a (2) in the 5qt pots to confirm what suprised me and your point.

One out of seven coming down for the hang. 1 gallon BKR f4. Nothing to write home about, but I'll guarantee you I'll have volunteers here in the next few weeks.
