All my GSC autos have finished in 63-65 days from seed. I'm sure their is exceptions, but i've consistently chopped on day 63.

What's your temp and RH like in the tent? Just curious so i know more information. Exhaust/Intake?
sure I’ll try answer questions best I can lol just incase you want to see the whole lot and more details I do have a grow journal in the grow journal section titled 5x GSC grow.

the temps are currently 27C (80F) and RH is 50% - I’m trying to get it down but it ranges between 50% at night and about 54% day time.

I grew from seed. I’ve used plant magic organic soil (12ltr pots which is 2.6 gallon pots) and I used plant magic old timers grow and bloom nutrients. They’ve had continuous feeds with grow from the end of week 1 till week 5 where I did a 50/50 mix between grow and bloom - PH is always 6-6.5PH which I read soil prefers.

the set up is pretty simple. I’ve got a tent, it’s got a 600w HPS lamp, with a dual spectrum bulb, and it’s got an exhaust fan and carbon filter with ducting, plus fan air intake, plus ducting, plus an oscillating fan inside. Ive got fan speed controllers on all my fans to control the fan speeds when necessary. I’ve had to do this during cold periods to control temps.

light has always been kept 20inchs from tops of plants and this has been strictly controlled by a trusted good old fashioned tape measure ahaha

Very nice, thank you for the information. I will be jumping over to your journal after this post.

First, your RH is great! I wish i could maintain those numbers. You seem to be on the right track with your soil/pots/nutes/ph etc...

My first 3-4 grows I had temperatures that stayed around 80-84 F. I had a 4'' exhaust hooked to a carbon filter (venting outside tent right into the room) and a 4'' intake blowing air into the tent from inside the room. Room would get up to 75-80, so intake was pumping warm air into tent and making it hard to control temps. I went ahead and installed a window A/C to combat this. I now run that as needed to maintain temps @ 75 F or close to it.

The girls appreciate it much more. I've went from seed to harvest at 80+ F though, so don't let it discourage you. You've got good enough intake that they keep getting fresh air, so it's not a huge deal. Mostly a cosmetic thing as the leaves and overall plant look healthier with the cooler temps. Sometimes my leaves would twist or curl a bit from the higher temps.

20'' away is great for that light and your temps. If you can lower the temps some you could drop it to 12-15 inches away.

Looking forward to following this grow. With your setup, I'm honestly think you can get 10oz from 5 GSC girls. Maybe more.

Interesting to see the same plant grown in different ways And different stages.
Keep up the good work. Those are some happy looking ladies man!

I'd say about 3 weeks of veg. So you are basically starting to flower now. You will see some rapid growth in the plant as it will stretch like crazy.

Try to keep your temps as low as possible and keep your lights as close to the plants as possible.

Thanks for the reply, I think I will drop the light a little now down to 18 inches and my temps at the moment is roughly 80f light on and 76f lights off. Humility 47 .

I think the main lst is coming to the end just a few adjustments through early flower! Sound about right????
