1-4 ounces is realistic. However idk that autos lifespans. My breeder said my auto would be done on day 80-100 and on day 80 its still in veg so its kind of a guessing game

Try getting some additional cfls and lamps and help get the lower branches some light

Thanks for the tips homies! I'll keep my post up to date, really helpful site!! Day 38 I lowered the 2 main branches so the lower half gets more light. Pretty positive that the whole plant has light right now.P_20160422_151946_HDR_1.jpg

should i have a couple of small 15W CFL dangling from the top of the box? and how far apart in between the buds and bulb?

do buds like light bulb heat? always wondered.

im on a tight budget aswell! i've got a couple of 15w CFL lights laying around, how much for 4 dangling light socket thingos and where to get them?

CFLs should be within one to two inches of your plant.

As far as bulb heat goes plants do not like too much heat stress. As long as ambient temps are between 75-85 you should be good.

Dangling light sockets can be found at almost any hard ware store, just ask one of the employees there they can help.

Typically you want to veg with 6500k and flower with 2700k. It will work with 6500k all the way through but nuggets will tend to be fluffy and less dense. I've seen lots of people mix the spectrums together tho gonna try that my self

I like to mix spectrum. A 50/50 mix Is what I prefer.

A 2:1 ratio works good to. During veg run two 6500 to one 2700 and reverse for flower.

I use an 4ft 8 bulb t5ho with 10,000k+uva bulbs with pure par bulbs with 6500 and 3000k bulbs. I can tell a difference with a good mixed spectrum.
