Be careful of the high temps.

The plants tend to be a little more tolerant of high temps in veg, but in flower those kinda temps can stunt them.

I think that’s what happened to mine on reflection. My veg room wasn’t fully equipped but I popped the seeds and put them in there.

I hadn’t put the Mylar in yet and thought it would be plenty cool enough, since it was just a cardboard structure with plenty of gaps for ventilation.

Well I put the Mylar in and a temp gauge and found that my babies had been cooking in the low 90’s under my 4 foot T5 HO unit, yelp.

I put an air intake fan in and will figure out how to get a Carbon filter in there without blocking any light within a week or so.

Necessity is the mother of invention, so I’ve got an idea how this may be achieved.

The main tent reached critical mass now, vegging will be restricted solely to the veg tent/area.

So no more swapping between the flowering tent and the veg area for my stunted lady.

She will have to be content with the standard 12 hrs light cycle and I guess I can take her out of the tent during lights out.

We'll see how that works out, lol.

She's bottom right corner in the first pic.

The second pick is the vegging area now.

nah man but was Literally just thinking that. im looking @ urs and there healthy and awesome
but not nearly as bushy. they look super single cola dominant. and @ first i was like well he
prolly didnt top like me (cuz i always top but these are my first autos). but then i remembered
i didnt top.

i heard alot of negative comments about topping the autos so i never touched em,
thats their natural structure!

ya Herb man that is a sexy set up lol man i need two tents like that.
im 90% sure im gonna flip my tent to 12/12 and try to bring the autos outside like 5 -7 hrs a day.
i was measuring yesterday and all the plants are same size give or take 2 inches which is
weird since some are 2 weeks apart. but their @ like 32 inches with the pot. and its an 84 inch
tent. and ive heard upon flipping to 12/12 u can expect the plant to double in size. this is my first
time but if thats close to tru i need to flip RIGHT MEOW lol

Why you flippin to 12/12?

I don’t know if the 12/12 rule applies to Autos.

Plus if you put them outside to get more light on top of the 12/12 then it wont be 12/12 anymore it will be 12 + however many hours of light they are getting on top of the 12.

Do not switch to 12/12 you will kill yield. That does not apply to autos. And the reason they got stunted is because you transplanted them. Autos don't have a long enough lifespan to recover from the transplant stress. Your t5s should of been about 3 inches above your plants or else they will stretch and be lanky. That's why they aren't as bushy as the other guys
