I'm taking my first go at autos.
Picked these beans up from a local breeder. Now the situation is less than optimal. The main reason being. They will spend their days under 12/12 lighting. I had two photos end up being male. And I wanted to fill in some space in the tent.

I do have another journal going for the photo type in this tent. But I am thinking I will make this one for the autos. Wish me luck
Here is a link to my original journal.

I guess I could add a bit more info to this post. I planted into 1 gallon fabric pots. Filled with ffhf. When the time comes. I will be feeding with gen organic.
I am hoping to get a couple ounces to fill the void until the outdoor autos do their thing.
As for lighting. I have an aponuo led fixture and a second led fixture. For the life of me
I cannot recall the brand.
Right now the babies are in the furthest corner away from the lights.

I've grown autos under 12/12 lighting, once. It's totally doable, just keep your expectations low and you won't be disappointed. Since there is a good chance they'll stay small, be prepared to put something under them (like an upside down 3 or 5 gallon plastic pot) to raise them up so they can become part of your existing canopy, otherwise the photos will overshadow them.

If your lights off temps are cooler, it will slow the autos down and they'll take a while to finish. Either way, it's likely your photos will probably finish before the autos. The nice thing is that you'll be able to throw in some new photos, switch the lights to 18/6 and finish the autos with that lighting.

We have been going through a cold snap recently. And i had forgotten to open the heat register for the room. I finally remembered to do that last night. I checked the temp when I got off work. And it was at 23 degrees. Which isn't bad. But not great. Growth has been very slow the last few days. But when I got home today. There was a good amount of growth. Sitting at a balmy 27 in the room now. Guess I was stunting them with low Temps.

You don’t like big plants,I should give the lst a try
I didn't realize it had been so long since my last update. Really tied them down this morning. After seeing some pictures of these two strains posted on the page I got the seeds from. They are going to get big if I don't keep training.
