First auto grow. I have a small and unconventional grow space but it works!

First update for Bruce Banner Auto- May 3:
Planted: 4/20 :) It just worked out that way.
Sprouted: 4/22

Started with t5 about 3" away, increased to LED 6400k 5-6" away today.

Growing in black&gold potting soil in a 3 gal plastic container with just PHed water as needed so far.

It will be relocated to it's own grow space with full spectrum lights soon but it's functioning as a drying space this week. For now the auto is sharing the closet with my veggie starts for the spring!

So latest pictures are day 11 from sprout with a few more from along the way.

Cheers to sunny days!

I 100% would grow outdoor if I could. And I might even try... but I got punked last year so I'm not sure I'm ready for that heartbreak again.

I’m lucky to have an outdoor garden that gives tomatoes, jalapeños, serranos, radish, spearmint, sweet peas and some real good cilantro in the kind of heat we have near the southern border. I’m cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs about growing Autoflowers here in the winter!

Auto Bruce Banner Update 2
May 9 (17 days from sprout)

She started a bit slow but is definitely picking up the pace now! Moved today to new home with additional 150w full spectrum lighting. That should also hopefully give her a kick!

Re: overwatering. The old space was extra dry and I had just burried the stem a bit and added bone dry soil. I also typically take pictures right after and not every day.

Any tips about LST on autoflower? I'm sure that's just around the corner. Not planning to top this one.

P.S. Try not to judge my setup lol

I swear it has successfully grown excellent pot to maturity before!

The purple light is a waste if it's just going to light the back of your other light and cast a shadow on the plant.

The full spectrum still hits the plant bc it's off to the side at a big of an angle. It's been growing faster since adding it, especially lower branching.

Update 3: May 11 (19 days from sprout)

Quick update to show her loving her new home.
Planting a second Bruce Banner Auto today :)

Any thoughts on when to start lightly feeding? Not seeing any deficiencies but thinking of starting 1/4 dose soon... is it smart to get ahead or a rookie move?

Theres a potential to improve your light positioning. Everything adds up in the end.

I'm open to suggestions. The space limits my options a bit as the long full spectrum only fits in certain ways. By the time its fully grown I typically have one light on top and at least one more hanging vertically for side supplemental lighting. Here's the full space.... you can see better how the white LED is not actually blocking the full spectrum. I also have an 18" HO t5 and an 18"LED on my veggie starts that can be added later.

BTW the Bruce Banner Auto is a killer strain. I got 6 ozs per plant and I grew 4. Big fat full buds and a very nice couch lock stone. I give it 4 stars. One of my top 5 for sure..:weed:

Good to hear! How long did they end up taking? And what's your #1 pick?

I've only been raising the LED to encourage stretching since the nodes are too close. Other than that the lights havent moved. If not being positive or constructive feel free to stop commenting.

Just trying to keep it real :peace:

You don't have to play me like that, you can just tell me you are conscious of what I am saying instead of beating around the bush with it like I'm a bad guy bullying you.
