Chao, autos dont really need huge pots unless your'e using 400w+
I tend to use anything from 2-3L soda bottles to 1 gal pots and they grow just fine.
If you are running a 400+ i would suggest a min of 1-2gal.
nice pix tru, they look real nice :)
you could chop around 60 days but they generally arent at their peak until 70-80 days,sometimes even 85-90ish days.....
so check the trichs on the plants regularly, as some of the plants will mature faster than others...
i wait til the Pistils stop growing...
Not much heat at all...but it depends on the dimensions of your grow space and the efficiency of your intake/exhaust,and also whether the ballast has been remoted....
These will all affect the temps of the cab.
In 150w grows utilising a cooltube, you can generally get the plants around an inch...
Ok heres the pix..Lookin alot better in comparison to the pix i posted a couple of pages back huh.
the clone is still having a few leaf issues but its not as mangled as it was.

Well, i just checked in on 'the victims' and theyre perking up alot, and are now starting to flower properly.
Theres still an issue or two that i need to solve, but i'm gonna see how they fair for the next wk or so first.
The Clone has darkened a lil, and looks alot happier than when i rescued...
That depends on your setup Shef, If you have sufficient exhausting, and/or fans pulling the heated air from around the bulb you can prolly get around 5" to make the most of the 150w.
If you dont have good venting and/or fans pulling the excess heat from the bulb, you should aim for around 8-10"...
Ok heres the rescue pix...
The topped indica clone is the one thats takin its sweet time regaining its health, its perked up alot in the last wk, but its still a lil pale.
The other unmolested indica, was originally intended as a mother for my buddy, but he was all pissed that a big bunch of...
Good to see ya bro :D
Lol... fuckin stoner! ha ha i told you hella time back, that i use live in hayward, then daly, a lil while in mission n now we bought a house in the boonies.. lol if you ever around Embar or daly.. 6'8" head to toe tattoos, buddha and severed geishas head on my hands...
Ha Ha yeah bro, yo gotta be patient :) having a a few masons full of bud from previous grow helps the wait..
It took around 17wks to get how i like it..
Its curing nicely, and has a great gfruit aroma, and leaves a slightly bitter gfruit taste..Its 4wks since drying and i figure on another 2 or...
nice work Mile...
the grapefruit? its still curing, altho i did take a few nugs for the wait..
and its awesome stuff, i always bitch n moan cuz it takes sooooo damned long to flower how i like it..but it always delivers primo :)
they should be ok chronic, they can handle a lil heat stress every now n then, its when its a continual problem that it will fuck it up.
you're pretty late in flowering so i think the worst that will happen is you might get a few male flowers, which wont really screw up anything unless you have...
Holla Holmes.. reppin alameda MM, but you knew that...
:mrgreen:
Well the indicas seem to be right at home since i rescued them from my buddy's deathly hands.. He seems to be lookin after the mother i gave him, BUT he has successfully annihilated over 60 of my clones.
Went to see his progress...
Good to see you guys are still pushing the limits :D
I got a couple of my indicas flowering in the cab at the moment, 1 is at the end of its first wk, the other is just startin to break out with the preflowers, ima try n keep them short as poss so i can squeeze in the ecsd x cheese i've been...
yeah econolights dead stock is now gone, but for anyone reading this that hasn't managed to get their hands on a 150 yet, theres still a whole bunch of manufacturers that still do 150w, but unfortunately they aren't 20 bucks..
here's a few examples of what i pulled up with a brief look in google
