    Autoflowers in 12/12

    As witnessed, mentioning autos on RIU seems to bring out the negatives toward the little ones. I've grown autos and photos together for 20 yrs...of course on 12/12. Even with 2 ltr pots, my yeilds are good enough for me. Healthy plants are my only goal...1-2 oz yeilds are also good enough for...

    Ethos autos speak well for the breeder. Pluto Cut is top shelf.

    Autos

    Autos have come a long way since I've been growing them. My first autos were from joint doctor, stitch and short stuff....almost 20 years ago. Always in search of the lost chord, autos have changed as breeders and pollen chunkers have bastardized the auto process which has increased quality and...

    Need help choosing an air conditioning unit

    Yes, I actually control climate in the whole area...about 350-400 sq ft... for less swings in temp and hum.....with a perpetual grow going for 20 yrs, I have definitely seen what can and will change an end result and the route getting there. Control temps and all else will fall in line...mostly.

    quiter inline fan option

    I run the 4" ac infinity with the adjustable controller. I have to look at the controller to know the fan is actually working...No db to relate except it's just damn quiet.

    Yes or No Biobizz people?!

    I use BB light mix and always ph anything going in.....6.3-6.5...after nute mixing. Let me add....I retired from a national chemical company where we serviced many large manufacturing plants and their use of proprietary chemicals...We ALWAYS did a water check to KNOW what the vehicle (water)...

    Need help choosing an air conditioning unit

    I run a 7000 btu window unit in an adjacent area to my grow area...it also has a dehumidifier side to the ac so it's more efficient at various times. Previously ran a 7000 btu portable that also had a dehumidifier op too that did a good job... Controlling a small space is more problem than a...

    Air Conditioning: In wall or Portable

    The portable I use is a Koldfront 7000 btu....and easily cools 600 sqft ...although I use the dehumidifier function more than the ac. Even though I bought it used, it has definitely earned a spot in keeping my grows in temp/hum spec.

    Air Conditioning: In wall or Portable

    Over the years I've used available options, that I could afford, to control heat in a perpetual grow... Few years ago, I went with a portable ac/dehumidifier. The option of cool or dehumidify was def a plus as I used the dehumid side mostly. Later changed to a window ac/dehumidifier that gives...

    First run with autos!

    No where will a grower find that autos 'require' more light, only that they can handle it. After that, it becomes a growers preference and mine is less costs in every facet of growing. Quality does not improve with size. Being a medical cannabis user, quality weed is foremost. Of course I've run...

    Nope.

    First run with autos!

    Bragging rights are not a valid reason. My protocol works fine. Health of plants is primary. Yall follow yalls and I'll follow mine. Cheers for good growing.

    First run with autos!

    FFOF tends to be a bit hot for autos so It's good to see you made it through the seedling stage with some ....next time use a milder medium... On autos and schedules, I've grown autos perpetually for 20 years ......on 12/12...which allows me to run a photo or two alongside, just to keep those...

    PPM best practices for Feeding Autoflowers in Soil?

    Yep...I was always very conservative. and simple. Oh sure, I've done the 'grow a monster' thing but being perpetual for over 20 years, with plants at all stages at all times, it's just easier to do it the simple method.....I always stick to the milder soilless mixes.

    PPM best practices for Feeding Autoflowers in Soil?

    From all the details about feeding, it sure makes me feel like I'm behind the times. After 20 years of growing in soil such as BB, Promix etc...autos and photos....I've just used a up to 25% strength of nutes. Only check ph and letr rip. Never checked ppm anything.

    24/0 versus 18/6

    Yes. After 20 yrs, I've found no reason other than bragging rights, to do it any other way. To compensate, just run more. Does fine.
