I'm down.

snoogins

Sounds good to me, I'm in.

I'm in.

I am going to be testing a bunch of autoflower strains and techniques one plant (maybe two) at a time.

My ideas are:
Utilizing mixed spectrums of light through veg and flower (CFL 6500k/2700k).
Just using slow release fertilizer.
Creating seeds out of autoflowers.

What do you think?

hey, i think if your planing on using autos for some testing a good one might be 24/0 vs. 18/6 for the duration to see any possible negative effects of no dark period on root and general growth?

I am currently doing an auto grow of 20x easy buds from queen of seeds. They had 20/4 for 3 weeks now 12/12 as I have master kush in the same flower room which I want to flower off too. They dont seem to be doing so bad with less hours...I'll add photos later.

I don't plan on using 18/6 for autos ever. I planned on using a 20/4 schedule when my first auto's go into veg.

However, trying a full on 24/0 is more my style. I just might do that with this grow.

no I can't say I have, but sounds powerful enough.



this is great though, this is what we really need, independent research into cultivation, I need to find some of my old lab equipment..

i may be able to help with stuff. i work with Dr Hornby and a nute co so have valuable info to share
also to the dood running autos...auto need more light, not 12/12. more light more growth and bud less is less in the auto family. our best test results came at 20 on and 4 off. .....strain dependant

yea i was planing on doing 24/0 but joint doctor recommended 18/6 on their website idno tho it does seem strange that they'd say more isnt better would be good to see some side by side testing

It's actually a link to my grow, it's not that obviously stated though.

I am well aware of that but as I clearly stated I have 10 master kush flowering currently too so I cant change things right now, I can see that they would prefer more light but they are frankly not a great strain from queen of seeds. I have to make decisions for the whole flower room not just some autos I got as freebees. Thanks none the less.

ah, ok. never even heard of that seed bank. me id kill em then, waste of time and foods and room....to me.

What kind of experiments? I got room to play a little...

Now that would be a waste, I have the space, time, nutes etc. and they will tide me over till better things mature.....I am planning a perpetual garden with all new equipment etc.....exciting times ahead!!!
