Makes sense, I wondered how it was possible for the time frames. It really made me question things when I was able to actually grow and experience the whole process. Like for Auto to Germinate and flower in the same amount of time I'd be probably starting the 12/12 Cycle on a female plant...I looked into and read alot of posts and comments on individuals who did Auto and it seems like 30/70. 30% saying they got a good Harvest and the other 70% having problems, plants Dying or flower ain't reaching full potential..
Do you recommend any sites for beans that are good with shipping and ok priced

Definitely! I use the D.C. Seed Exchange. ANYTHING from Bob Bitchen's that I've gotten has been good so far. I'd steer clear of Hazeman. Everything I've gotten from them is mediocre. Copa has some good stuff. I'd recommend that you buy feminized seeds so that you have less chance of disappointment with ending up with males. Just take a look around at the D.C. Seed Exchange's site and browse around. I'm sure you'll find something!

Actually yes I have and I'm very Intrigued by it..I'm very handy and I have the space and tools to do it. What would you suggest. Also thank for taking your time to respond and share your thoughts. It means alot..
I was considering doing a Strip on the floor and on the sides of the walls in the middle..because I noticed with the last grow that the Branches and flowers grew where most of the light was and I noticed how the lower ones could get to their Full potential due to lack of light. So towards the end I went in my Garage and brought one of my led lights in and laid it on the floor and i noticed the flowers who were barely holding on improvised. So I kept a mental note that next time I'll have lights there

If you give me the details of you existing lights I can work out what you'd need in addition and give you some parts to order.

Is it two lights you've got?
What wattage is each?
Or better still have you got a link so I can look them up?

Thank you for sharing your experience and Knowledge. Like I always say. I came across this hobby when I couldn't see the reason for the next day. I started my first grow when I had lost my income, relationship, my daughter moved out, I crashed my truck all in 3-4 week span...
I feel into a bad place , but the universe blessed me with my first grow. And to be honest I truly enjoy getting up and sitting with the plants and looking at them for hours as they grow and become a amazing plant..watching my last grow kept my mind positive and I forgot about the negative if that makes sense..that's why I'm so excited on this grow..I miss them mornings sitting with my coffee and dog and just Admiring, taking care and talking to the plants
 
I'm actually going to build a Terrarium for a chameleons getting and it's going to be in my grow room..I'm naming him cosmo the chameleon.
Can't wait to relax in the room after work and in the mornings with my dog Memphis, and cosmo and watch them grow

Unfamiliar with them. The only other place that I've purchased seeds is directly from the Archive Seed Bank....They have really nice stuff....but, man, they are expensive!

NASC (North Atlantic Seed Co.) carries a pretty wide selection of stuff and reps most breeders. Yes, they also have white label stuff too, but variety is solid and not a bad place to browse. Best of luck with the grow!

Here are the lights I have now

Well, I'm going to try and be gentle.....Those lights are probably not the best. They are generally known as "Blurples" because they put out that bluish-purple light. They are kind of "yesterday's fad" kind of lights. They have been outmoded by many of the newer-style "full-spectrum white" lights.
If it's at all possible to return those blurples, then I'd recommend that you trade them in for a couple Viparspectra XS 1500 Pro lights. They are currently available on Amazon for under $100 each. I got mine on Cyber Monday sale for $71.00 each. They are fantastic lights! -Easily the best bang for the buck out there for small grow ops, in my opinion.

I'm not saying those blurples won't work. They'll probably work okay. But they are very unpleasant to work under -hard to see things like bugs, mold, etc. Good lights are usually your biggest, single investment (or should be).
