I plan on doing some autoflowers aswell, should I MH in the first month, and HPS in the second? Or does that really even matter?
Yes I have noticed a big difference. The plants LOVE the MH. I'm switching to HPS because HPS is more for flowering. The regular plants won't flower because the lights will remain on 20/4 until the AFs are harvested. The day I harvest the AFs, I will pop MH back in and go to 18/6 and then eventually 12/12. You could really do an entire grow start to finish with just HPS or just MH and everything would turn out fine, people have done it, read around the grow logs.

You are correct in that MH is better in the first month and then HPS in the second. What kind of AF strains are you thinking about trying? I've heard so many good things about auto AK47 x LR2 plus there are some new strains like Ak47 x Diesel af dwarf or the red dwarf from buddah.


"you guys flush in veg? I haven't had to flush other than pre harvest or I thought I may have over fed them once. I have not used FF, I had been using the complete BC starter kits for the last 3-4 grows (plus many additional suppliments) and no salt appearing, no nute lockout. Am I just lucky or am I missing something?"

My veg flush is basically just 3 seperate waterings of just distilled water. I haven't experienced salt build up yet, as I'm monitoring ph pretty good. However, I did have a little bit of nute burn on the tips of a couple lower leaves.

They are really starting to smell up the grow area and there are nice resinous white hairs coming out. I'm also about 70% sure that my G13 Thai SS is a female which is great news. Temp and humidy is currently 76F/52%. Thank you for your comments guys, keep 'em coming and if you don't mind, throw me some rep! :thumbsup: lol More pics coming on Monday.:hippy:
