so i guess am starting with a Lowryrder 2 in a closet ,she seems like a decent not too tiring lady,so now we come to the autoflowering part,
from wut i understood,setup,soil,fert,potting,vendlition,ph,f lushin.type of lighting,bla bla bla are all the same (my eyez r gona pop 2 days stright research n stil need another 2 days to understand wut i raed X) ),
only the lightin period is diff,24/0 or 18/6 the whole period from seeding till hearvest.
is that true tht the only diff i should note with an autoflowerin lady is the lighting scheduel and all the other points are the same?
and that is 24/0 or 18/6 for the entire thing since i put the seeds till i smoke my babyz ?

yeah and what about the pots since it only has 2 cycles ?and is feeding excatly the same cuz i heard LR2 doest requir as much attention as other girls.

Yeah the only thing you need to do different is not change the lights to 12/12.

As for size of pot, since they don't get big and they seem to only stay in veg for just about 3 weeks they really only need one transplant and can be finished in something like a 2 gal pot. I had good success starting mine in plastic quart-sized milk cartons and at the 2.5 week mark moving to a 9.5" square pot (9.5" x 9.5" x 12" tall).

Feeding - Some strains don't need as much as others, and I've heard autoflowers don't need much compared to normal strains. I just used the normal schedule and the plants were just fine.
