Can I put Autoflowers straight under 600w hps light from seedling?

[Aynzli Jones]

Brotha, you should just run auto's outdoors year round in Jamaica!

Right now I've got a nice expirement going on same strain indoor n outdoor comparison, indoor is winning by far But we'll see how they come out, I wanna grow some monster outside

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Good on you. That outdoor plant looks good. Remember the smoke and effect is what matters at the end of the grow.

Yep Only thing that counts is the smoke

Hey man.

Dunno if it's any small help, but I always stick my babies straight under the 400w hps, right from the moment the seed hits the soil, although run perpetual and plant every 4-6 weeks. If I were to start over with an empty tent, I think I'd run them under a cfl for a while to save on my energy bills.

What's the legality of growing over in Jamaica? You got anything in the pipeline musically?

yeh mon, irie and all that good stuff lol Think it's spelt Grants Pen but close enough for sure. I'll keep you updated on how I get on. Doing one of the first indoor grow ops out here!!

Truly awesome! Keep up the grow!

Hi there. I'm on day 41 of my first grow. 4 candy cane autos. I have a 2x4x5 tent with a 600W hps.
I put mine straight under. After germination. It was probably too intense for the first little while. The first 2-3 weeks will seem slow no matter what because it's all happening underneath the surface.
Keep in mind that heat can become an issue if your reflector is not air cooled. I had a wing and had to swap it out for a cool tube. Not ideal but for whatever I lose in light I gain in temp control.
Chef.

Hey Sick, I know you're kinda new but I'm interested in your perpetual grow. Are you cloning yet? What's your timing as far as starting from clone/seed and then veg, flower?

Perpetual autos right at the minute mate, but I'll be growing out some photos soon looking for strong mothers, and start running clones instead.

My old tent will actually fit inside my new tent (it's far too big, I could sleep in there!!) and only take up a sixth of the floor space, so I could keep a couple of sexy milfs in there, clones out front, start one /chop one one every month or so.

Oh right not long to go! I'm also having the drama of deciding between a cool tube light or an open reflector but the heat out here in Jamaica is no joke!! it's hot without a light so thinking cool tube would be better. Wish you a happy harvest!!

Congrats on the nationwide commercial dude. We vacationed on St Thomas in 2014 - now I know what my girls feel like, when the light is too close!! You folks know what direct sunlight is.
I'd agree with the cooltube - unless you are rocking some major cooling, take that heat outta there.

Yeh Exactly bro!!

I run a 4x5 grow tent , 2 400w hid , 220 Cali works solar flare , and a 50w led , I put mine straight under the 400 hid and leds , now for the first 3 days I kept my lights high roughly 3 foot LEDs can be lil closer , then I lowered down to 18 inchs and there 22 days today and showed sex ... So if u keep ur heat down which my light at 3 foot high was puttin heat off at bout 77 degrees when I got it down to 18-19inchs I'm hitin 80-81 . My autos took fine to the light ... My oppion I like keepin my lights higher then most , I like to allow a small stretch over just plus bush , first pic is like day 5 to 7 or something like that , then the next is day 22 ... Idk if uve messed with autos but there will be small slow growth till that tap hits the bottom then just crazy noticable growth each day .

Oh right your set up great!! Thanks for your response! I'm gonna put them under the hps at 250w and dial it up to 600w over next couple weeks and see how that goes.

Hey thanks to everybody for there answers you've been very helpful I've got a 600 w dimmable ballast from omega do I'm go put my girl under the hps at 250w and work my way up to 600w.

Starting with what? Seed, seedling, clone, etc?

Congrats on the purchase

 

[Aynzli Jones]

I'll be running a 600w HPS in my 4x4 tent and have a dimmable ballast (250w, 400w, 600w + Superlumans)

I've been adviced to do 250w first week, then 400w next week - 10 days and 600w the rest of the grow.

Got an aircooled hood so what would be my starting height for the light, 30 inches?

Got a dimmable ballast so gonna do just that, there under the 250w and I'll move it up next week I've got my plants 2ft away so let's see how they like it

Growing seeds of Auto Lemon OG Haze and Master Kush, soon to add Afghan cow and Pineapple chunk to the mix!

Hooked up my 400w hps at 24" yesterday. Green Crack is 3 weeks, Chemdawg Auto is only 2 weeks old and seem to be doing good so far! Temps in the high 70s but I'm working on that.
