first grow

I mean...if you have a black out..you'll be ok..it's interrupting dark that's the problem...
if you have a blackout for too long with auto's or photo's your fawked...
I don't agree with your reasoning...although I would imagine photo's herm easier based on light issues....
both will herm if not harvested i believe....

That's called rodelization, NOT "herming" it is a panic state caused by lack of pollination. She is trying to save her genetic line. Very few if any won't rodelize given long enough.

Looks like poor genetics imo, it doesn't have anything to do with the folgers pot you're using or it being an auto! That thing looks like a lowrider from 2010. Mephisto, roc bud and others are putting out quality auto genetics and I suggest you look there first if you continue down the autoflower path. Sorry I couldn't help you because your plant looks ok aside from being a runt. Good luck

i grew alot of joint drs early autos

I think you are right, i have a 600 watt LED but only draws 125 w, I think I need double that or more for 40 cubic ft.

A 3x3 grow space is 9 sq.ft. of growing area. Recommendations are usually 35w-50w per sq.ft. You should be aiming for 315w-450w of light being draw from the wall to properly cover the space.

mine's 5x2 but I added a partition and cut the floor space to 3x2, so I need at least another 175 actual watts, so hard to find LEDs with actual wattage that are affordable. Even "2000 watt" LEDs only draw 100 to 220 actual watts. it's frustrating

Do some reading in the lighting section. Tons of great info in there. And create a post if you need help.

Any reason to go LED instead of say HPS? You could get an HID light that would be quality lighting and easily cover your space for cheap compared to a quality LED light.

From what I understand...a GOOD...and I mean I good LED light has a spectrum akin to natural sunlight, and additional red LEDs for flowering. A good LED (and this is my understanding which is why I choose it) has better light penetration and per watt can have as good or better results as HID/HPS combo...I could be wrong but this was my understanding....

Just ordered another light that runs at 280 actual watts add that to the one that runs 125 and I will have around 400 actual watts, that should do it right?
