Hey all. Gonna try to grow an auto cheese a buddy gave me. Never grown autos before and some stuff I'm reading is worrying me. Hope to get some auto vets to help me.
Gonna use promix(moisture) with some of my "super soil" and organic nutes(Teas). SF1000 and ~3 gallon pot.
More to come...
Those mars and SF "1000" lights are really good for 150w lights. I've seen someone pull 135g worth of nug and 30g worth of popcorn under a single TS1000 in 80 day with a big Bud Auto.
I'm growing my first auto right now as well, a fat monkey auto from SAG. You should get better results as I'm using one of the EU mars TS600 lights, which is in fact 85w, not 100w, and it's looking really good.
Try not to fall for all the fear mongering that you have to baby autos, just use common sense and gauge the plant.. for example people say you can't top, crop or stress them, but I lived with a dude that supercropped all his autos, topped them twice in the first three weeks on every grow for years, and regularly pulled 150g a plant under a 200w led.
I have topped my fat monkey twice in a week, and it's doubled in size in a week. I've purposely done everything wrong, but it's still right. HST, Fimmed once, Topped once more, no ph monitoring, no nutes, tap water and bad temps/humidity and a terrible light in the Grand scheme of things.
There is 8 days between these two pics. Just have fun while your at it.
