Hi

I have done a couple successful grows indoors in the past but have a baby now and my partners is too paranoid to let me continue. I've read loads about these AF plants that only grow up to 2ft and I can persuade her into these (also I think I could stick em out in the back yard if my flat was gonna be invaded by her family etc).

I have a space approx 3ftx3ft and 3.5ft high.
I currently have all the necessary white mylar and have a 400w HPS/MH set up (is this too powerful now? -if so, I will get flouros but how much is the minimum i need in W)
Are the yields worth the hassle if I get 5 plants up in this space

I am hoping to get AF Hindu Kush unless you have any other suggestions


Any help is appreciated even if I haven't mentioned something here coz I am still a beginner (although understand the basics of feed, medium, lumens etc)

Thanks guys and girls

IMO, autos are always worth the 'hassle' dank weed and they're incredibly easy to grow.

400W too powerful? 5 autos will freakin love it, enjoy the Kush!

nice!!! thanks, so what would you expect as min yield from 5 hindus in the 3x3x3.5 space. My last grow was in a 1m x 1m Bud Box and I had 9 Lemon Skunks (normal strain) I only got about 5oz of good dry stuff.

Min yield at least 4-5 oz off 5 plants..More if you grow em well.. I got 2 x Lowryders #2's nearly finished in a grow tent under a 400W HPS & I reckon at least 3oz off the two..

Check my Journal I have lots of info there & tons of pics.. They are about 2ft tall at their peak - They have been on 18/6 for the entire grow, took about 5/6 weeks to bud up will chop after 9 weeks from germination

Good question.. as they are not photo dependant I would assume that it wouldn't hurt them as much as a regular MJ strain that flowers 12/12, I would make sure the grow area is light proof just to be on the safe side though..

I have read up some more and I think you can do 24hour light with AF. Its actually the normal seeds you can do 12/12 from seed ina very small grow box
