Thanks for the advice. I won't be changing the lighting time anyway. Just the bulb to an hps. Would u suggest waiting on the hps for a while or since the light schedule won't change regardless or go ahead and pick up the new bulb and start them on the flowering spectrum?

Are you vegging in MH ??? sorry if you already said that
I personally would veg until they show sex, and if they already have, wait for them to get taller...or in your case wider. IMO vegging for too long is a hard thing to do and usually
only makes her more mature and ready for nice big colas.

When I used a 400 for Veg, I would always use it at least the first week into flower, sometimes first two, to reduce node spacing with the stretch. Not sure if Auto's stretch at all?

Hey trees me up, this is my first look @ ur thread, but im about to do my first grow in a 5x5x84 inch tent, thinking vegging 6-8 plants with a 600W MH and flower with a 600W HPS as the kit comes with both bulbs lol. but your autos look really healthy man good stuff. im gonna try and mimick the soil as it seems to be working pretty good and 100% germ rate is awesome.how did you germ just threw em in soil and kept em moist or paper towel or cup of water method? bout to buy a 10 pack of seeds id be real happy with 80% germ rate. you gonna use any other nutes during the grow or just the soil? ill be following along man and taking a look as i will be running into the same good/bad days that you will soon lol.

Man i just threw them I'm the soil and kept it moist. As far as nutes go i plan on just waiting and supplementing with a tea if i feel it necessary. I really am just playing the nutrients by ear. I will just try and keep them healthy and learn what i can along the way for next time.

That's probably a gOod idea. I will do some more research today and figure out a plan of attack on the feeding schedule. If anyone has a good organic tea recipe that has gotten good results with an auto and would like to save me some time and effort researching I would appreciate it.

well luckily I have a close friend that is going to run me through his recipe in the next week or so but i will update when that happens. Right now though they look happy so I will continue with water only for now. A fan, filter, and speed controller are on the way here now. should be about a week. Also some soil additives (for my next grow), blackstrap molasses and some sea kelp extract for my tea. I think i will probably use some sea kelp, molasses, EWC, FFOF and I know there will be other things that I will put in the tea but basically I will put all the ingredients in a panty hose, tie it off, drop it in a water jug and airiate for 48hrs or so. Please correct me if I'm way off on how I should go about doing this but this is what I understood.
