You are most welcome. Good luck with your grow :bigjoint: :bigjoint: :bigjoint: :bigjoint::bigjoint::bigjoint:

OP, I don't mean to come across as an expert because I'm not. I learn new stuff everyday. One of the most important lessons I learned was to leave the plants alone as much as possible. The more we try to interact with them the more we screw them up...especially when starting off. Here is...

I use tap water. I'm not sure what the PH is.

Not to be a smartass...but you need to realize that plants "feed" through photosynthesis. Nutrients are like a daily vitamin that we take. They aren't the food source. That being said I use nutrients...but I'm 57 and I've been growing since 1984. I screwed up many a grow with nutes until I...

You are most welcome. You'll be surprised by how well an auto with do in FFOF with no nutes at all. In coco you need it for sure. Best of luck :bigjoint::bigjoint:

If you are in the US and are looking at HP/MH for that size space, you will likely require 220V wiring. In other words I would look at the wiring and work backwards from there.

Thanks. It seems that the OP needs a more basic approach to get the basics down first.

To the OP...your first mistake is taking advice from other novices who are only offering bro-science and bad advice. An awful lot of "advice" I read here is nonsense and internet myth. Keep it simple. Start a seedling off in light-mix in a solo cup and a CFL like 6" away. A little seedling...

The thread seems to be for growers who like autos and want to know how to get good seeds. If autos aren't for you there are plenty of threads about photos. I think Dinafem auto and Mephisto put out seeds that quite honestly beat the pants off a lot of photos. BTW, Mephisto's business...

There are no absolutes. I've encountered bad photo seeds and great auto seeds. I like what this guy has to say.

You should start an auto seed in a solo cup under a CFL. I use Biobiz light mix and then FFOF when I transplant. You shouldn't give it anything but water until 3-4 weeks after sprout.

Nutrients are like vitamins. The plant "feeds" mostly through photosynthesis. I think that is where a lot of new growers have a false understanding of the role that nutes play in the overall picture. You can grow very good pot with no nutes at all. I would get a successful grow under my belt...

GSC 1 week of flower.

I do both also. Auto seed companies aren't any more or less reliable than photo seeds. I've seen plenty of photos that were junk...ILGM comes to mind. I like autos also because I'm done in 75 days and pulling at least 3 to 4ozs from each plant...which is plenty for my needs. I do like photos...

Go for it. You won't be disappointed. :bigjoint::bigjoint:

Dinafem Bubba Kush Auto 10 weeks from seed.

Dinafem White Widow Auto at 10 weeks from seed.

Keeping busy and trying to stay out of trouble :bigjoint::bigjoint:

Dinafem WW is probably the most bullet proof and predictable Auto I have grown. One of the best smokes too.

I upped the GoBox "grow" formula and CalMag to full dose until end of stretch. I take a tape measure to the plants each day. When stretch stops I flush and then start with the "flowering" formula.
