Why would your target be the max the plants can tolerate? If you knew that and you accepted that, you would get a crappy yield. If your goal is to keep plants barely alive, that's what you'll have - barely alive plants, not worth the effort.

Curing is everything. To do it right, you need a small hygrometer (or several). The Caliber III can be had on ebay for under $20. These measure humidity. You put it in a jar sealed with buds and it tells you where they are with humidity. That is important because curing happens between 55 and...

I'd call botanicare and ask them. I'd also consider a new nute made for hydro and follow their feeding schedule. BUT, I'm sure that by starting slow and listening to the plants, you will do fine.

It depends 0on how you define final product. If you mean right after it is cut, or even after it is dried, it doesn't matter. Cure it correctly and long enough, and it won't matter a whit what nutrients you used, whether you flushed at the end, or anything else.

...............No.

I disagree. Some light makes no difference. You just want to avoid direct light, and especially intense light like from grow lights or sunlight. More important than drying really, is the curing process. Most growers don't have the patience to do it right.

When does any flower stop growing?

That's too small for 3 plants. Here's a pic of one plant in a res larger than that and it isn't finished. How will you grow 3?

Autoflower = low yield That's the tradeoff, although I don't see much upside. Why do you think you want autos?

The biggest problem with closets is heat control. Plan now to have a lot of AC in the room the closet is in.

Strive for simplicity - ask questions - learn - improve - ask questions - learn - improve rinse and repeat

Why autoflowers?

Depending on how hot it is, a bottle of ice won't last an hour let alone 12. Plus you don't want the res temp up in dark time either.

Newbies should consider the cheap rout to start for several reasons not mentioned. One - the learning what you want from your first grow and two - you WILL change systems several times in your first couple years, so may as well make them low investment from the start.

Those estimates are always short. Plan 9 weeks for an Indica. Look at trichs under high magnification. Another way is to watch for flower growth. They grow a lot toward the end, and when they stop - harvest time is near. I agree you have 2 weeks.

Hydroponics is anything other than soil. Both flood and drain, and dwc are hydroponic.

I buy reg h2o2 3% for 88 cents a quart. I use 1/3 cup per 6 gal of water, and do so at least twice a week. Maybe if you are treating 200 gal of water the higher concentrations make sense.

That's too hot and as a former closet grower, I can tell you the solution is lots of AC in the room the closet is in. Measure temps at the top of the foliage, but that is a combination of radiant and ambient temp. Then measure several places around the closet that are not in direct light, that...

I'm in Ohio, and I only grow in months with names containing an R.

Don't count on autos staying small. The yield will be small but the plant may not. I agree, make your own res, one plant per bucket.
