I have only grown one auto to date. In the end, my auto yielded as much as photoperiods I've grown. I do grow autos in ffof with 20/4 light, in 5 gallon pots. Potency was also as good as my last photoperiod plant (bubblicious). Interesting point on tbe double wear and tear on equipment growing...
So, are most auto a month to veg and show sex. Then an additional 8 weeks for flowering, total approx 3 months till harvest. Or are there some faster ones out there?
Ok I know how they always make false claims on any strains harvest time. I am looking for some fast autos?
For example I was looking at a strain called Wipeout. It claims to be ready for harvest 8 weeks from germination! So how is that remotely possible? If an auto has to veg for nearly 4 weeks...
Yes Sage, it is actually doing well under a H350 Purple, along with a nice oregano bush, and a small rosemary. I also have three medium tomato plants under the same light. They dont seem to like the cold temps (garage) like the herbs do :-(
I have my whole edible garden under one Deep Purple Kessil H350, and everything is thriving! 3 tomato plants, 1 oregano, 1 rosemary, 1 sage, and a couple seedlings. Just incase you thought they were only good for growing bud.
I usually grow autos in fox farm ocean forest mixed with 35 percent perlite. I do not start nutrients until the plant shows sex. When it does, I go straight into the bloom nutrients. I use iguana juice bloom which is organic. Starting at 1/4 strength and gradually working my way up to 3/4...
I have to agree the red is a cool light and intense. I cant see using it though, until I flower in a few weeks. I will also use it on some tomatoes I am vegging. I dont see why folks gotta hate on Kessil so bad. All I hear is price, price, price. Or I hear wattage is low. But I laugh cause all...
Kessil is becoming more affordable. An H350 magenta is the first investment Id make. That way you get more flowering specific watts. Then you can tailor your rig with H150's. Magenta and Purple H150 can be had new for $100 on growers house!
What blueberry strain are you growing? Mine was Dutch Passion. I am also sitting on a Nirvana Feminised white widow bean from my last order. Gonna wait till I move to my new place before I grow it. I dont have pics of the Blueberry grow. I got paranoid (happens smoking weed) and erased all pics...
Mohican, sorry to hear you are having problems with the spinner. I really like the spectral carrier instead. It has storage for 4 power supplies and cords right in the hood. Of course you have to find other options for mounting the H150's as it is only designed for 4 H350's.
My LED UFO was one of those 135 watt ones off Ebay. It was a great entry level LED :-) When I got the Kessil (H350M) I realized that the intensity was better and penetration into the plant. I guess because the kessils are set up more like spot lights. As soon as I saw the growth, I got a second...
I agree the H350 would be an excellent choice for someone buying a single Kessil. A magenta is a great choice for MJ blooming. My first LED was actually a UFO, which I did get fair results from. However when I replaced it with the H350 there was no looking back. My ultimate goal will be two more...
Mohican, awesome job. Those plants look very dark green and healthy under the Kessils. I use cfl's to raise up sprouts. When They are a couple weeks old I move them under the H350 Purple. Then after a month I add the H350 Magenta. I am expanding my setup now with a red H150 arriving this week. I...
Mohican great to see someone doing a Kessil only grow like me. I currently have a deep purple 350 and a Magenta 350. I also have a red 150 on the way. I hope that you can show more of the plants growth in your future posts. Although the gear and spinner is nice. I am going to add a regular...
