Hey RIU community happy to be posting on my "First" ever grow of anything I might add. Okay so I have been researching for some time now and finally decided to pull the trigger and start growing for my own personal use.

Light Source: 600w Platinum LED 12-Band
Grow Medium: FoxFarm Ocean Forest
Nutes: FoxFarm Dirty Dozen

Ok so being as I'm a total newb I have some questions for you guys, so Ive included a few pictures, my questions are:
1.This Lemon OG Auto broke ground on Saturday 9/26/2015 does his growth look stunted to you?
2.With Autos and LED lights do you run VEG light entire grow? Flower light entire grow? or VEG until Flowering then switch to Flower light?
3.Will 600w light be okay for young seedlings if placed at the proper distance or is it too intense for just starting out younger plants?

Any help, thoughts, ideas and or insight would be greatly appreciated. IMG_0860.jpgIMG_0856.jpg IMG_0854.jpg IMG_0855.jpg

I'd grab a few smart pots off eBay. Let those starter pots dry out a bit then very carefully transplant as soon as possible. With the smart pots you decrease your chances of over watering. My autos grow great in the five gallon ones from seed to finish. Also, I doubt you'll have enough light or enough room for all three of those in that tent.

I'm serious. Just trying to help you out. Those five gallon smart pots work great. I grow bushes and I only have room for one full bush in a 3X3. I learned the hard way that I'd rather one one awesome plant than 2 or 3 mediocre ones that's why I was saying you might be hurting for room in a month or so. You already popped them so go with it now and see how it pans out.

I saw that you use organic nutes...fox farm brand...I hope we will have some in EU...maybe in the future...!
How much did you paid for the 12 bottles?
I saw gh Ph+ and Ph- and I would not use it with organic nutes...if I remember well it kill the fungus who help roots...which one do you use?+or-?
If it -.try lemon juice instead...
Have a great day ★

Hey man I just wanted to let you know I just bought one p450 for a closet and am about to purchase 4 p600's for a 4x8 next week. I'll be following your work closely. I'm also using the same grow medium as you except I'm adding just a little FF Light Warrior to it. A 3:1 ratio amd a tablespoon of dolomite per gallon of soil. Also, use your veg light 18/6 or 20/4 at first imo although I know some who run 24/0. Once flowering begins, use both veg and bloom switches for best results, however I have seen people flower autoflowering strains in veg mode only and get beautiful buds but I'd definitely use veg and bloom for best results.

With all the threads and posts who said that Pled is too expensive for cheap led...there's peoples who still want to buy some...
I can't believe that...i understand it since a while now...and English is not my first language!
Or maybe there is hundreds of diyers who are wrong...
Or maybe you have too much money and want to throw some by your windows...!
Have a great day ★

the guys using doc bud's kit along with all the Pled you can afford are doing pretty good. Consider checking into that for next time. Def more science and quality control than FF guess work.
