My first attempt was a total flop. Misunderstanding VPD , feedings, watering, lighting . Almost everything I could have failed to understand I did . Needless to say I killed three plants and have came back with 6 healthy ones from seed.
I'm on day 18 . All of these sprouted on the same day . The plants remaining in the tent will be gifted away. As I do not have the space. I didn't expect to go this far LOL! My last run took 6 weeks to get to where I'm at now . I can certainly say Im doing something right this round . I've got autos on the right and photos on the left. If I make it to flower . I'll update with strain names ECT.2025-02-23 (4).jpg

Good luck. Not a huge fan of combining the two as putting autos on 12 hours will limit their growth/bud density profiles. They need more light than that on their limited life cycle to get the best out of them. My 2 cents anyway. If you’re giving stuff away, I might consider giving the autos to someone who can keep them on 18 plus and share the fruits with you. It’s all learning anyway, good luck.

I'm on the other fence and have never grown an Auto under 18/6 and they've yielded about what you would expect. They will finish earlier and yield less but not to that great extent.

Since hes's running more plants under a small footprint I see mostly benefits with running them under 12/12. Especially since OP's main goal seem to be to finish and make it all the way through flower?

That's what we always did with all the Auto freebies, we had some early smoke before the photos were done.

Cheers!

Gem you going all organic with the foop? I saw in your journal you bought a kit.

All organic , FFOF and FFHF, only used the foop in one of the fabric pots . I have Gaia Green organic dry amendments to recharge the soil when need be

Super. Love the foop results but too expensive. It is going to add $24 per plant costs. I did get a gallon kit but that's what lowered it to 24.

Gunna watch and see if this does as well. From what I read it is a great product.

Yeah the price is why I only used it on one plant . I thought it'd be worth a try tho. We should see the comparison in a couple weeks
 
I noticed pistols shooting on day 21. Or flowers have start d on both autos . Bout 4 to 6 weeks left on the bottom right .
