I've been growing just over a year. Northern Lights autos from ILGM.

3-gallon fabric pots, Ocean Forest/perlite soil, Fox Farm nutrients trio, CalMag, pH 6.5, 18/6 LED lights, Exhale CO2 generator. This grow I started unsulfured molasses halfway through. LST with scrog net.

Bud sizes are pathetic. I just harvested 2 plants and got a whopping 2 quart jars. I didn't even weigh wet this time because I was so disgusted. I freeze dry, so I ended up with 10g after drying. Ten grams!

Is there any more info I need to provide. Someone just told me on FB he gets 1 pound per auto plant!

Go with 5 or even 7gal pots if you're growing in soil. Increase your veg time, go 60-90 days veg then flip.

If you switch to coco, 3gal pots are actually pretty sweet, I've gotten as much as 5oz off a single autoflower plant, somewhere in the 100-110 day window if i remember correctly.

Light is RAW 130. I water when the pots are light. Turned out to be every 3 days. I use 2 gallons for 4 plants. What do you mean didn't fill out space?

This was my 5th grow. All of the grows went to flower at 4.5 weeks. That's when I switch nutes from Gro-Big to Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom.
Does that sound right?

The trichomes were cloudy and amber so I harvested. Man I need some education.
That was 10 weeks from germination. I also thought the yellowing was normal end-of-life cycle yellowing.
