Ya let me know please. I usually use 5,7,10 even 12 gal. But since switching up my program im getting nice buds on 3gal. Im gonna chop in ~2-3 weeks we can compare notes.

Ill put up a pic of my 3gal.
OP sorry to hijack

@hotrodharley i did top this girl a few times, but for me
this is pretty great for a 3 gal. especially since the lady isnt a huge yielder.

Read the bold print.
Your going to need at least another of those lights to properly light a 4x4 space.
Though you can veg with it fine its not really enough to provide enough light to your space when its full and form fully dense buds.
Now would be a good time to add more light to make sure you get the best from your plants.
You seem like an expert. :) I need some recommendation. I found some options at amazon. Are they good choice for me?
(Max budget 300$) Or do you have any other advice for light. I m very greatful for help.

Add that to your existing light.

Your better off with this than either of those other lights.

Hello. I have new questions for my grow:)

1. I used bottled water for plants until now. They are drinking 10 liter everyday. If i go on with tap water can it cause any problem? There is my city tap waters analysises on attachment. Average 25 ppm chlorin and sulphate 90 ppm calcium. I searched but couldnt find any technic informations about tolerances. What do you think about these tap waters?


2. There is little bud on the stem on attached photo. It is very far away from light and under the other stems and leaves.. Should i cut this or its late for cutting? It wont getting fat and become a nice bud in my opinion. 49590511-e9cc-4d73-b5eb-346361762db2.jpg

Thank you. I couldnt reach quantum boards because of shipping issues and went for Hps for enough light.

Plants are getting ready to harvest. I think last 2-3 week for 3 feminised plant. Autoflower one still have way to go. I overwatered autoflower in early veg and she had trouble to become healty again. But still i dont have much clue about why she become ripen so late; although breeder says germination to harvest 8 weeks, she only have small pistils on week 11 . Tent set up and week 11 photos are on attachment. Thanks for comments and advices.

They look healty. My only concern is yield now. Buds seem very loose and low quantity. I didnt know anything about topping, fimming or training technics. I think i failed a lot at veg stage. I will use technics next time to better plants.
They will pack out and firm up over next few weeks. The extra light obviously would of helped a bit earlier but it is what it is.
Its all a learning experience. :bigjoint:

I have never had a single auto finish within the advertised time. I’ve got 4 outside right now in the Alaska sun which is down to only 20 hours and they’re just forming actual buds. Just started in the last few days. I have to finish them indoors under lights every fall. These emerged as seedlings in mid-May.

These are the last autos for me.
If you have any auto beans you wanna get rid of just let me know lol. I'm trying to collect as many as I can to start breeding auto fem crosses this next year or so.

This is a first for me. First time not topping. First time little container. I’ll let you know fairly soon the yields. View attachment 4366655

I couldn’t get far away enough to show the whole thing but this one runs from my elbow to where you see it. They definitely have had to be supported.
just cruising around the website and came across your plants. those are beautifully big buds!

My neighbor was the breeder for autos. Extremely intelligent man who ended up going to work for the USPS. Financial security for the family. He left the cannabis industry. The 2 strains outside right now are from the last of the seeds he produced.

I was pretty sad. His Bering Sea Blues was one of the best tasting and smelling strains I’ve ever grown. And my friends here agreed. His Sweet Tooth autos too. His method of growing was pretty unique using 5 gallon buckets. The way he layered the medium etc.

I've heard you talk about this before. His method of growing that is. It seemed pretty sensible.

Buckets with perlite about 6”. Plenty of holes but not on the bottom. Only on the sides up a couple of inches. Organic potting soil with a Jobes organic fertilizer spike. About 6”. A little more perlite and repeat. He grew some whoppers. I watched his homestead while he had surgery. He came by with a garbage bag of untrimmed bud as a gift. Apologized for not trimming it!
