Thanks alot man. Yeah....got 1 room to grow...cant split it. And I know Autos dont like 12/12 but they will have to go in with my Widows when they done stretching. The Widows are 1 week into 12/12.....so when the cycle goes off I move the autos under a 5000lmn cfl. So Im trying to get them all in together when and if I can. Heres some a pic of my Widows. Pls remember this is my 1st grow...so I dont know what Im doing. But Im doing...hehehe

Did alot of topping, lst and supercropping when they were still babies. Paid off because I count over 20 bud sites. Hope I get it right man.

I've flowered many auto's under 12/12 with no issue, but topping, lst, supercropping them was a fail for me, always saw more produce leaving them untrained(autos)

Look the topping, lst and pinching worked like magic on my normal Photo Widows. Only slightly bent over my two Autos. Got 7 main bud sites covered in Pistils.

All those techniques are great. Using all of them at once....not so great. Unless you have one hell of a root system in a large pot. Ive just seen diminished cola sizes in plants that get trained too much.

Thanx alot for the feedback bro. Look.....I only did some LST on the Autos....its working realy well....many bud sites. They are already getting fat lil buds. But I did all the rest to my Widows and gave them good recovery time in veg. Switched to HPS today. But again many strong colas are coming...I can see it.

Hope so man. At this stage I am happy they are even still living. Now I just hope the buds come.

Hey guys and girls. Got these 34 day old autos under 24/0 400w mh. Look at these pics and tell me from your experience....is it time to change to HPS yet? And should I be changing my nutes from 3:1:6 yet?
If you want to reduce stretch leave in the mh till they start flowering more. If youve got the space nows a good time to switch.

there is no time to change lights. your mh will flower these nicely, and so will your hps. the best expressions could be found combining both lights and either will do the job. switch now, or not.
Its also true both is best but if only one hps is better for the full cycle than mh and much better for flowering

Lol just realized how late i am but still good future info to have
