I will also say that I grow organic. I'm not saying you have to go that way. I just prefer organic bud. I have a worm bin and compost pile. I got all the chicken and cow manure I would ever want.

If you need synthetics I am a fan of dynagrow. For $20 or less you get a sample pack from them. It comes with a quart of foliage pro 9-3-6, a quart of protekt (silica), a pint of bloom, pint of mag pro and pint of rooting solution. The foliage pro is geared towards cannabis they just didn't want it labeled as such.
I got the kind samples for 12 bucks shipped.

I got this pack free from rxgreensolutions. They advertise here. I had to email a couple people in their company before I got them free.

The dynagro sample kit will last you a long time if growing a couple plants at a time.

I spent a couple days emailing nutrient companies and you would be surprised at the free or cheap stuff you can get. All that is needed is a little time and effort.

I agree with you there I'm all organic as well I'm a lil simpler tho all I use is bat guana, ewc, molasses, and kelp meal. I don't add anything else to my grow and I make compost tea at least once a week. Also the heat won't be a problem for me it will be in an open space with plenty of air flow.

An open space is perfect. Its getting cooler outside and you could probably close the vent to the room and run them in the 70 degree range.

Simpler can be better.

Mine is not real complicated. I compost leaves and manure from our chicken and cows along with stalks and stuff from the garden.

I have a simple worm bin. I built a flow through one like the worm farm. I went back to a 55 gallon drum in half.

I like kelp. Do you use a liquid or meal? I use the dry Espoma brand kelp. I like it pretty good. I use a little alfalfa to.

Here is everything I use some of the stuff I no longer use tho BC it's not organic I just started very small about a year ago with 4 plants under 3 cfl lmfao yes I know its funny to think that I thought it would power 4 plants. But I have slowly gotten more lights more fans and adjusted my feeding the only thing I still wanna tweak will be adding things to my tea like alfalfa and ive heard of one other thing but can't remember

That will work. Good stuff. If you ever use alfalfa don't use a lot. It looks like the kelp. Its not bad or anything. It has something in it if you use too much it promotes more leaf growth o n buds.

Oh, I forgot. When that t5 comes in it has two switches. Start out with four bulbs for a while. I read where you can get t5 within inches. That may be true for single bulbs or the 2 foot ones. Its not for the 8 bulb. Lol. I fried some plants.

Start it 18 inches to two foot above them and lower it over a few days. When you flip the other four bulbs on raise it back up a little for a day or two.

Once they adjust to that much light, I run mine about 8-10 inches from the canopy. Keep an eye out for bleaching spots.

Rx green solutions is the real deal, I ran that one my first few grows and love it. But, I'm trying my hand at organic now. Will still use rx after I finish with my next three runs of organic.

If I don't fly imma die anyway

An auto won't show sex, they're female.
Personally I wouldn't train because they're already on a short life span, although there's guys on here that have great results via training autos.

Look into a HPS or a LED.
Pick up a HPS for around 50-70 quid on eBay.
CFL is ok, but its a kids light.

Not all autos are feminised, most are but you can find a few regular auto flowering seeds, joint doctor does regular lowryders

The model we have the bulbs are two together. Other 8 bulb models are twice as wide.

Being so close it concentrates the light. As the bulb shines its light think of is a circle around the bulb. The distance the light travels. Its foot print. Each bulb is 5,000 lumens. So we figure 40,000 lumens for the whole fixture. That only hold true where the light from each bulb overlaps.
