Here is my set up. 5 x 5 with 8 inch Infinity inline venting outdoors. 730 wall watts LED. I am running 6 Mephisto Forum Stompers that is forum cut GSC x Sour Stomper. Also 1 Twenty20 Mendocino Cosmo and that is Biscauto x Whiskey Zulu. My organic soil is FFOF with 30 % coarse perlite. Germinated my beans on 1/27/23. Went to soil 1/29/23. Popped soil on 1/31/23. Water only at this point. I'm going to attempt to keep this post updated. Never ran auto so there are no guarantees.

Ok day 21, and I will be moving from a 24 on light schedule to allow for some rest time. The schedule will go to 20 on and 4 off. Did a top dress yesterday with FFOF and ewc. Have yet to water it in as the last 3/4 gallon I watered 4 days ago still needs a day before they are ready. Have started leaf tucking and took a few 10-12 leafs off when top dressed yesterday. The first 2 pics are from week 2, the rest from today. Day 21

First pic shows I let them dry out to show how far they go in between watering. They bounce right back. Some claim it stresses the plants in a good way.

Looking good. Don’t let them dry too much as the beneficial bacteria can suffer
I think I may be learning this the hard way at the moment lol

I like to let the soil dry down before I do a recharge. In two weeks they will not look the same as Monday they hit week 5/stretch/flower. It's going to be a busy two weeks.

It's been a few years for me but hps was on top then. Are the LEDs really worth the money today? If so I've been looking at a medic grow 1000 watts from the wall and saw good reviews on coco grow. What you think?
