But, since auto's finish 1st, what about humidity and heat levels?

I have separate lights, but how do I get them to transition well to different Humidity levels at same time?

For example, my photo needs 65% humidity, but the auto's would prefer and do better at 40-50% humidity and temperature etc.

In my culture, I don't care about humidity, it's stable at 50%. If I don't have enough, I spray water on the growing plants every day. I don't really pay attention to that. Afterwards, you can add separate air extractors or an air extractor powerful enough to manage your two cultures while maintaining your humidity at 50% and acceptable heat.

to see if the farmer friends have other ideas

I WANT TO GROW 3 AUTO'S AND 1 BIG PHOTO, THE PHOTOPERIOD BEING DOWN BELOW.

perhaps 2 or 3 more Smaller autos.

I think 6-7 can happen.

Can you guys help me pls?

Oh, coincidentally my light is running at full strength tonight.

Hey sssg, I don't know how many amps you are pulling, but that's prolly only a 15 amp circuit. It looks like you might have that outlet a bit overloaded. If possible, you could run a heavy duty extension from a different outlet (preferably on a separate circuit) to carry part of the load. With a 20% safety margin, you can only run 12 amps on a 15 amp circuit, continuously (if that's what you have there)

 

[figolus]

Yeah there's an issue, how can I time it so the auto's still get what they need without interrupting the photos?

Should I just veg the Photoperiods longer?

You use programmers that you place on your electrical outlets. For example, on the lower floor, you will have the photoperiodic and autoflowers in 18/6. When you want to switch the photoperiodic to 12/12, you will change their position by putting them on the first floor with a second programmer in 12/12.

I was talking about separating the plants. For when the photoperiodic ones go to 12/12, so that the autos stay in 18/6. After in 18/6 the two can stay together .... my fault I should have specified

I would have to separate the sections BETTER, so that light doesn't affect the photos?

Actually only using about 500 watts, currently, the heater bumps it up to 1000.

But yeah I thought about that.

I have these already, wifi controllers.

Set-up with Google Home

the sections must be impervious to light, the light from the bottom must not be visible from the top and vice versa

Hmmm I think then it's best to keep the photo in veg until the auto's are done.

After that it takes a little work, but by using a thick black tarp you can insulate both parts from the light.

let the autos start flowering at 18/6 while the phto keeps vegging., then flip the photo to 12/12 when you think the time and size is right.


Autos will finish flowering as good or BETTER with th second half of flower under 12/12. It benefits their structure a lot, and actually increases yield because you can expose them to more intense light without causing burn

stack the autos up on books or dvd cases to keep their height matched with the photo.


@capone304 is someone ive had do this a few times with fantastic results. The owner of the seedbank hes getting his autos from keep getting his mind blown by his autos now lol. One of his 12/12 autos just won POTM actually.

Hmmm, how can I separate the light but use the same airflow and humidity, heat, circulation etc?

WOW REALLY
?

so 12/12 actually benefits auto at the end?

with most yes, it actually does lol. And i recommend auto growers try finishing the last half of flowering at 12/12 a lot, and so far very single person whos done it has been blown away.

Drop to 12/12, and raise light intensity by 30-40% and run it

This is 100% correct I flower my autos with my photos on 12/12 and Ive grown two of the biggest frostiest autos the genetics companies have seen and not small companies either both of them have used my pictures on sales pages u can go check em out strawberry gorilla 420 fast buds it also won may picture of the month here on this site and gorilla pie smoking monkey genetics he is absolutely correct what he's saying here

 

[capone304]

And he also is the one that convinced me to do so

With this

 

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

If an auto grower tells you that doesnt work that way, its because they havent done it. If they have, they wouldnt do anything but agree with me.


^truth^

i did it once because i had no choice with some, had too many, and they all finished twice the size and higher quality then the 18/6 ones. Sooner too.

the fact no one knows this, just makes me think no ones bothered to even try lmfao.

 

[capone304]

I've did it both ways let em get established in flower n flip em to 12/12 the bugs get bigger and denser on 12/12 and it's way less stress on the autos autos do t like as much light as people think when they flower em on 18-20 hours they get big fluffy as nugs that have no weight

 

[capone304]

It's like that old saying once u go 12/12 you'll NVR go back
