Here is my very recent experience with auto's, soil, and lights. My first try was with a White Widow and a ChemBubbly. I used a very basic soil from home depot. Very little nutrients. No bacteria. 1 200w LED and 1 350w purplish light. These are the plants at 4 weeks.
White Widow 4 weeks
Chem Bubbly 4 weeks
I harvested the Chem at 9 weeks. This was it's size.
The White Widow has a few weeks to go. Here is it's size.
I hope this is not hijacking and I'm getting to the point now. My second go around with both auto's, same strains, I used FFOF and I prepped the soil with Great White Mycorrhizae, some humic, some fulvic, yucca, and a little chitosan. I did a slurry before I dropped the sprouts in and PH'd at 6.8 with a pre-planting flush. I used larger softpots. I changed the light to 1 400w SpectrumKing. I turned the heat mat up to 77degrees from 70degrees. Here they are at 4 weeks.
Top Left is the Chembubbly. Far right is the White Widow. Tall middle is a Super Auto Male. I think the difference is significant. My light is placed about 9" from the top of the Super. I did a first "feed" with NPK 3 days ago. I'm still a newb grower so my understanding of the cause of the changes isn't overly deep but I thought this example of timed photo's might be helpful. Sorry for the length and I hope I stayed within the etiquette rules for the site!
