Haha no worries my friend, I’ve been lurking in the shadows of this awesome adventure :)

Kinda funny......me knocking autos like I do......all are autos, but the Sweet Tooth and not in the picture, a Skywalker O.G.

I truly do not take care of autos the way they should be......they are probably really awesome......my friend swears by ummm......they're fun.....that's it .........

Anything that should be done?

The solos are about about 2ish inches from the light....I believe the stretch is close to over......

Autos have their place. When I used to run over under setups I used them a lot. Height constraints made me go that way for a while.
They are great if the bank is solid about it.
You’ll have fun.

Well, I'm not out of the woods yet, but I think the crucial stage that I needed to worry about/get through, has just passed.....

Not saying the hurdles are all wrapped up, but I think I'm in the clear.....as long as maintenance is maintained........

Kratky Method of hydroponics growing.....

Bilber · Jan 5, 2024

Ok.....I've never done and probably not this time, but my Mh/Hps......

@GNick55 ......I tapered the light schedule like you suggested and I'm very happy so far....

My question, after reading up awhile ago, would it be better to leave the mh or swap it now.....?

I normally would change it and the nutes to flowering around now.....

4 weeks from 12/12, 1 1/2 from flowering.....

I'll try it sometime, but .......

Bilber · Jan 5, 2024

I've read that mh will provide more terps and airier buds.....

Maybe I'll bump it from 400w to 600w....

I have both......

GNick55 · Jan 5, 2024

not all strains but most will start the flowering process at 14 hours light.. so i change out the MH for HPS at 13 hours light,.. nothing wrong with changing it out earlier..

Thank you for the fast response.....

I went a lil later, not knowing with the step-down light increments.....

Gonna switch out tonight.....maybe try the 600w.....see if it'll be alright......

Thank you GNick55......

This is just about the 4th week of 12/12.....

I tapered down from 18/6 to 12/12 in just over a weeks time......

Not sure if I tapered correctly, but they seem to love it......

Just just over a week of flowering......

Decided to run my 600w HPS to see if the girls like it or want the 400w HPS.....

They look very happy! How did you taper them? 2hr steps down to 12? I've considered this because it makes sense that it's an even more gradual change in nature.

@GNick55 mentioned gradually dropping the light schedule.....

I'm sure I didn't follow it to a t, but I'm thinking it's still better than not.....

I pretty much dropped 1 hour every 2 days.......

The concept sounds legit......

I wanted to see what difference there was....

And remember....my atmosphere isnt ideal......so why not....I'm all about trying new ways.......

I like it! I wonder if genetics would play a factor, as in if the cultivar was dominantly from more equatorial strains

Bilber · Jan 5, 2024

GNick, thank you for the post......!

I will also try the sub lighting also.....

Maybe that'll be like 24-36 hours of darkness in a way......

Interesting way to think 2Water......if not that, then maybe raising or lowering your lights would achieve your train of thought.....

i did find or least i think that the afghanica’s i just grew didn’t get the flowering signal until 13 hours setting,..

Kratky method......still doing good.....

The water level was a touch too low for my liking.....added 1ish inch.....it's now covering almost half of the solo.......just a guess, but the roots are probably around an inch from the feed.....

No visible roots yet.......

The 600w Hps is doing good.....plants seem to like it.....

Another day or two from chop......ha....just kidding......I do like the paranoid high though.....it doesn't make me like that......it's just a different high....
