Sweet tent but a $65 light? More light.
The Miraclegro seedling soil isn’t time release. I used it once, nice and fluffy, wasn’t bad at all.That Miracle Gro has timed release food in it that is designed to last 6 months. You may have to very lightly supplement, but most likely not.
Watering is important. Just to be sure we are on the same page, have a quick read.
Watering for Soil Growers Only
Watering in Soil Watering plants gives many new growers anxiety issues. Because we want our plants to do the best they can, we over water and some even underwater. To help relieve the stress and confusion, this is sort of a step by step of what to do and look for when you grow in soil...www.thcfarmer.com
Ok. I have not used the seedling soil. I know the potting soil by MG quite well.The Miraclegro seedling soil isn’t time release. I used it once, nice and fluffy, wasn’t bad at all.
This is your problem on bud density. 40w a sf would do you good.I have FSG 600w full spectrum LED's. it currently costs 65.99 on amazon I'm pretty sure.
Yeah you can get away with 15w per Sq ft. Around 20/4 or 24/0.Plus, with low wattage and autos you need to run 20 hrs to up that DLI. That is when the magic begins.
I think the auto breeders started that rumor.I was told it was easier to grow auto's I grow with my brother he buys all the seeds and stuff. but this time I made them flower early by accident I think it was because I have 12/12 light cycle right now.
There is nothing difficult about photoperiod plants if you can control your light and dark periods, which the proud owner of a tent can do. You have a much larger variety of strains to choose from and have much more control over the plant, itself.I
just was using them to start getting some experience in growing everyone said they were a lot easier, are you saying I should just get fem seeds?
What kind of 600 watt led ?Bud density seems to depend on genetics + light. With a 600W LED, it sounds like you have the light, so that leaves genetics.
I can't recommend any autos, because I've never grown any. Since you have a tent and can control light and dark periods, why do you only want to grow autos?
Get rid of the miracle grow especially for autos.That Miracle Gro has timed release food in it that is designed to last 6 months. You may have to very lightly supplement, but most likely not.

They are popular from marketing for sure but once you get the hang of them they have a place in my garden - that being said yes photos are easier . IMOThere is nothing difficult about photoperiod plants if you can control your light and dark periods, which the proud owner of a tent can do.

If you can control light/dark, I can think of no benefit for using autos. I can't believe they're as popular as they are, quite frankly. So yes, I think you'd be better off with photoperiod plants, whether they're fems or not.
Never tried autos but if they can take 18/6 or 24/0 lighting in flower then i see a big advantage.

When they produce a superior or unique product I'll grow them.Never tried autos but if they can take 18/6 or 24/0 lighting in flower then i see a big advantage. Light makes trichs.
