Happy growing mate. I love using these foam ties, they are cheap and make 'low stress training' really easy. I usually trim the foam to pin the stems down with them early on and then use them as spreader bars between stems later in the grow to keep airflow between buds.
Good luck mate 👍

Nice idea with foam.

I normally have green garden wire embedded in my plants. They grow over it and form a huge knuckle

Yeah its great stuff, you can buy it on a roll too, if you spiral it round a stem you can pretty much free form them

Good stuff, I like that idea! And those are some really healthy looking plants!

Thank you! I'm definitely gonna do a bit of LST on these and wasn't sure how to go about it so that's a huge help :)
I really appreciate that man!

If your going to pinch off the head do it at 3rd, 4th node. I've had great success with it. Or just pull the fan leaves off to let the light in. Are they 30 litre pots??

Thanks for the tip! The pots are only about 3 gallons but I've grown some monsters in 3 gals before! The grow before last (grapefruit autos) were out of control by mid flower

Very good.

Good luck and I will enjoy the updates on how it goes

Good luck on the latest journey Rozzy

Good luck! I've heard you can grow NL outside in the southern parts of the UK. Anyone else heard such rumours?

All plants will grow in the uk during the right time of the year.

Gorilla grows using autos can do 2 crops a season, 3 if they are under cover and get good sun

I've heard similar rumours about some oldschool strains, I don't think NL specifically but there's a lot of strains that people say do really well in the UK climate... I grew a solo strawbnana plant outdoors in 2022 and was genuinely shocked at how well it did

I will put 6-9 autos in that tent mate. 3 autos it’s not enough for that space you could have much better yield in same time.

I really appreciate the advice but autos just seem to get out of control for me! I think it may be something to do with being in coco and also maybe because I keep feeding veg nutes during early stretch (until bud sites are really forming), OR possibly because I've been lucky with genetics, but I tried running 5 autos in there before and sadly had to kill 2 of them due to sheer size. This pic is the canopy with 3 grapefruit autos in it (grow before last) and that wasn't even the buds at full size!

Nice

Hey boss,
I just want to drop my 2p here as I have grown this exact auto strain from RQS. If you take my advise you should swap this out to a better strain before you put too much effort into it, just to be let down by the results at end like I was.
Autos have much less potential for yield and I ran several auto strains when I started out growing none of which tasted up to today's standards.
I would advise against growing from seed as a beginner because they are a hit and miss. If you heard the term pheno hunting before it refers to growing a number of plants of the same strain from seeds and taking cuttings labelling them and at the end of the grow they choose the best pheno to keep and clone for consistent good quality.
If you insist on keeping the autos I would suggest you start low stress training as soon as you can because time is limited with them.
Once it starts to get bigger strip down all the lower sites so the plant will put all her energy into the tops, this way I got nice looking results but I was always dissapointed with how they smoke. Once I got hold of some fire cuttings my whole game changed for the best :)
Either ways best of luck and feel free to reach out if need any help with growing.

Awwwwwwww Fifi ❤️❤️❤️❤️……there is genuinely nobody else like you on LB- Please stay with us🙏🏽….and post MORE OFTEN 😘🥰😘

Oh my God! 😵 thank you SO much Polly!

Well, definitely not tripping now, and still think the same :))) And here is a super, SUPER  special thing for you, with 'Puff', in it :))) .... ( but not because I'm hoping you'll lay puffer fish eggs for me, haha, don't worry, but just because - girl, boy, fraggle or sandperson, I don't know,  but you're super special  :)))


https://youtu.be/B91tozyQs9M?si=TSBkqLfDDoKN5OyY


I don't think I'm going anywhere anytime soon, haha. To quote you, Big Roo,  ( big up ☺️ ), I read this on your manifesto thing -"I love this place, it feels like home" - Really resonated with me. Bit cringe-ely up close and personal, but I'm going to say it anyway - I had parents who couldn't accept that their child had learning difficulties, and moved me from school to school to school during primary /middle school. All this did was make me feel that I didn't fit in or belong anywhere, and as is often the case with stuff  that happens during such formative years, these belief systems tend to become hardwired as the blueprint for how the rest of your years will pan out. I've Always struggled with feeling like the perpetual outsider, but not here :))) even on other forums I've been on, say, about my pets, I'd go on them for a few months, and as soon as someone was mean or critical I'd peg it. But on here I have actually been called ridiculous, fake, desperate, attention seeking and honestly I think most of those things are probably true, but when I've come on here, out of my tree tripping my face off and bang on about how much I love this place and my friends here, I totally mean it, and the 'fake', bit definitely isn't true :) And normally hearing stuff like that I'd be gone , lickety - split, but because I know so much that I have some seriously good, REAL friends here, it's not so hard to weather the horrible stuff :))) and I love it here, even though I'm very aware that this place is definitely not all sweetness and light, and let's face it, a place that you really do need to be super cautious in, I've made friends for the first time in a long time, and I love it so much. And thank you Polly for being a big part of why LB feels like a soft spot to land for me :))) °•♡•°🌷🌷🌷

Wow...that little fish digs 24 hours a day for a week to build the "most complex and perfect" construction in nature and all for love huh?.....gotta love da puff! lol!

I do know what you mean about LB. Stay here long enough and you pick up all kinds of flack- I've had the weirdest of threats and hate over the years but its a tight little community who contribute and really watch out for each other. The haters simply don't win. We do...

I'm so glad you've stayed with us (heart heart heart- no emojis on this keyboard lol) xxxxx

Who doesn't adore Polly, even if they just scratch their surface. That's 100% not a question, hence the lack of question mark.

I feel Polly needs to trip more to feel the universal love for themselves though...

YEAAAHH!!! Trip report, Polly!!! Go on!!!

Its crazy...I've got the Psychonaut gear in the fridge - its been there for months. They've talked me through it and we all know what experts they are, B0W13 said he'd trip with me, Ruxxy cajoles/encourages me all the time...and yet still I haven't tried it. One bad trip on a blotter when I was a kid has ruined me lol....but there's still time...ooooooh....

Polly is a legend and I adore them 🐰❤️🦊

It’s been a few years now my fluffy friend 🦊♥️🐰

The true story of the Rabb1t and fox explains how life can be better when we make friends.

Friends make our lives happier in many ways. Also, showing mercy and sympathy will make a person's heart much bigger.

Ah fuck wrong fox and Rabb1t is spelt wrong 😑

So lovely!! Can I know what the fox bit is about, or is it private friend ting?

No secret but there was a time where Polly rocked this as their avatar

Boom boom!

Legend!- gotta love da Fox!

You're grrrrreat, DeadRAbb1t 👾💥💥

Ahhhh you are a legend yourself you're enthusiasm and openness is uplifting ❤️❤️

I love this, a beautiful random act of positivity from you FJ and it's well deserved too, in fact you're both right up there with the goodest of eggs as far as I can tell💜💚

Love you bud!! Thank you for being my friend 💛💛💛

And here's a line from that song I just posted, just for you - as a nod to your love for nature, and your green fingered prowess -

" flowers of the earth,
Who can even guess how much a real friend is worth" °•♡•°🌷🌷🌷

Aw thanks for being mine mate, you're the best💜💚

B0W is one cool dude with one cool hound hehe...

Im not sure how cool he is at the moment, little toerag has been starting beef with big dogs, such a little menace!

😂♥️

Hi Fifi

You are the kindest soul on LB.

What you are actually doing is what Buddhist call Metta meditation - loving-kindness meditation and you sure will get lots of good karma for it.

Stay Blessed

He helped me before with something as well . He's a top guy

Thanks Cloudy! xx

Oh my God TWDuke!! 😭💛💛💛

Thank you!

Do you remember last year, a vendor did some competition, and to enter you had to tell everyone who your favourite bigga was?? Well I put Psychonauts and Polly, but ever since I have ALWAYS thought to myself- man! I wish I'd put TWDuke aswell. You are the epitome of class, soul and verve, always served with a good dollop of mega clever,
helpfulness :)))


I love what you said about the Buddhist meditation :) 💛💛💛

Dukey is cooool...

😂😂😂

I'll bring the loofah!!

Ah fifijane I’m not in love with the fox but he’s been a legend in there own right and helped me more than they would know or like to admit

Take a bow 🙇‍♂️

"Not in love"?!...Is it just a silly phase you're going through?...do you keep my picture upon the wall?...does it hide a nasty stain thats lying there?....

best place to symp is lb dedications but you'll have to pick a song to match your love

Thank you 😊, I was pretty far gone when I posted that, and didn't know where to put it.

So I'm just going to let rip on some kind of sick making drivel, but it is sincere, if naff AF, haha.

I DID pick a song to demonstrate my love, admiralBishop- and it's this -

https://youtu.be/iq_WkGHuuX0?si=2xD6-9XG1qEwmLIi



I think Polly is the embodiment of the lines" You give a little love and it all comes back to you,
you're gonna be remembered for the things that you say and do"

And this is going to sound supremely arse kissy, but I don't care, it's what I really think - If aliens came down right, and hijacked LB, and said, "take us to your leader", haha, who among us wouldn't point them in Pollys direction :)

And I think that this is irrefutable evidence, to say that, at least on this site, that hate and horribleness has tried its best to bring down, kindness and decency wins, because that's how Polly rolls, isn't it :)))

So that line's for Polly, and this one's for all the many, many "👐GOOD GUYS!👐", on LB that I think, definitely outweigh the meanies:)))

"It's been decided,
We're weaker divided,
Let friendship double up our powers" 😍😍😍


Everything else aside, I honestly think that if you watch/ listen to this till the end, and don't feel at least a little bit happier, you're already dead, haha

Now THAT was a blast from the past! (how do you find these things?!)- and yeah a great big grin on my face!

Its so true though- even on a site that somehow attracts some truly dodgy AF folk, the positivos rule. Just look at how much positivity and love you have generated from starting this one post- I mean wow!

I have a couple of LB T-shirts with the original logo/slogan that reads "humanity reaches adulthood" which was the kind of hippy ideal that must have got this place started all those years ago.

Long Live LB and you FJ!- xxxxx

Polly is legendary.
The biggas in this thread are also. Love to see the vibe is still alive ❤️

Right back at ya dashers! x

There is no such thing as a cheap set up mate.
Buy cheap buy twice!!
There is an awfull lot more to growing than throwing a light over them in a cheap tent!
An extraction set up is manditory really,for numerous reasons...First and foremost is to make the whole grow odourless to the outside world!! Secondary is to keep the relative humidity below 50% in late flower to avoid your beloved crop turning to grey mold before your eyes.
I suggest joining a forum and posting your grow up.uk 420 maybe? Lots of experienced growers on there will help you have a successfull harvest.

Have you got any recommendations for an exhaust system for a 5x5? I’m going to check out that website after I’m home for work thanks !

What else do you have e in your grow kit?

You got a meter that measures temp and humidity. I’d hazard a guess this is the issue.

You can grow without and exhaust fan, I had several crops fine but as stated will stink without a carbon filter, mainly in flowering near end tbh.

However with a fresh air intake at bottom of tent and hot exhaust extraction at top you will get better results.

You can couple the exhaust fan to a temp controller too, I found this would help regulate at night in cold winters.

I managed to sort a whole carbon exhaust and smaller intake with fans and tubing for under 100 quid.

Make sure you got a little circulation fan in tent too, plants will love you for that addition

That’s all I kinda just winged the first 3 times but this time I got a decent light and tent so wanted to know what else to buy to make it all go perfect this time 🤷‍♂️, yeah my problem was definitely humidity and heat. Luckily for me smell isn’t really a issue I’ve found so far

Smell not an issue in terms of Random’s smelling or your skunk ain’t hit that overwhelming stench 😂

Avoid all in one deals, usually can get cheaper.

Amazon delivered most my stuff including soil lol a bit bait I know but did for years 😂

If growing in soil get ph meter you stick in, can get ones that switch between a few things including ph and wetness - 10 quid or so

Humidity meter / temp - 5 quid

Cheap tent - varies on brand and size - I’d go biggest you can first rather than neeeding to upgrade when you grow monsters lol

clip on fan for inside tent to circulate air (one that can oscillate) 10-30 quid

Key things you need to manage are:

Temps / humidity
Water
Air

Temps - can’t stress this enough!!! Dropping a couple of degrees is fine at night but big spikes will stress you babies

I believe leds ain’t as hot as I used to run hps.

The ONLY reason I had extractors was to manage temp via controller AND smell when peak flowering!!!!

You can get away with opening flaps and fan inside but I’d crack a window for some fresh oxygen.

You can go deep into more automation, nutrients and all that shit later mate.

I have heard that too powerful an LED for your space can have a negative impact.

No ones mentioned pot choice. It does matter.
I used Airpots-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
But messy to water with,but because they have holes in,you can get air to those roots—-I completely by accident ended up blasting the roots with winter uk temps (jan/feb) and the results we’re spectacular.
If I remember right I got 30 oz from a single 600w bulb.!!
Ak48-will never forget.

Good luck

Environment is Number one.

Get yourself a hygrometer with min and max facility on it and you'll know what is happening in the tent when you're not around.

With LED's you want about 27c lights on, and no lower than 22 with the lights off. While they are still Vegging, humidity should be around 70% but when in flower you should be aiming for 50%. Probably a tenner from amazon.

You need an extractor fan, probably about a 150mm for a small tent, but this needs to be wired into a fan controller such as an SMS, which will regulate the fan speed depending on what temp is in your tent. When it gets hot, the fan speeds up, and when the desired temp ir reached, it turns itself back down to the minimum. One end of the fan should have a carbon filter on it to hide the smell as best it can and the other end should be vented out of the tent. Not only does this control temps but it also draws in fresh CO2 which is essential to growth.

Next you need a heater of some kind for when the light is off or its particularly cold. Oil filled rads work best. Again, you need a controller for the heater to turn itself off and on as required. G.A.S make a pretty good heater controller for about 50 quid.

These are the most important steps. You could have the best cuttings or seeds in the world, but if your environment is not right, they'll still come out shit.

Search google for Growell or greens horticulture. They do all the bits youll need

Tell us more.......

Grow space size?
How many plants?
House/flat??

Too many question

start with good cuttings

Hey 5x5 tent , 3-5 auto flowers I have seeds though not cutting, I’m growing the top back of my house

All good advice above...

If you don't get your environment right...you will always struggle...air flow and extraction are a must imo!

Good luck!

If you’ve built a pc, try emulate a tower that has bottom / front intakes - exhaust out your top and back.

If really wanting good intakes - get smaller in-line fan and flexi trunking and seal this to window.

In winter i used to run my spent exhaust gas through the door on the room and into the house.

Saved on heating through winter 😂

Also remember air flow drops drastically with frequency of turns and harsh bends!!!

PC fans are also surprisingly powerful. I used to use them in my fermentation fridge when making beer.

PM me dude might have what you need 😉

You just need to replenish air, personally in a 5x5 I would use a 8inch extractor on a speed controller, that way you're covered if humidity spikes in flower. A 6inch should do it tho. intake is kinda optional I guess if your on a budget. defo leave vents open tho if not using a intake.
keep RH below 60% in flower and you should avoid mold. You will need the give your grow area and room a very good clean since you have had mold before. You should also see a huge improvement in yield since they would have been starved for co2 on your previous attempts.

Use airpots,and utilise the hundreds of holes in the design to blast colder air at the roots inside.
I did exactly that during a winter grow that finished on feb 13th- air was freezing !! Biggest crop I ever got from one 600w bulb 30 odd ozs.
Best of luck.

If mild is your main issue then you’re not moving enough air out.
This is paramount to keeping the moisture under the required amount.
Get a built in sensor that you can monitor with.
Maybe don’t water til run off when plants get bigger? Just add a bit at a time?

You need a good exhaust system (air out) and your game will change,I’m sure of it.

You won’t have to spend more than £70 for a brilliant extraction unit. And don’t forget about the ‘last line of defence’——the inline ozone attached to that exhaust. ABSOLUTE zero smell leaving your gaff. This is the most important purchase my friend.

Definitely join the forums,
So much advise there.
🫡

Number one piece of advice before seeds, tents, lights, extractors, nutes:

Get a decent air intake ie. cool, fresh air being drawn in from outside. You'll need to drill / bore a hole. Drill 2 holes, side by side and extract your air from the other. The cool air intake should preferably lay close to the floor so that it circulates around and then upwards. Invest in an adjustable fan - that way you can keep temps within the ideal range, even with hot lamps.

Listen to The Breeder’s Syndicate podcast.

Literally. And I mean literally. Everything you’ll ever need to know about growing. And a load of stuff you probably don’t need to know, and will be glad you did. Direct from both pros and amateurs. OGs and new growers alike.

Some fascinating stuff about hash and rosin making too.

I don’t grow. Still love listening to experts who do, talking about it. It’s fascinating learning all about all the original phenos direct from the people who grew them, year in, year out.

I’ve only grown once, as much to see if I could do it as anything else (cost/effort wise, it’s debatable how much benefit you ultimately get with a small grow, but I enjoyed it). As others have said, air flow and temperature were key things for me. And you also mentioned the smell not being an issue. This is interesting, because—done right—it’s going to smell *really* strong. So that filter is a must. I used a Black Orchid (100 mm) extractor fan and a 4inch filter made by a company called Ram. And make sure you’re taking care of them when they’re getting started (I read up on topping and pruning, and it really helped to establish sturdy/healthy plants). Good luck!

I would say also research different strains. Some are more resistant to mold than others.
I used to grow auto flowers and found the ones with a short flowering time like the F1 were far more susceptible to mold.

You can try with a carbon filter but I wouldn't bother, never found one that works. But yes you do need suck all that hot air out of the tent - not push - put the exhaust fan at the exit point within the tent and the other end attach to your light fitting - get a cool tube. And get the most powerful fan you can because you want a powerful suck so that the walls of the tent get sucked inwards, like the opposite of a bouncy castle - this creates the perfect grow environment as well as a few side effects such as killing bugs, they can't live in a negative pressure which is what inside your tent will be if you have the walls going inwards and you shouldn't get any mould. BUT... you still need to move the air around inside the tent and have good air flow over your crop - this will help strengthen the branches and also eliminate mould, end of. To do this get 2 oscillating desk fans and 2 bits of 50cm long bit of timber - turn the fans upside down and unscrew the bottom, screw that to the bit of timber then screw the bottom with the timber attached back on to the fan. Then screw a hole at each end of the timber and get some wire - each fan will be in opposite corners upside down with the wire tied to the top poles of the tent, get them right back in the corner and on oscillate - now buy a timer and plug them both in, put the timer on random times eg 1 hour on, 15mins off, 30mins on, 45mins off, 15 mins on etc for the full 24 hours. This will give you max yields for all the reasons I have mentioned and more. Best of luck.

Cool tube? What's is this 2001?

Man said he's using a mars so that's gonna be a LED panel.

If a carbon filter not working for you, you're defo doing something wrong.

I've run in both push and pull configs and always managed to get a good seal.

If you've got neighbours of any sort then you need a filter.

Otherwise good advice about keeping the air flowing.

I used to use oscillating fans inside the tent plus the extraction set up.

Man I loved my cool tube 🤣

Yes moulding in flower is too much humidity/bad air flow.

Couldn’t agree more with everyone! They need to be taken care of like babies ;) Fresh air is difficult especially in winter and humidity when we use heating and all the rain has definitely made us seen a difference and we had to exercise more control. There’s some really top dehumidifiers out there bud but as everyone said spend the money and you won’t regret it as the yield will pay it all off in no time

Have you you got any equipment you could recommend ? This all sound like so much effort but I really need to I spend over 1k a month on weed 😂 just wish I lived somewhere I could just plant and leave it to grow 🥲🥲

What’s your area size?

2nd hand Grow equipment goes for buttons on eBay compared with RRP.

Don’t use a 2nd hand filter, buy a good one, mountainair and carabo are very good.
Don’t use a box fan, use a cylinder style one - iso max, cannQ etc
👍

Might be your lucky day.
I’ve got a makita skillsaw box full of grow nutrients and boosters.
I’m never gonna use it.

UK420 (linked above) is a good forum for information so get yourself signed up and ask the guys on there.

I'd help but I don't grow in soil nor on a balcony!

Good luck🍀

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Cheers buddy

Hi Buddy

- BioBizz has a decent line of organic products, including a ready to use organic soil. The nutrient bottles come with the feeding schedule on the bottles, but I'm sure you can find this on their website too if you wanted to know before hand. Follow their directions and you should be good. You'll need to read the signals your plant is giving off too, and add nutrients from there. There's alot of help and charts online to identify different issues if you run into them.

If you wanted to use dry amendments instead of organic liquid nutrients, check out "Living soils UK" on eBay, they sell bundles with everything you need - minus the soil. No matter what you go with, make sure to use worm castings in your base mix , they are phenomenal for the health and eco system in your living soil. Make sure to use water that is filtered and has 0 chlorine

- I'm only guessing here, but wouldn't moving your plant to different environments every day stress it out? Would it be best just always leaving it under the lamp, or always outside?

Yeah I think about that way may stress the plant , I may have to go 7hours under sunlight but affair that won’t produce anything . I don’t have a setup inside on the light and a small store room .

Agree with the bio bizz, grow and bloom will do an auto flower. Most soils will provide the plant enough nourishment for two weeks. Tropic Mix is good.
Autoflowers require less nutrients than photoperiods and will actually get stressed if you overfeed and overwater. Most bottle nutrients dosage schedules are for photoperiods. You should start feeding an auto at the 2-3 week mark and start with an 1/8th of the recommend nutrients, moving up to a 1/4 and then 1/2 once its well established and in flowering.

I agree with the boys here!
Biobizz is great! you can get their soils from amazon!
You will not need much in the way of nute's bud! If you up-pot correctly
germinate in a puck,
when shes got 4 leaves plant the puck straight into a small pot filled lightly with biobizz-light.
when she's on 4nodes up-pot to a 1lt pot still using biobizz light!
wait until 6th node nip it manifold it whatever!
leave a week until recovered!
uppot again 5/10 ltr this time use biobizz all!
2 weeks later uppot into final pot size using biobizz all!
when repotting never show the roots to the light and always sprinkle mycorrhizae (homebase£5) over the root ball and pop a bit in the new pot hole!
At this point if this an auto Its probably showing signs of flowering!
and you still havent used any added nutes!
Flip it, leave for a week then start to add biobizz bloom 1ml a ltr to start!
Keep adjusting this after 2 feeds to recomended dose.
do this for 4-5 weeks then just water with ph'ed water 6.5
I also use (in my water) a water dechloriniser called neutralise(1drop per ltr)
I would also recommend vitalink nutes also available from amazon.
Got to add....I always add silica(vitalink silicon max 1ml per Ltr) to the water for strong windy outdoor conditions as this gives remarkable strength to stems.
and calmag if any problems occur?
Also if you want to cheap out homebargains do sell bone meal, fish and guts fert and a 5/5/5 all purpose fertiliser that does the job!
Hope this helps XpeaceX

so far so good, looks healthy! keep us posted on this

Give it a few weeks then top it, before it gets to big for your terrarium, keep it tidy, let it bush out a bit before flipping to flower

Any information on the seeds do you know if it was auto or photo type?

Pretty sure they were photo. They came from my first/only grow a few years back. Which I found in a bag of weed. Which could have been any number of strains (my memory isn’t what it was).

It kind of all depends on what setup you have and on what you want to achieve if you don't have a grow room and want to keep it in the terrarium you should check out the bonsai plants videos on you tube because it could get big if you dont control it also it could end up being a male. I got some seeds from some free shake I got, and they have turned out to be autos

Personally I’d get a lil tent for 1 plant.

Look up low stress training and scrog.

If done carefully you can get a fat yielding solo baby.

Be warned, when I grew this how I started. Next a bigger tent, then I converted half the pc room to a 4 plant rotation and then you’ll dread cutting day 😂

I have a small greenhouse in the balcony, for three auto at a time, I grow them naturally, where I live is not considered illegal to grow if you do not use expert techniques and are three at most.

three shifts from April to November with an average yield of 30/40g each plant.

I know it’s little but the cost is minimal, effort is zero, risk is zero and the result is good. tops are no dense and a little light in high obviously but I mean..it’s all free from my balcony 😎

Nah Thats decent mate!

Is that dried weight too!!! Well pleased with that I’d be and legal you say.

They need to sort that shit out in uk. Like 2-4 plants or something.

They will get enough from our leccy bills lol

Yes Mate, well trimmed and dried 😎

Indica strain grow smaller. Minimum size for a closet with one 400watts hps should be 1x1 mt . If this is already to big for your project ... Autos in balcony (totally agree) . PC box is cute but might be disappointing if you harvest 10g after 10 weeks
Have a good week,GH

Good and large auto, Dutch passion,auto Mazar

If you have limited space indica dominant strains will be much butter choice than sativas. Indica strains dont stretch as much as sativas when you flip them in flower, but they are not as vigorous in veg so they need week extra in veg.
Pc box in my opinion it is a waste of time, its not worth to wait over 10 weeks and harvest just few grams. Little tent will be much more efficient.

Are autos any good in just daylight?

I had mad success with them under cfl then hps but always wondered

Yes they responded well just to day light (in the summer). Something to consider is the number of hours of sun exposure they get.

Scrog is an amazing technique considering space and g harvested .

For a small space like asked, check also some pruning techniques like topping or fim.

Hope it helps your project and keep us update 🌱😎

Autos are good for UK outdoor but problem with them is they dont yield good. I try them few times and I harvested around 15g a plant so a bit disappointing.

Gotcha, I remember my first plant 10g dried harvest 😭

By the end I could get 2-6 oz dried from an auto .

Low stress training when saplings, topped and scrog 🥳🥳🥳

Actual photo period amnesia grew into fucking trees that had mega buds

Any size is viable. As weed cost so much;)

You can convert a bedside cabinet easily into a wee grow box. Grow auto flowers in tiny pots.
Check out Stunted art on IG.
You won’t get a big yield but it will be fun.

Auto's on a balcony, is a good way to go

Get some ladybugs 🐞

They actually work effectively?

I have never encountered the scary spider mite, clap a few of those small flys if they're about. But mate a huge infestation among the roots is...not worth thinking about 🐧. Be cool to have a nice spider web across a branch or two - don't worry i'm not a vendor

They’re a nightmare be grateful! I fought them for weeks just to lose the war in the end 😭

Plant vitality+
One spray and bye bye spidermites
I tried everything for many many grows after some lazy clone shipper sent me infected cheese cut...I was unaware of the little monsters before then...
Anyway...again,plant vitality plus in a little silver bottle

might have to try this!! Ive had to throw a whole grow before as the bud was covered in the little fookers! Would growing in coco rather than soil help?? Ive only ever done soil but very tempted to try coco !!
