Dude... just realized how much of your comparative journal I missed. Peaks and valleys of life. I was barely able to keep up with mine.Will do Baked. Glad to see you here.
Lights not a problem in the beginning but autos need 18/6 entire grow which conflicts with photos in flower. You can switch to 12/12 but autos will will suffer a little but they will finish.That looks like an awesome setup already! I am planning on doing a living bed after this run too. 3x3 is my size choice as well. Gives me some wiggle room around the tent. I'm thinking of reusing the soil I have now and then doing a bunch of fresh soil and compost on top.
How would you approach growing an autoflower and a photo in the same tent bed? Would a 18hr light cycle mess up an auto?
Also, how about soil preferences by different cultivars. I have not seen that be an issue it seems for living soils but changes in pH or other inputs in other mediums can cause havoc with some. I don't know...I'm baked and dreaming about my next run and you're inspiring me with this route.
Hmmm why do you change the way you count Veg?Update
Veg Day 5 - 18 days total
Five days into veg and all the ladies are looking great. I will be watering later today as the @GeoPot fabric pots are feeling a little light. Just an estimate but transplanting to the 3 x 3 bed could be in a week to 10 days. When I start seeing roots popping through the pots it will be time.
Temperatures have been pretty easy to control now that outside temperatures have cooled off. I'm keeping the tent below 82°F and RH around 65% pretty easily. The AC Infinity T8 combined with the Nextlight Mega Pro and Controller are working great to keep the environment stable.

I'm glad you brought this up. I'm running AC Infinity also in 6". I found it a little cumbersome when it came to controlling the tent parameters and when I want it to come on and off. Not sure how to explain it but I find it not that great in auto. It could absolutely be operator error...but NOT THIS operator! Don't you dare say it!The AC Infinity T8 combined with the Nextlight Mega Pro and Controller are working great to keep the environment stable.
Hell yeah! Great lighting and gorgeous plant. Clear winner for sure.Best of the bunch. Granddaddy Purple

You know, I completely agree! After this first indoor run for me, I found counting the days of veg didn't mean much. They showed maturity when they were ready and then I flipped them when I thought they were healthy enough for it. I should have waited at least another week or two in hindsight looking at the performance of two of my plants. Moving forward, I really do think I will simply be putting the seeds birthday for veg and call it a day.But honestly it really makes no difference since the amount of time in Veg should be determined by the plants progress and how big of a plant you want to end up with. Counting flower days is more critical.
Thank you for thatHi Trala
Ask 10 people when they start veg and you will get 10 different answers. I start when the 3rd node is firmly developed. Seedling stage can last up to 14 days and IMO should not be treated same as veg. Many times my Veg day 1 coincides with the first day of transplant from the seedling sippy cups. But honestly it really makes no difference since the amount of time in Veg should be determined by the plants progress and how big of a plant you want to end up with. Counting flower days is more critical.
Could not agree more! Mine is kids and pets...and me. Haaa haaaThe home front has been a little busy.
I did not quadline during the GSC grow. I'm thinking I may give it a try and let some plants grow naturally. I am going to do some autos next, I'll have some duplicates to experiment with!If I plan to quadline now is the time to start.
