No problem, you can always tell when to transplant too. Keep an eye on your drainage holes, the roots will come peeking out slowly, i always wait til theyre about a centimeter poking out to transplant. And when the soil is dry so its alot easier transplanting and will slide right out of the pot and cause less shock. Some strains are big babies and emphasize the transplanting and some are very thankful for it.

Hi everyone, I am setting up a 4x8 room with soil smart pots. Mylar on sides. Looking for advice on lights for this area. I think I will have 10 plants going. We did auto's on a small scale with T5's now and loved it so a little bigger now. Would like advice on an area this big. Money is always a concern but don't want to cheap out either. Wife loves the idea of LED.

Love this thread

Hopefully in the $2000 area is what we were thinking. It would be nice to go from seed to harvest with it.

Check out Full Spectrum LED Grow Lights | Spectrum King LED
They have top notch leds and theyre fully waterproof. I washed my led in my bathtub and it has no problems. That means you can wash it after every harvest instead of getting your light all grimey.

AK What watt you think to cover this area?

 

[AKGrower907]

Id go with two-SK400s or one SK600+. Either way they are pretty wicked lights. If you get the 600+ get the reflector for it.

 

[AKGrower907]

Ive got the closet case 140w and its covering my 3x3 pretty damn good

 

[nelsongrow]

AK It looks like the 400 has good coverage.

 

[AKGrower907]

I would get 2 of them since you have a budget of 2k.

AK Have you seen the DIY cob lights and what do you think of them?

 

[AKGrower907]

Theyre pretty good too. I forgot which lights are diy but growmau on youtube has some really nice ones. Id say which ones he has but my post would get deleted again. 420 messaged me saying my posts got deleted when i mentioned spectrums light

 

[nelsongrow]

Sorry to hear that. I was on youtube, only reason I asked. I feel if a company gives you a light to test your review is biased. I just want what will work for us and get the best product. Money doesn't grow on my trees so pretty important decision.

 

[AKGrower907]

I hear you on that. Leds can be expensive. Look up growmau5 on youtube though. I think timber land lights are what hes using

One of the 3 auto ultimates i transplanted. Those were at 3 weeks old when i grew them. Ive started a new grow, that grow was from a couple months ago. Their final pots were in 5gal buckets

i find this a really beautifull looking plant
nice open structure good for ventilation

Thanks for the kind words. Flowering was a pain in the but though with three other autos at 7.5ft tall. Had to defoliate new leaves to get some good circulation going on in the tent

AK how do you think about dutch passion ?

 

[AKGrower907]

Theyre great. One of the best auto seed makers so far. Not the number 1 but theyre legit seeds. Killer. Half the time my buddies dont even know they smoke autos until i tell them it is. They hate autos haha

they cant help their ignorance ...
looks like my next grow will also be Dutch Passion, it will be Blue Automazar
I am curious to this auto cause its a cross of two established autoflowers auto blueberry and automazar ... great taste crossed with great yield
