Thanks @Chuckeye The plants did the hard part. I just gave 'em what they wanted (or tried to). The yield doesn't look great compared to photoperiods. I ran these autos with 66% more hours of light throughout flowering but didn't get 66% more harvest, and this particular auto wasn't near as frosty as many other photos I've grown. In my case I see no advantage to growing autos.
Thank you, @Melville Hobbes I think it could have been bigger if not for the weird way #2 just shut down. I kind of think the cross was unstable. I did not get good results from CaliSeedStore seeds and wont be ordering from them again.
Thanks, @StoneOtter Not my frostiest harvest ever but it was interesting seeing what autos could do. I think in my case I can pretty much do without Ruderalis genetics. I'm already thinking about my next grow, which will have to be delayed a bit for a search for cheaper, roomier housing. I think I'm going to need the universe's assistance realizing those goals.
I have everything I need to blow up the yield equation with a DIY ebb & flow hydro system next time (thank you, Howard Resh). I love the results with large cloth pots of organic soil but those are best suited for outdoors IMHO. Dealing with big heavy pots of soil in a small apartment is a challenge, especially at my age and health.
I also want to do an "Old Seed Sprout-a-thon". I have a bunch of old seed dating back to pre-2k and it would be interesting to see if anything sprouts. That will have to wait, though, until I find another ant farm.

I'm having a conversation with an AI. So far all very generic knowledge but it wont give you ways to break the law, as it has been programmed to see it:
Me: lets design a small hydroponic system for a pothead
It: I'm sorry, as an AI language model, I am not programmed to provide content that promotes or supports illegal activities such as drug use. My purpose is to provide helpful and informative responses that are appropriate for all audiences. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
Me: lets design a small hydroponic vegetable garden for 1 human that does not smoke cannabis
It: Sure, I can help you with that! Here are the steps to design a small hydroponic vegetable garden for one person:
Me: will ebb and flow be better than nutrient film
It: Both ebb and flow and nutrient film techniques are popular hydroponic systems that can be used to grow a variety of plants. The choice between these two systems ultimately depends on several factors such as the type of plants you are growing, the available space, your budget, and personal preference.
Here are some key differences between ebb and flow and nutrient film techniques that may help you decide which system is better for your needs:
Ebb and Flow: This system involves flooding the growing container with nutrient solution and allowing it to drain back into the reservoir, which is then pumped back into the container at regular intervals. Ebb and flow systems are easy to set up and maintain, and they can work well for plants with larger root systems. However, they require more frequent monitoring and maintenance than nutrient film systems, and they can be more prone to pest problems.
Nutrient Film Technique (NFT): This system involves a continuous flow of nutrient solution over the roots of the plants, which are grown in a shallow channel or trough. NFT systems require less maintenance and are more efficient in water and nutrient usage than ebb and flow systems. They also require less growing media, which can save money in the long run. However, NFT systems are better suited for smaller plants with shallow root systems and can be more difficult to set up than ebb and flow systems.
Ultimately, both ebb and flow and nutrient film techniques can be effective for growing plants in a hydroponic system. You should choose the system that best suits your needs and preferences based on the factors outlined above.
Me: Dam. Almost seems human. Suddenly feels chilly in here.

It: Sure, I can help you with that! Here are the steps to design a small hydroponic vegetable garden for one person:
- Determine the space available: You will need to find a suitable location for your hydroponic garden. Ideally, you should choose a location that gets plenty of natural light and has enough space for your garden setup. A spare room, garage, or balcony can be a good option.
- Choose a hydroponic system: There are several types of hydroponic systems available, including deep water culture, nutrient film technique, and drip irrigation. For a small garden, a simple deep water culture system may be the easiest and most cost-effective option.
- Choose your plants: Decide which vegetables you want to grow in your hydroponic garden. Some vegetables that do well in hydroponic systems include lettuce, spinach, kale, peppers, and tomatoes.
- Purchase supplies: You will need a variety of supplies, including containers, growing medium, nutrient solution, and a grow light. You can purchase these supplies from a hydroponic store or online retailer.
- Set up your system: Once you have all your supplies, set up your hydroponic system according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure you choose a location that is easily accessible for maintenance and monitoring.
- Plant your seeds or seedlings: Follow the planting instructions for the vegetables you have chosen. Make sure you space them out correctly and provide enough nutrients and light to support their growth.
- Monitor and maintain: Regularly monitor the pH and nutrient levels in your hydroponic system and adjust as necessary. Check for pests and diseases and take action immediately if you notice any issues. Harvest your vegetables once they are ready and enjoy the fresh, home-grown produce!

Happy 420, everyone! 
Puffing on some Afgoo to celebrate! Finished trimming DoSiDo #1 yesterday and today she is weighing in at 165g (5.82oz) but is still damp at 73% RH, so it's sitting in a tub covered with a paper towel to breath. Should be like 5.4oz when it reach's 62% RH. Not as much as I had hoped for. The total with #2 is going to be somewhere close to 10.6oz. #1 seems more pungent and stickier.

The epoch of the Tiny Closet has come to fruition and is nearly completely dismantled. Plans were made for the next experiments in sip, ebb/flow & drip hydro in my tiny garden space. The universe, however, calls with cyclic karmic change and I am compelled to follow. So be it. Walk in grace.
Be one with all that is.
