bud beans 
today from winning on a different site. If yours continue growing good I’m considering growing a couple. They sound pretty nice for autos. CL
Mine certainly seem better off inside and not being schlepped...maybe try that?I received my dutch passion auto orange bud beans today from winning on a different site. If yours continue growing good I’m considering growing a couple. They sound pretty nice for autos. CL
Mine certainly seem better off inside and not being schlepped...maybe try that?
The tent is consistently in the mid to high 70s and RH from 55-65%.

Hope you got a light to add to the ones not getting enough ..
This is pretty simple maths though.
I was over the "we can't do certain things with autos" mentality.
So here is where I started this morning:
Thanks sb! I dug out a long 23lb box from the attic, which turned out to be a @Mars Hydro SP 6500 from early 2021. It's spec'd at 650w (it only goes to 640 according to my Kill-a-watt meter) with a big honking driver:
You've been busy recovering! Thanks for circling back.
Thanks double H, mos def.
Thank you Lerugged, and I'm hoping to do Justin proud with these.
I don't mind having a few nice sativas around.
First, LOL! Second, thanks! Third, leaf temps are around air temps (77-79ºF) so your numbers are right. Fourth, lights are on 24/0. And fifth, I don't control RH so it's all luck!
Autos will do much better with more light unless yours are getting direct sunlight enough of the day to max out their DLI.
I may put it on the heat mat to give it a better chance now that I know there even is a chance.
Oof on the aggressive training but I'm sure everything will turn out better than expected!
Holy crap Shed!!! She's gonna be a beast!! Can't wait to see what happens with the big one and tiny Tina there!! Happy hump Day buddy!!Queen G auto 2 topping update of a Wednesday on day 30! I had a short confab with VG offline at the same time as she was posting this:
So here is where I started this morning:
It's pretty tight node spacing in there, and VG said it might be a good idea to just leave 4 nodes. I agreed, figuring that it would make it easier to keep narrow to fit the space, and I already have a QGa topped and trained wide right next to it. So this is what came off:
It wasn't easy for me to take that much off but what the heck, this plant wasn't even supposed to be there! Here it is after the cut, leaving a nice double H stump:
Then I got out some pipe cleaners and tied down the tallest nodes:
And with such a clean top, I put it in water:
I have it on the north-facing windowsill in the kitchen and I'll throw it out when it dies.
And before anyone points out the clawed leaves, this plant does indeed seem to be sensitive to N, so I diluted down my 4.5g/gallon mix before I watered it this morning.

The driver says it maxes out at 600w so go figure!
Anyway, it's got a dimmer on the side which will take it down to 61w:
And it's pretty damn bright, not that you can tell here:
Anyway, after finding out what was in there I'm now a bit conflicted about what to do. I am really using the heat from the SP250 driver to keep the tent warm, and if I run the two side by side I don't think I'll get the heat I need. When I get home tonight I'll take out the SP250, hang the SP6500 at the top of the tent and keep the driver in there with it, and see how much heat it puts out. Stay tuned!

Seems like you don't need to - if you did I’m sure your body’s largest organ, your skin would let you know you’d have a warm bowl of water in there…
We do alright on the sunlight front here most off the year! Chiang Mai where they grow the most weed here is at altitude mostly as well. Think I posted some pictures of 5000 autos outdoor here somewhere. Stocky bushy things but 5000 of them and no lights or electricity required 4 times a year they're a good bet!
Thanks Scottay! I hope all is well with you as we wind down the year.
So far so good, though things may change if I start changing the lighting situation.
Growing outside in an unobstructed field is a little different in terms of sun hours than growing on the balcony of a house, but I'm sure on some level you already know that.
Cheeky bugger!
You don't need it to grow, so of course, it will.....you'll probably be jarring it up when it dies...
Once you’re over that it’s on like Donkey Kong!!

Mebs.
Truly bizarre!
Har! We'll see.
Certainly is at your house!
I haven't had time to do it yet but it's on the agenda for tonight so I can monitor the temps in the tent after the switch. I'll report back tomorrow with good news I hope.
