Thanks vader....it's outside covered but no school/heat. It's supposed to be 47* tonight. I wonder if I should put a heater out there since I just transplanted today.
I meant no "ac/heat"

Interesting tidbit i found out today. Leave the lights off for 24-72 hours before harvest to gain more potential THC. Anyone here heard the same thing and tried it?
Blessings to all
Good morning, things are looking realy nice your way. I like. How did you photoshop all the pretty flowers in the scene? Ha, ha,
Put 11 clones in soil yesterday roots were 4-5 inches long, still looking OK this morning.
You are doing great.
You have mosey neighbors? Try walking around naked, they might keep there blinds closed, or not.
Have a great day!
When you turn the lights off for the last few days of flower it shocks the plant and speeds up the production of trichomes id be lying if I told you why this happens but I can tell you yes it does work I do it every harvest another thing I do is soak the plants roots in water for those 2-3 days I find that this helps as you'll see the flowers actually bulk up some as well also helps to flush any excess nutes. Also washing the buds helps with taste and smoothness and smells
I also wanted to tell you that running autos you never want to get bellow 20-4 some would say to keep it 24-0 from start to finish but not all autos can handle the 24hr lighting so to be safe 20-4 is optimal from germination to harvest

So I'm gonna pull up a chair if you don't mind.... I'm an indoor convert and now grow only autos I can tell you that you need a minimum of 3 gallons per plant. Those smart pots that are 5 gallons are perfect for one plant two plants is too much for one pot not for the roots necessarily but the foliage. They will not allow each other to grow to maximum yield you won't be able to tie down or any lst'ing as you won't have room. Lemme show you this is Green Crack from Fast Buds today she is 46 days old and in a 5 gallon bucketand don't forget this is only 46 days so by time I harvest the plant will double in size. Can you imagine if I would have had two plants in that one bucket it wouldn't work so imho I would suggest you transplant asap so you have no more than 1 plant per planter/bucket also if those coffee pots are smaller than 3 gallons they also will need transplanted. Now with that being said it's never good to transplant autos lol there best if they are germinated in there life pot there a completely different grow than with photoperiod grows. Autos get there topping right around day 14 usually between 12-16 days actually. Another thingif this is the three way meter you spoke of its shit and only good for moisture checks the ph will not change unless it's a huge variance. Now you spoke of two 300 watt led lights I hate to say but I also have two 300 watt lights (marshydros) and each light is only good for 2 plants if you check your light specs I'm guessing that in flower there good for 1.5ft squared in veg it's more but flowering is most crucial so it's what you need to pay attention to. If you've got any questions or if I can help in any way I'm around also my journal is perpetual the first grow is pages 1-19 second 19-43 third 43 to current and I've got two outdoor journals as well. #global420

Good morning Ohio. Thanks for the information. Yeah, before starting this grow I read so many articles, posts, journals etc....the older ones, said autos were so much different, don't transplant, 24/7 is good, yada yada. I read where people ran two in a 5g ... some ran 2 in 3G with great success, so I figured why not. Hence my one doubled up 5g. Too late two sepafely separate those two now don't you think? Are t their footballs intertwined at this stage (25 days old). Wouldn't it be safer to just leave them together vs separating & risk losing them both?
I had read not to transplant, so I found a journal somewhere about how to start some in these coffee pots, then, when time to transplant, you unscrew bottom , and plant slide down & out of pot and into hole. Then pull the top over & off the plant , fill the pot with soil..water in, done. Well, didn't work for me. I'm waiting to see how they react to this. I didn't plan on growing all of my seeds at one time, but long story short..I had too. So, I decided that I'd start & keep as many as possible in my tent & when strong/big enough, the rest go outside to the fresh natural wild outdoors. Got a greenhouse cheap, and here I am.
All the coffee pots are in 3G go pros. Three in my tent with the doubled up 5g. Im down southeast United States, so our weather is awesome now. So I would have thought that the sun is muy bueno for plants. Better than any light. These plants have been indoors & outdoor for most of their short lives. So they should be used to it by now.
I'm hoping that between the sun and the leds their 20/4 light will be ok, but the others outside are just gonna have to settle for what Nature gives them unfortunately.
I was thinking about the rest in the tent ( 4 pots). I was going to pull out whatever was necessary, when it was necessary and put outside however many no longer fit in the tent. Are you saying that that my plants in the tent won't grow to their full potential in there because it's not enough light?
Thanks for checking in bro, & I appreciate any knowledge, advice, support I can get from anyone. Even an "ohioboy ". Lol. I'm a STEELERS fan, & y'all need to hand josh Gordon over to us for a second round pick!! Is it too early to talk football? NEVER.
Have a great day man, and please check in as often as you like. I'd love some help.
