Hello everyone!
Been poking around here a while, and was encouraged to actually sign up by @corgitron . I’m still new to this, bout to finish my second grow, but I’m in it for the long haul. Currently in a 2x4 tent with an HLG 260XL. Will get a log going tomorrow or the next day, as my next batch from seed is also in veg.

How do we know its your bud without your feet awkwardly being in frame? Its the only way to know for sure.

Hey! Just wanna point out what I meant. If you’re using a 12/12 cycle half the time (flowering, for fems), that’s a lot less power. Also in my state from June 30 to Sep 30, prices are quadrupled for electricity, PLUS “peak hours” (you’d have to run lights only at night, and you’d still get a huge bill). All this shit is buried in the Bill complete with a chart skyrocketing to make most people think they’re using too much AC. But it’s really just the cost. Sep 30 it drops down again 4x and no more “super peak hours” (8x more maybe)
So the less energy used the better, IMO, even just 12/12 flowering is better than 20hrs a day always IMO.
As for pics, would love to post some. I’m flushing Kandy Kush auto and I’ll share my new Banana Kush auto babies (got 20 very viable autos for half price, they’re growing like 3x faster than the other seedbank I tried).
If I confused anyone, like the fem vs auto light use, feel free to ask me to elaborate. I’m glad to be part of this community and thanks for being so welcoming

What’s up guys! Newbie here with only two grows under my belt so far. I found my way here from another site’s Bodhi thread.

I totally understand optimizing your electric usage, using only what’s necessary to get the best production And using it at certain times to get the best value for your dollar.
But fems vs auto, I think you are calling photos, fems… fems can be auto or photo, there’s really no fems vs auto argument??? At least that makes the most sense to me about what you’re saying. It would make sense if you were running a photoperiod feminized strain over the course of the summer that you only light overnight or during the off peak hours and get a lower bill. That would also help by creating heat during the coolest part of the day which would also lessen your bill for air conditioning
But just so we’re clear here
Fem = feminized. Aka bred without the male gene, can be an auto or photo type
Auto = auto flowers. Not all autos are fem, though many are. Autos can also be “regular”, and produce male and female seeds

Hellooo OG!
First time on here!
I’ve been growing for 12 years, I started outdoors coached by a mentor for a couple years, then did my own thing. Gave indoors a try, started with rdwc for my first grow (have you gone mad or something lol). Not afraid to diy crazy setups. Grew some vertical trees in rdwc for a while.
I’m very interested in learning more about breeding and coco sogs.
I took a break this summer to focus on my outdoors, but I’ll be back soon with some hydro craziness!

Welcome @Mithridate! I’ve mainly done soil myself with my only real full hydro done to grow Salvia back in 2003 or 04. Other than that bubble cloners are the extent of my knowledge so youre going to have to look well past me for any help there, but Im sure many here will be more than happy to oblige. And now I know who to ask when I wanna try Octopots . . .
If you havnt already take a seat in some of the BOG run threads that seem so trendy right now for some damn reason. 
I know you’ll fit right in there.
