I need help or any info on leds info on light times and anything eles
I believe 18/6 is the preferred schedule
i prefer 18/6 , but 20/4 is also common for autos, also depends on your situation as you can run them 24/0 or 12/12 if that s what your limited too
SoG and auto though, do go hand-in-handā¦ so if he wants to take out ācrā, thatād be an optimal way to run autos
Is it bad to top autos ā¦
Wats best light time to run them on buddy Iām a pest lol ur the best
18/6 is preferred lighting for autosā¦ generally you donāt want to top them, at most, do some LSTā¦ any topping or cutting will need additional time to recover and you donāt have that much time to spare with autos.
Welcome @Butcherboy!
Some of us top autos! Many ways to skin a cat. And I like mine chopped, broken, and lit up
Iāve fimmed autos before and they didnāt bat an eyelid to it. They didnāt stall what so ever. I ended up with a different problem. They just took off and the grow tent got very overcrowded and the branching pushed the sides of the tent out. you just need to catch them at the right time. I fimmed at the 4th node.
Haha no worries mate itās what weāre all here for although at 1am I was sleeping like any ordinary hooman on a Tuesday
I personally run my autos at 18/6 but as a few people have said they will flower on pretty much any schedule. The main reason I run 18/6 myself is because I run autos in my veg tent. And next year a lot outside. Should be fun that.
And I still personally wouldnāt wanna top. Mainline. Fim an auto. Or scrog. Theyāre basically designed with small space and fast yield in mind. 5l pots finishing at a couple of feet from pot top is my preferred method.
Thatās 420 fast buds blue dreamāmatic. They had lovely structure and height etc. But none better than @ReikoX la diva x lowryder that Iāve found so far
I have one of @ReikoX low rider x ultraviolet growing. It ended up a girl. They are a perfect size for my small tent I bought under a 120w solstrip light I plan on putting together with the strips I got from you. How well will the strips perform running 4 at 30w each?? Or would 3 running at 40w be better mate?? Iāll bang the remaining 9 autos I have left into 2 litre pots and see what happens
4@30w should give you a nice even spread and naturally reduce heat emissions from the rig. Either combo you suggested there will work though bro. Although Iād be more inclined to run them @185w myself particularly over a a few autos.
The tent is tiny mate. 60x60x90. Itās a tent I plan on keeping purposely for creating seeds. I had to put the ak back into the big gro area as I was getting leaf burn from the meizhi. Iām able to get these autos ran and finished in time for Xmas. I already have the 120w 24v driver. Iām trying to keep the power Iām using under 1kw an hour but also the room the small tent is in is not as well ventilated. The tent also only has one port for a filter so no external intake. The size @ReikoX low rider has grew too is the perfect hight for it. Obviously there will be males so eventually there would be more room available to each plant
Then youre spot on bro. Iām running the tardis on a 120 when it arrives. And the dimensions are pretty much the same as your tent. I think all the lowryder Xās will perform well in there tbh
Cheers for the help @anon58740919. I love how compact they are. Itās a perfect plant for the area. Iāll get on it today and get the bits bought I need. I could run that tent 24/7 365 days a year without worrying so long as I grow plants that I can keep around 70 in height and the low riders fit the bill perfectly
What you think mate??
119w at the wall, built with an angle grinder and mikita cordless and some motherboard screws I had laying around
@Ghandisflipflop looks better running mate.
Belting work bro. Thatās exactly as they should be done
I used solar crimp connectors instead of soldering. Itāll make things easier if I ever want to add more or swap a malfunctioning strip out. Iāll hang it in mini tent on weekend and monitor temperatures to see how she does. Thanks for supplying me the strips mate. Your a gooden
Awesome,er I taught you well, young grasshopper
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha < and that wasnāt because of the 20 letter limit
