A51 LED closet grow

This is my first thread so bear with me. I'm sure I do things differently than some but wanted to share. Got three strains going and they are all from mjseeds. Short Ryder auto, white widow fem, and Acapulco gold auto. I got my three A51 4000k LED cob lights going and using GH hydro for nutes. I'm about thirty days in and here we go.

First is the SRA second is ww and last is AG

Here we are is of today and they are starting to get a nice smell and are growing at a nice rate

Is that tin foil on your walls?

tin foil and have you got all 3 lights on already ?

Definitely not tin foil, reflective paper just hung pretty loose, and yeah with all three lights I'm getting pretty good coverage

They are small for 30+ days!

Yeah we got off to a slow start while I was waiting for the new lights I had em under some cfl's I had just to get them going. Hopefully we catch up in the next week or so

Looks good homie. They will blow up once those roots hit the res. I've done lots of autos in dwc. I grew two dp automazars in dwc and pulled over two pounds total off both. Once they hit the stretch they will blow up if you have the right Ph and ppms. I never went over 700 the whole grow. Good luck bro I'm watching

Thanks! This is my third dwc and I think I'm getting the hang of it. Ppm is holding steady at 350 on all three and they seem to like it. I am starting to see the results of the LST on the first one and topping the white widow worked great. I agree that once they start stretching we are in business. Gonna set up a net too to keep em in order and try and keep the same height

Quick update, a few days later and still doing well. I was off on my original timeline, these girls just hit 30 days today. I know people don't normally flip the light cycle for autos but my white widow isn't an auto so we will see how the autos react to the 12/12 coming soon after a little more stretch.

Lots of fast spread with w90s. 8" to 10" after switch and really good on flat canopy. About half or less as far away as xgs type. Will handle 24"x24" nicely in veg at 16" with one unit. 4000k quite capable of alpha to omega.

Day 32 from seed and still nice and green, starting to see the tops rise from the LST and I did my second topping on the white widow a couple days ago and the new tops are starting to sprout. Be back in a few days!

Yeah I've read that a lot but with my setup I don't really have another place to separate em so wish me luck. My next one will be no autos so I have full control

Subbed! Can't wait to see how these do.

Some people have great succes with 12/12 on autos,some even say that they had much better yield with 12/12 light schedule than 18/6 or other like 20/4 and 24/0.That depends on growing skills,nutriens and strain!I have 1 Ak 47 auto and i can say this,after i flipt my light from 18/6 to 12/12 she start pumping.She is 40" tall with many bud sites,she is in 6 week of flower and buds are huge so im conviced that 12/12 works on autos,maybe not to all but in my case that is true.

The girls are doing well and the results of the LST are moving right along. The short rider aka the crazy LST plant I slightly overfed but she is recovering well and will get a full nute change Sunday. The white widow topped is the next one and the Acapulco gold (AG) is doing fine just naturally with only the main top LST'd. 12/12 coming after the nute change and moved the lights up just a couple notches to encourage some stretch. Stay stoned my friends

She is going somewhere,looking great,now shes going to explode

The white COBs make some tight plants, your's look exactly like my micro plants under a single 6500K COB. I wish I could've bought A51s, killer lights for small spaces.
