Ya get rid of the leds and get an hps. J/k. It looks great to me. Keep doing what you are doing. I'm not sure about leds. I think you can probably lower those way down.

@tekdc911 lil HELP here.
Hey HLG, I ordered some of those bulbs you showed us. Thanks for the help I was paying 3 times as much retail.

Edit: for just one.

Going to go HPS from the start next grow to see if I can get plants that focus more on the top cola.

Just to clarify things. I grow between 6 and 18 autos in my 6x6x6 room. No A/C or heat.

Here is the room:

And here are the nutes. That's it.

Just follow the schedule:

At what week do you start the nutes. Do you start at week 1 from the start?
Or since fox farm soil has enough food for a couple of weeks do you hold off the nutes?
So if I waited for say 3 weeks before feeding, do you start nutes on the week 3 like it says on the bottle?

I start nutes when white hairs show and usually go straight to 1-4-5 ccs as the chart shows. I do not use any of the stuff on the right side of the chart.

FFOF does real well until the hairs start poppin.

I got nitrogen toxicity when adding nutes to ffof before flower appear, great advice

Great your no fuss approach is just what I want, thanks for showing this, I like the 24 /7 lights Auto`s are the way to go. The proof is there for anybody to see. But they still tell you what you should Do & not do......I say keep up the good work an fuck the nay sayers. I just put 2 white widow autos in they just broke through I am going for your plan I like soil to I am trying out organics on them Thanks again :joint::bigjoint::peace: I am using 300w leds see how it goes.bongsmilie
Hey Claypipe69. Just purchased a couple 300W LED lights, Mars Hydro 300s. Doing some femenized autoflowering carmelicious and femenized autoflowering northern lights. Doing this in a 2'x3'x5' box, effectively using one LED per plant since the manufacturer states it gives 1.5'X1.5' coverage in flowering state... how is your 300w grow going? How many plants in what size space are you using? Just curious. Thanks!

Just some of the BS I've encountered over the last 8 years. Keep this shit simple.

1. I use 1 gallon grow bags. You don't need 5 and 10 gallon pots. (Waste dirt if it makes you feel better)
2. FFOF 600 hps - 24/0. Just keep the light on. A 250, or a 400 works too.
3. You don't need molasses, dino cum, or insect saliva.
4. You don't need a dark period.
5. Flushing is for the toilet.
6. Ventilation - Not real necessary. Fans are needed for sure.

I've tried it all.

A few of my 1 gallon grows.

Hey HighLowGrow,

I just wanted to say I really love your style. I've always been a fan of running multiple autoflowering plants in a small space with high quality organics in soil. Less mess, less stress I say! Your grows look a lot like how my old Lowryder grows used to go. Keep it up and enjoy!

Starting some new batches soon- fem. autoflowering carmelicious and fem. autoflowering northern lights, each plant under a dedicated 300W LED light. Would you mind reading my setup description? I pasted the link below.

Would love your feedback! I know you'd recommend HPS, but for someone on my budget, space allotment, etc. LED is what I can do for now given my current closet. Thanks!

I'm breeding and make own seeds. That's not an issue at all.

Good point about the light. I can go out there at 8:00am or 11:00pm. Lights are always on to check on things.
youve made good choices along the way bro , some tastie buds for sure , anywhere from jasmine/ berry to skunk/berry all good buds ive pulled from your BKR's wish i had pics but will keep a journal on them this next round coming up now that im done with surgeries/ recovery dance for a bit

yeah good puts out enough light, the panels around the walls help a lot 21" x 21" x 28" inside grow area is very very small.Plants can get 18" tall from soil level. :leaf: should be okay see how it grows :leaf::peace::leaf:

There's a lot of this attitude on forums, but I don't think that's what HighLowGrow is after, he's just saying how he keeps his grow simple.
Keep it simple BRO,, simple is the best way to grow MJ, and keeping a positive attitude is tops as well,, your right about attitude,, lots of that around!,, lol
