Correct except don't step it up. Planting in final pot for autos is key to larger yields.
Stunted plant help!

wrong starting in final pot is key to larger yield it can be done but weter needs to be managed
So for example my northern lights, asking because I saw you've grow that in auto as well, said they were a 10 week auto. So does that 10 weeks mean from germination to flower, how long can I expect to harvest for this strain. Or is the 10th week when you harvest ?
How so?

depends on 2 many things id never go with seed bank time schedules they grow in optiminal enviro with co2 ect
ur plants r rdy when ur trichomes dictate there rdy no sooner

It varies. The breeders times are rarely right. The bigger the pot and veg nutes all the way through extend veg time and grow bigger autos.
Tap root determines veg time on an auto. The bigger the starting pot the bigger the auto.
You also say t5 cant grow auto flowers.
432 watt t5.
15 inch wide pots that hold five gallons for size reference.

cause no matter how good u can transfer a plant it will eat up valueable time resettling it that could be used on growth and a autos tap root not like a normal plant u need give that tap root maximum room cause if u grow small pot u will that tap will hit bottom and then start its upward growth and this will stunt the plant don't matter if u transfer it after that cause the stunting will have allrdy begun
So if my taproots were a little over an inch long the day I planted what does that mean

I didmt say u couldn't I ask how many watts of t5 and if u had grown that under a hid u would get more yield

Nothing. I don't use paper towels. No need to. Its a seed.
I mean that since there is no photoperiod flower response the plant has to know how to flower.
They adapted to grow way up north where the days are 20 hours long in the summer and there is permafrost. When the taproot hits the permafrost it flowers. The bigger the pot, the bigger the root, the bigger the plant.

Debatable.
Plus I think the smoke is better.
Maybe ceramic halide would be on par.
I used a mixed spectrum and UV.

Let me see a finished photo. I can make that t5 yield.
This was a scrog that pulled right at 11 oz. I'm sure I could beat that easily. That grow had problems.

what is a ceramic halide? u mean metal halide?
Do you have a cooling tube like what was brought up earlier for the HPS you have?

That's what I been saying. Planting to final pot is key to larger yield. Equals no up potting.

No photo.
I have done autos on a scrog. Some take to it some don't. The ones that do yield way more.
Some of the newer xxl autos take well and yield more with topping.
