Hi everyone
I grew years ago, using a 400w HPS and soil set up. After the whole Overgrow thing I went into a panic and decided to pull what grows I had and leave behind websites like this. Years of having to pay through the nose for substandard product helped me to decide that I really miss having my own growing away so back I have come. When I last grew it seemed that LEDs were astronomically expensive and not terribly good, but for my new kit I decided to give them a whirl. So I purchased a 240w LED off ebay, along with a cheap tent and extraction system (it defo all looks nicer than the white washed closet that I used before) and away I go. Dropped my 5 Auto Blue Mystic seeds from Nirvana in a glass of water and left for 24 hours, after which they had all germinated (happy days) so into their pots they went.
I am using 10 litre plant pots for 3 of them, the other 2 are growing in cut up ginger beer bottles - the idea being the 3 in the larger pots for myself and the other two will hopefully give me a couple of much smaller plants that will make nice surprise xmas gifts for a couple of close friends. As far as I understand autos (something I've never grown before) the smaller pots mean the plants will be smaller and finish earlier, is this correct?
As for LEDs, I am using one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161089283496 for my lighting, does anyone have any experience at all with them? I tried a search but either they've not been mentioned or my search-fu sucks. Probably the second.
Pics to follow as soon as I get my camera back
Peace
