Went for the spider as the leds are better and have more of a water proofing and was abit cheaper also comes with fabric pots! So ive not used fabric pots before and need to find out about watering and run off ect
Spider willl be a nice light . Both are in the same realm . Spider pulling ahead in performance over Mars . And I would do as Doug advised and backfill and pot up .

No point in cloning it. It's an auto
I have 3 auto's in here. Only planted 1 seed. I pruned the little runt branches.
For shits & giggles I cloned them. The one in the cup.. eh... but the one in the 1gal pot..is going to give me more than the missing branch would have.
Probably double.

It will grow. Just stunted at this stage, but plant will still live out it's cycles. You may pause the clock on it, but it still finishes out.
The clones vegged each for 3 weeks before starting to flower. Same as the plant I cut from.

Main cola.. from the 1gal pot. Bigger than the main cola on the original plant.
Someone's gotta rewrite those unwritten rules on auto's.

I don't know if I would go as far as to re write the rules. I know you successfully cloned them and it can be done. I think the issue is more people's limited spaces. If you have tons of space and can legally grow many plants than I say go for it. As a guy with a 4 plant limit I would not waste my time on the yield from a cloned auto as I would be better of starting a new plant that would give me much more. I think it really just depends on your situation. Congrats on the successful cloning thought bud, that's cool. I am glad you did it and can show people it can be done.

Thanks man. I knew I would probably not have space. Hence why I kept one in the cup. I can put it anywhere.
It's just about done actually. Finishing sooner than the mama. (I think she's done too...lol I just keep hearing "2 more weeks... ok 1 more week" in my head) :lol: :lol: :lol: She's been going for almost 13 weeks. closing in on 10wks flowering time.

You can always use those lights you were using as side lights later on if needed.
So far I'm liking the Spiderfarmer light my gf got me. Course I'm only 4 days in lol.
There's also this thread which might help you.

Weed is very resilient, it loves being tied up , cut up, bent , twisted .... you did it a favor. Get a nice breeze on her and that will help sturdy it up as well .

Ok, I am impressed.

Might as well be you

Awesome. Will def try it on one of my free seeds once I free up some space in the tent. Thanks for sharing bro
No problem. I'll post once they get ready for chop. The mother and the one in the cup are like any day now.
Planted another the same day, and it was done last week.

Theoretically this way you harvest more every time. It could become the new way to increase harvest on autos instead of training bongsmilie

My thoughts exactly.
The cup will probably only yield 7g dry.. if that. The 1gal pot however looks like I'm gonna get a solid zip out of it.
It's top heavy like a mf. She is 29" tall from the soil. The pot is only about 9" tall :lol: Gonna have to strap a couple bamboo's on her to keep that baseball bat stable. The lower branches on it are the size of the colas on the mother. :idea: <-- Me staring at it.
