Its best with the autos to put them directly in their final pot as soon as it sprouts, & as for the light, Im lazy & just go 24 but some do other ways but its the simple way for me & I havent had any problems..

&#304; need a advice is is the 4 liter pots enough for final stage (moby dick autoflowering) or must i repot them to a larger pots ???
 
Why use MH lights,juicy on power,use L.E.D's or giant cfl's,a lovely 300w giant dual spectrum bulb on those plants & theres no changing from daylite bulbs etc,the plant takes wot it needs wen it needs it,no heat,cheaper 2 run than HP/MH bulbs,no chopper worries or high electric bills,loadsa places 2 get them.Try 'em!

Don't listen to Cypress Green, if you have a 150w MH, USE IT! You'll get better lumen output from your MH than from a comparable LED or CFL setup. You'll barely see a bump in your electricity (if you even do), the only thing that you'd have to worry about is heat. As long as you can keep your temps under control, you'll get a much better yield and final product from your MH. It'd be even better if you could switch to a HPS during flowering.

yea dude i know and have got electricity problems cant go over 150 watt :( you true ive just search the lumens which ones better which have got better lumen and etc 2 months investigating and read many articles about the cfls mh,hps,leds and choose the mh maybe its enough for flowering and vegging stage because kelvins is 4200 . in the last month about flowering can buy 3200 kelvin or 2700 hps for better result (your right) thnx for suggestion sorry for bad english brandon

Do u have fans on them? That'll thicken them up. Its like going to the gym for us. I guess. And, I hear autos don't like to be really fucked with. Put it in its final pot and use the biggest light YOU can afford. Their life cycle is so short any interuption can mess them up. Good luck. I'm gonna try soon as my autos show up, if they even do..
