Lighting 5 36v Vero 29s@1400 (250w) for a 90x90(3x3) tent?

also, this is the main theoretical argument i've been making for autoflowers to my like photo absolutist friends. the real advantage isn't some mythological ease of use by not having to click some buttons on a light, it's to do with how much light you can cram into a plant. minute for minute, a genetically solid auto should, theoretically, outpace a photo. for someone in my position - can't maintain a cut right now, high preference for speed and variety - good autos seem to make more theoretical sense.

I have only one issue along the lines of genetics, and I preface this by stating old time grower here!

With photos, I'd grow out 10 of a particular strain, flowering clones when ready, and then cull 9 of the mothers, looking for the best example to fill my room for years to come.

With autos, your hoping for genetic resemblance, with clones....same same.

Not near the issue when your not projecting for bills etc.

Spoken from a real grower. I’m on board and have been with autos for a couple years as the reasons mentioned by beret but the genetics are still to spotty for a guarantee with autos.

yeah the big knock on autoflowers is the clone thing. keeping a few great mothers is like top tier fantasy for me, but it's unrealistic unless the law changes or i move out to like the country or something. not really gonna happen on a 3rd floor 2 bedroom walkup.
