Thanks GreenSkell! I kinda figured I'd do ok, but that nagging little voice kept saying check your emotions dummy, you'll run outa time.
These will be my first go with autos, they were just being introduced when I had to push the er "hobby" aside. Stunned @ the advancements in both the botony and light tech. Looking forward to getting up to speed on both.
This is the girl in the back, she's short (for now) but right @ 3' across the corners nothing special, but got my feet wet again. Given the wind around here, I'll probably SCROG her to keep things in place as well as getting the light in.

The grow, therapeutic, enjoying the harvest, nirvana

3 feet across is pretty damn special in my eyes bud!! Hey have a look at this thread. https://www.autoflower.org/threads/maximizing-outdoor-autos-guide-to-growing-under-the-sun.56402/

The only thing about less light plants...bud will be very potent without a doubt, but expect buds to be far less dense than indoor grown bud.

I think your right on the first one, Slater, while I did alot of DWC, the sain approach is to KISS change as few things as possible, then adjust. Already alot of variables are different for me. Climate here, growing in a tent as opposed to a full room, led from hps/mh, auto from photo. I think I'll set it up as simple as I can, run it, and make adjustments as I get the re-education. Also caring for elderly parents can eat up alot of time, I can't just hang in my grow monitoring a flood table like I used to...

sounds like a good plan to me, play it safe

Thanks Starbreaker, given my location, and the date, we won't drop to the 13 hr mark till the 1st of Sept, figuring I'll star seeing preflowers sometime mid august shes 3 months old now, and been stressed from the topping etc several times. Now she's on her own, with appropriate lst. I think I'll have my hands full keeping her low and out of site
.
The stoner that sits on my left shoulder kept saying "get it planted!" The much more quiet voice on my right shoulder kept sayin "hold off another month, your not looking for a tree! " Guess which voice won?

Stay withn your location limitations...listen to that instinct bud. No point in having a 20 footer if someone is going to see it and steal it from you.(or worse)

Jumping over to that thread now. Given my "all photo" background, and mostly indoor stuff the question was nagging me. Wouldn't dream of germinating a photo for outdoors in mid june... just notified seeds are rolling my way, so if I'm lucky I'll see them by the 15th. Time to get some decent soil set up so they have a nice welcoming home to move into!

Thanks all,

That voice caused me to have 14 plants going at once when I initially decided on 5 the other voice is winning now. I only have 3 going lol

Yeah, the outa sight thing is really just to be a polite neighbor, but rippers are always a concern. I think setting it up SCROG will help, and given the area, I can add additional screens on both sides to keep her going horizontal not vertical. Taking pics every day, would be interesting to set up a time laps cam to see the whole thing afterwards

Yup StarBreaker! That's the one! It happend when I started my indoor setup years ago. As I've aged, it's easier to ignore that voice (which remarkably sounds alot like Butthead)... ahh ahh hahaha that'd B cool....
