Lighting Blackskull Pineapplegum

No, you're fine here. I just wanted to make sure you weren't a newbie that might need some hand holding. Autos are a bit more nutrient sensitive than the photos you're used to growing, so go easy. Most won't tolerate more than about 1/2 strength, some not even that much. If you need any help with anything, just shout.

hmmm well if there is interest I can get into more detail. I'm from the old Overgrow site. I stumbled onto this site looking for threads on Pineapple gum grows. The area is 4x2x4 I feel that's "micro". I used to grow from clones but space is limited so now Fem seeds are my new favorite. I don't consider myself a newbie but I'm always learning. K.I.S.S has been my savior. Right now im running a 200w CFL. L3V3R thanks for the encouragement. This thread will get more exciting as I get these babies past the seedling stage. I dont think seedlings would excite anyone. Muddy thanks you can move to any forum you see fit. I'm not a new grower but im not a expert either. Unless im using a burner set then I can grow 2liter size colas! haha

Muddy so Blackskull makes the Auto and the regular Fem Pinnapplegum I was in a rush to order and I'm pretty sure I ordered the non auto now that I look back on my order. I like to start 12/12 when I see pre flowers evern if its Fem seed because by then I feel the plants are ready. If these are auto how will I know? How can a plant be auto when its all controlled by light cycles?

Auto flowering is a genetic predisposition. Autos will flower under any light cycle, usually between 16 - 21 days, when they reach about 5 nodes. While they will do okay under a 12/12 cycle, they do best under 18/6 or 20/4. The higher amount of light increases yields significantly.

I also grew the photo version of Pineapplegum outdoors last year. It has a bit more of an indica hit than the auto version. A good producer with some nice big, tight buds.
