Haha its all good...if u want smaller autos they require smaller pots ...those are good size and should create some nice ladies....
What is the strain exactly??
Also man coco is funny to water if ya haven't done that before...it has issues with cal/mag too at times so alot of people buffer it ...Saying that means you soak it in Cal/mag solution it will only take so much at a time and if u have some super autos as u say it could be fun
A few Watering tips I was thought and used and is when water don't just dump water in and think u ok ...if it's dry it basically just bounces off ....
I like a garden sprayer with a finer mist for 2 reasons
When watering slowly if absorbs better rather than shield off and run straight into ur tray/sink/tub ..where ever ur gonna water!!!.
2 water some then give it say 5 minutes then go with some more till u get a trickle of runoff by that time u should have a runoff start to really come through ..

Also get an idea of the weight of the dried pots with ur medium ...then wet it and see how much that weight is...
You can do it by feel or actual scale

It will be some tasty as smoke tho very clean at the end ...i added some peat in my coco this grow to help retain a lil moisture and hold it more stable for ph ..
Peat is also a good NATURAL Microherd for nutrients

Hey there brotha. Glad to see you jumping in, mate. I can't quite remember anything about that strain on size. And I wouldn't ever follow the cycle they give you at the bank or on the pack. That's more like shortest possible cycle, but if you go that route, you're cutting yourself of yields. Here, check this link out and it will explain it all to you.

Edit: Do you have a ventilation system for your tent or in general?

Imop those dates aren't always correct ...its a sales pitch ...it can be achieved YES ...but whoever the breeder is could be running say 3000w farm ...
Ur lighting I'd say closer to 75-80 even more MAYBE ...
patience is the jey and as long as ur here u should have a great grow ....
I like ma ladies now over the 80 day mark ..for potency

Bonghead, wooohoooo, got it growing on over here.

Yeah, coco, as you may have heard, it takes more regulation than soil. but you did the dwc before right? So you should be able to knock this one out. Of course you wouldn't be here if you didn't already know about the great advice you can get. But as you know, too much info is not a good thing. what I do is, take one person, check out their grow, find something you like, and follow thier advice, don't try to do everything everyone suggests, that'll drive you crazy.

Good Ventures,

Eek
