Hello autoflower community! After, several long months i am finally able to put the time and dedication to a grow. This journal will track my first auto/ led grow. I had originally planned to run a sealed 4x4 tent with a watercooled 1000w hps scrog setup with co2 administered every 3 hours. I had some family issues that required me to place this project on the back burner, and actually relocate, which i am fine with, but my current place couldnt handle the the electrical needs with out blowing fuses. So I decided to to stream line my setup and nix the 1000w hps and 1/3 hp chiller. I opted for a Spectra 600w LED i bought locally. I am pleased so far with the performance of the light and quality. My growing medium is a 50/25/25 mix of FFOF, Light Warrior, & Perlite. I am using Heavy 16 Nutrients VEG-A, VEG-B, FIRE, ROOTS, in the veg stage and then Heavy 16 BUD-A BUD-B FIRE, & ROOTS for Flowering with the Finisher to flush. I germinated seeds in RO water until cracked and tap root came out. I planted directly into 5 gallon smart pots. I will pictures as soon as my phone charges up. Once again thanks for all the help i received from this community.

Also, I have just switched my lighting schedule to The gaslamp technique: 12 hours on, 5.5 hours off, 1 hour on, 5.5 hours off.
 
great set up duder!! Never knew about the gaslamp technique. Might stunt your auto's, but give it a go!!! I am in for the duration!! Grow karma your way!! Heavy 16 is the business! I run their foliar and it is superb!!
 
Subbed to your thread:). Interesting about the gas lamp technique. Wondering how it will work. Also wonder why they named it that haha!! I'm glad to see someone else who isn't afraid to experiment. I am trying lollipopping right now.

I have used led before with good results. Switched to hps recently but had a ballast issue so back to my led until new one gets here. Good luck with your plants! Look forward to seeing the final results!!!!
 
half the fun is trying new techniques lol. Thanks good luck with grow as well nben!
 
Love your "Location" briman! Aint it the truth...
