Hey fellow autoflowering lovers 
im new to this site but not completly new to growing AF. I grew the original lowryder back in 2006ish using a 125W Envirovlight over 4 plants in a meter x meter homebox tent... and lets just say the results were very poorl... 5gs of poorness!!
But this time im doing it right. My Friend offered to sell me his tent which is 3ft x 3ft with an 18" depth.. im yet to see it but for £20 i snapped it up and gonna pick it up shortly once the snow eases round my area and i can actually get to his house.
But i did go to my local 2nd hand hydro grow store an bought a comple 400W HPS and some flowering nutes which were recommended to me by the salesman but i cant remember what they are called and they arnt near my person to check the name. Iguan Organic- or something like that?.. ill check it out and tell.
What im unsure about is what kind of soil should i use? I hear a 'light mix' is recommended for AF, what would you say? The store i went to didnt stock any and he said i can but it online.
Also would i fit 3 plants in the tent you reckon? Under just the one 400W light?
I was thinking of hanging 4 or 5 40W blue spec CFL's to germinate them. Would you say that was wise?
The site, Herbies where i bought the seeds say the can grow between 40-80 cm but what with the light and the hight of the tent im using, could i clip the tip of the plants to bush them out an keep them to around 60cm? (if the even make i that big?) And at what stage should i clip and stop slipping? after about 2 weeks or so?
Was planning on using 7litre pots for them but this is just a thought i had and have no idea whether is the right size.
Has anyone grown this strain before? If so, how much did you yield dry? To the experienced growers with good instinct, would you say i have a good chance at producing a decent crop from the 3 of my girls?
All help is greatly appreciated and once were up and running then im definatly gonna be posting a photo diary
