Hi There.
All new to this autogrowing deal. Been growing hydro for many years in a ebb and flow system with cuttings.. Then I was growing in Rockwollcubes.
But now i like to try out this autoflowering deal, Sounds really intresting.
Been reading alot about this but some thing Im noy sure of???

1. What medium to use? Some said coco and perlite in 3 gallon pots????
2. How du you water it? Auto in drops or by hand? how often and how much??
3. Can you grow it in Rockwollcubes 75x75x65mm in an ebb and flow system???
4. Will use Hps 600w per square meter, enough??? Or is it better to go with a 1000w??
Think that whas it for now... Thanx alot guys

coco and perlite is good, also promix,sunshine mix .Ther is a thread at the begining of the forum on growing medium.3 gal pots are good.When you water water enougfh so its running out the bottom of the pot and lift pot so you know how heavy it is When the top two or three inches are dry and the pot is light its time to water again.600watt is good but a 1000 watt would be better but keep in mind they give off a lot of heat and you will have to deal with that. Any other questions feel free to ask. good growing your way.

Thanx alot for your help, some more questions.
What ration on the coco/perlite mix??
Start the seeds in this mix or just put then in normal soil first week or so????
In the beginng i will use normal florocent light right?
Whats the right ph for soil??

Thanx alot. First time here on this forum. So much interesting information and nice people..

I'm not familiar with coco mix and don't know if it has perlite in it.A good mix would be about 80% mix and 20% perlite.Do you know hoe to germ the seed with paper towls?if not there is a thread for that also .I would do some reading on the subjects in the begining of the forum you will learn alot from them.PH of soil should be about 6.3 or 6.4.I'm not sure if you know anything about growing at all but there is a lot to know before you get started.I don't have anymore time right now to help but maybe someone else will join in or I will be on tommorow.
