Hey i am planning to do one auto how much W should one plant have? i dont plan to have maximum light i just want enough plant where one auto would do well. I plan to have the lighting on a dual socket so i would be using 2 30 W energy savers its like 60 w equivalent so would 2 of these be enough? I will be using a home made reflector and mylar sheeting. Keeping the light as close as i can. Also i know its off topic But could i just use bio bizz light mix all the way through and just feed it based off this chart? https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=12208&pictureid=243767 and how would i use this schedule and change it to an auto? I will also be making my own Carbon filter and have it in a cupboard. The box will be like 20-35 inches tall.
 
depends on the plant but I'd average about 7 grams under that light. light mix is great btw. good luck!
 
Hey Nima. Yes it will grow but you have to ask yourself, will it be worth it. Lots of factors play into the end results. For me the cost to grow and the time involved I like to have enough to last til the next harvest. With autos your looking at a 90 day minimum, seedling to smokable meds, thats accounting for a short cure time and some are even weeks longer.
 
ı use biobizz light mix too. someone add 3-4 ml/lt grow. but ı used maximum 1 ml/lt grow. check the "biobizz knowledge base" in this forum.
 
So its deffo possible right?

Yeah, but... you're not going to do well with two small lights like that. 10 weeks of growing time minimum for a quarter oz or so. I'd blow thru that in less than a week.
 
IM doin 3 skunk autos in a 3L*3/1/2*T/almost 3 box with a 200w u bend cfl with 2 lowes spirill and there is not enough room for all 3 and 1 is a shorty but with the ubend cfl@ the right reflection. IM thinkin atleast 1/2elbw you can buy the insolation board at lowes w/reflect on on side. Im waitin to finish up 2-3 weeks max pics to come. the u bend cfl 12,000 lum...., lowes almost 4000 L----those only come 27K goodluck..15$ each.....u need more lums for more end weight!!!!!!!
 
I had five planties (no autos) under 5x18 w lights a few years ago (was my first grow dont laugh ;)) and had about 20g of finest dry stuff
