Live Stoner Chat Trying Something New

[jbmoviefan]

Greetings all. Medical patient here with 3 years of grow experience on a small scale. I've done all feminized seeds with short flower times to current using HF, and the liquid nutes. Started off in 3-5 gallon pots, but over the years have increased to 10 gal. Some beautiful plants but I'm ready to change things up and I thought auto-flowers would be a great way to bring something other than indicas in to my garden without throwing off my plant numbers or time tables. I just added a new patient that I will be a caregiver for and have just ordered a bunch of Mephisto autos to start filling the empty slots. I'll start a grow journal for the current round of barney's farm fems I'm doing now, and obviously for the Mephisto seeds when they get here. All the info and pictures on here have got me really excited to try these auto and has me thinking of trying all new pots, soil, and nute lines. Also considering LED lighting and experimenting with a soil-less or hydro grow medium. I've read a ton already, but still somehow feel uninformed, so any suggestions will be welcome.

Thanks, jbmoviefan

Welcome to afn.. .. I promise the soiless and nute lines and feed schedules that all seem so cumbersome and like it's complex really isn't and there are plenty of people here to help you along the way... just ask... I made the switch to advanced nutrients and soiless mix and will never go back. Glad to have ya here don't be a stranger and be sure to get a journal started.

Iv'e done most of the Barney's Farm fems with short flowering times with my favorite being LSD (dense, strong, and a huge yielder). I have a critical kush and a pineapple chunk going currently. Here's some pics of the current garden. Just got a bunch of new beans today, gonna pop them later tonight, mephisto beans shipped today so another week and I'll pop those.

And some more pics. The pics with two plants are barney's farm sweet tooth autos that they sent me as free gift. All the plants in this post and the previous are 8 weeks old from seed and 2 weeks into flower, with the exception of the 2 autos which are only 6 weeks from seed. The last picture is the wide shot showing the 8 plants under 2 1000w hortilux hps.
