Thanks to all that have taken the time to reply. I appreciate the warnings and will adjust my expectations.
I'm sure this doesn't mean very much but I'm an expert photo period grower. Been at it on and off for 20 years. I'm very versed at reading plants and diagnosing deficiencies. Generally I haven't run into deficiencies or toxicity because I run a moderate course and try not to under do or over do any one thing. Im also a microbe grower and rely heavily on beneficial bacteria and fungus.That said, I've never grown an auto. I have a feeling I'm going to gain some training on this adventure. Which is cool. What I do see is a huge advantage in plant turn with autos and when balanced with proper yield it would make an unstoppable combination.
Response to others:
Plant count is important because I can't go over 12.
I saw that post on GGG4. Thanks for letting me know it's similar to 4AM. Will avoid her.
Which one is AVT?
I'm going auto and not looking back. I'm determined to make this work for me. The reason is, in medical states with plant count limits, you can't safely run a cloner bucket. Recently learned that lesson the hard way. So autos for life for me.
Thanks
Tom
