Cheers people , I’m not gonna lie , I’m ready for a bit of a break when these og kush are dry ,
Tending to your grow takes a lot of time and effort , checking for mould mixing feeds checking ph, and let’s not forget the cropping ! Baine of my life lol I know I know it’s the end and gives us the fruits of our labour but ffs it’s teadious ,

Bowl trimmer is the one mate and trimming wet. That massively helped me cut down th3 labourios process. You've done well mate and I've got th3 autos lined up for the winter grow and seeing your autos has influenced me to go for em too! Cheers dude. Enjoy your Xmas smoke

Beautiful yields mate. You smash the autos. Big up the auto pot massif @Cave Hill Cole
I do loves me some autos :-) the wife not so much having the 600w hps burning 24/0 lmfao

Paul
Lol. I'm planning on getting the 600w hps going too over Xmas. Are you in a shed or outbuilding?
I’m in the garage mate that’s part of the house but just got the thin tin garage door on , so I lined it with padded
Foil insulation and put a tent in the garage

I love autos in winter as ya leave the light on constant so heats never an issue

Nice one. Do you see any difference running autos 24/0 vs 20/4 or 18/6 if you've ever had those cycles set up?

More light more bud ;-) tried them all , done em in 12/12 too and barely got 2oz off each
It all depends what you are wanting to achieve from your autos , in the summer I put some autos in the tent while I’m begging my photos , basically ya getting bud for free because your using 18 hours of light on the photos and the autos just sit their and do their thing
If you want the best from autos I’m a firm believer of more light more flower ! And I haven’t found they benifit from any lights out , but obviously that’s just my opinion

Cheers for your input bud. Never ran them 24/0 only for a short period on 1 run, so as the temps have now dropped -1 here, 24 hours seems more favourable to me and wack the heater on in the reservoir. Do you not heat your res?

Makes sense! Good strategy dude. Do you LST or train autos? My thinking is not to, as you don't really want them to go into recovery mode as they're autos and time sensitive.
