My advice to you would be not to do a Auto and look for a stable photoperiod as a first grow. With Auto's you are on a clock if you get it wrong there is no turning that clock back. A photoperiod allows you time in veg to dial things in if needed.
I also believe you save money on electric doing a photoperiod if done correctly and there is some decent strains that are fast flowering. Ultimately it is your decision and whatever it is i wish atb with it.

Thank you for your advice. I bought some seeds online, most of auto flowering, and of course, that's too much. When I am familiar with it, I will grow the seed of light cycle. Because I use translation software, many nutrients and technical terms are not translated correctly, so I intend to start my planting road from auto flowering.
if you want to do something, you will find a way. because no one can stop you!!!

This 100%Chad.Westport wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 11:20 pmIf you are in a 2.5ft x 2.5ft tent, you can get two average sized plants, three little plants or one large plant. For that footprint, you would want a minimum of 100w, ideally somewhere around 250w. With small tents, the height can be an issue. Since the tent is not tall, you are not able to grow big plants because you need space between the top of the tent and your light fixture, as well as space between your light fixture and the canopy of the plants. So you likely can aim to run three feminized or auto flower plants. I would only do one or two if going with a photoperiod plant.
I use 2 small tents... went from 1 large plant in each using LST to building a scrog net to make the most of the space and keep the canopy level and low. Hope this helps

I concentrate more on the photo's but always have a couple of autos going as well.kbag wrote:My advice to you would be not to do a Auto and look for a stable photoperiod as a first grow.

I use up the old nutrients on them and light is on 24 hours in veg tent anyway.
Photo's are definitely easier as you've time to correct mistakes.
The Afghani fast version I've just grown was done in exactly 6 weeks.
