Switching to photos

[Grumpy Toad]

I've been growing auto for about 2-1/2 years. Decided to try a couple photos. I'm comfortable with the light change and have gotten a handle on light leaks.

My question is: what else do I need to consider when switching from auto to photos? BTW, if it matters I'm going to grow S.A.G.E. from TH Seeds. From what I can tell it seems to be a hardy, easy to grow cultivar.

Thanks & Peace,

There isn't really a difference. Just you decide when flower starts. With your experience you will see what the plant needs as you go.

I find photos alot easier than autos. You'll smash it

you will need to think about height and room more as they fill out ALOT more

Yea really not much difference other than you pick when to flip to 12/12 or whatever you decide the flower ligjt cycle to be.

That is something I need to watch. I have a short tent. But I am good at training and SCROG so I'm hoping to keep in control.

My rule to my grows is flip when half the size you want the final plant.

They fill out loads in 2 weeks

So, I grew two photo strains. The fastest growing plant developed nanners about 3 weeks into flower. Chopped immediately. The photos are of S.A.G.E. from TH Seeds at 9-1/2 weeks. Start water only and figure week to 10 days until harvest.

Shame about the nannas but we all get them from time to time. You did a good job for your first photo run. Lovely bit of training.

They`ll double and more like triple in size when you flip to 12/12 in those first 3 weeks and will be hungriest they`ll ever be so ferts need upping slightly before dropping them back a wee bit after 4 weeks.
