1st Indoor Grow - 1000 Watt / 5'x5' Tent

just saying autoflowering strains are meant for early finishing outdoors. indoors, they're unnecessary, and are kind of a waste- indoors, you control everything except genetics. with AF, you have no control over size (veg time) so it's just not ideal as veg/flowering is outta your hands and AF strains usually sacrifice yield/quality for finish time (the drawbacks of the ruderalis bloodline).

feminized seeds are ok. i've found, years ago, that fem seeds have more problems/weaknesses. they just didn't seem to grow as robust a plant. fast forward- i believe there's more than one approach to create fem seeds used nowadays, some work better than others. however, i still hear mixed reviews, and would personally avoid them.

still, go with what you have. get a good first run in- focus on growing the plants as best you can. if you grow a good plant, you'll get good buds. i'm sure, with good care, it'll be as good or better than most of the higher-quality stuff you can buy on the streets.

you can always change your genetics and fine tune your grow for good yields as it goes. work hard, keep your expectations in check, and never give up- you'll be fine this time, and down the line with persistence.

Looking very nice for your first time growing. Since they are all fem seeds you won't have to worry about males. Just be sure you've got enough room because they will explode when you change the lights.

expect little in terms of yield first time 'round.

i'd ditch the autoflower for indoor. AF has its place, and its not in a growroom. focus on the normal stuff. i'd also try to avoid feminized seeds- seem to always have more problems than the natural seed strains. bagseed sucks mostly, don't do it.

my negative rant is over.

I have to disagree. Ive grown out quite of fems and have seen no difference. Just playing both sides! :tiphat:

Hi guys sorry about no update in a long time. It's almost a month now from my last update. I'm about to post some pictures.
I'm week 7 in the Auto-flowers.

Vegging still, 18/6
Master Kush = 7 weeks
Dutch Passion = 8 weeks

I've made a few master kush clones also :)
After the auto-flowers are at week 10.. I will harvest, then switch the lights to 12/12 to flower all the regular strains.

I want to keep a mother plant for the Master Kush using a clone. You think a 200Watt CFL will do?

HippyJohnny

Looks like a happy family in there.

The little girl looks very nice and healthy yield will depend on so many things, but in a five gallon and well taken care of I would think at least 2-2.5 zones dry.
I have only had one run in my tent and I had only a 750. I got about 1 lb... with 12 plants.

Next run I am going to only run 9 I think.

Keep up the good work.
