That would make two of us because I agree with you.

I moved the other thread to this one. Please donā€™t open multiple threads covering the same subject as it clogs the feed for othersā€™ questions.

I loved my grow dots. My grow dot fed plant yielded similarly to my Jacks plant in a direct 1 on 1 clone run. I mostly just donā€™t use em because I have lots of jacks and not a lot of money, it makes more sense to stick with the economy version of nutes and save grow dots for outdoors.

Yep! I also love Coco. Itā€™s the closest thing to hydroponics you can get without going totally hydroponic. I use Tribus instead of Fish Shit these days, but any good microbe is a must in coco. :100: silica is a great plan too.

The best advise I can give with autos is good soil ( I use FFSF on the bottom mix in some perlite FFOF in the middle and FFHF on the top ). Soak your seed for 18 hrs and drop it in its forever pot. 5 gall smart pot would be best. Once it breaks ground just mist it until it gets it 2nd set of leaves. From that point just lightly water her. Keep your temps in the 70ā€™s and your RH in the 60ā€™s. No nutrients until flowering starts then only give 1/2 the recommended dose. I typically only use molasses water and during mid flower Jacks bloom boost. For lighting I run 1 sp2000 and 1 ts1000 for 3 plants. LST is best or just leave them alone to do their thing. Happy growing.

I grow nothing anymore but autos and in pots outside no need for elaborate set up, start after last frost, if you time it right you can get 2 harvests a year. I do.

:point_up_2: This is what I would do if I could grow outside.
This avoids the fall humidity bud rot threat.

Yeah, me too! I did 2 autos outside this year as well as 2 clones. Autos were harvested Aug 15th, clones still have about 4 weeks until done. Donā€™t think they will be before the Vancouver rains start.
Next year, auto only outside. Photos in the tent where I can play Father Nature!

I heard its good to give them a period of complete darkness before harvest and also to try to harvest in the dark

Complete dark to flip is unecessary, it takes a week or two of the changed light cycle to trigger flowering. I like to give 48 hours dark prior to harvest but its arguable that it does anything. I read that the dark triggers a reponse in the plant that winter is fast approaching and pushes itself to finish up the trichomes. I dont haven the space to do it this approaching harvest. 1st time for everything.
