When is the best time to switch 12/12 lighting? I’m at 39 days, almost 18in tall inside a 63in tent. I’m thinking now is the time.

Looks like you’re ready to flip to 12/12 now. But you could keep them in veg longer if you want larger plants. At this point it’s up to you. Looking very nice btw. Well done so far. 👍

I'm just wondering if my plants are healthy, and if there is anything else I should be doing. I am new been doing alot of research, reading, following others. They weather has been hot lately around 33 degrees during the day and around 17-19 at night. Will that affect them alot?

Any guess on how much longer until harvest? I'm aiming for 20% amber or more for the couch lock but I don't want to be waiting for trichomes that don't actually turn. Since this is an indica I'm sure I should see a transition from to amber it's just hard to tell if cloud or clear

When to switch to 12/12? The plants are about 10 to 15 cm (4-6inch) I know they gonna explode when going into flowering, but I have not a lot of space. The lights can go up for another 35 cm (14inch). Thinking about waiting when they are 20 cm (7.8inch). What do you think?

Most of my focus so far has been growing. Any harvesting/curing/hash recipes/tips out there aside from dark and cool? I know whiskey mellows with age. Are there methods that affect or enhance taste and smoothness?

This is my first auto and considering there is recommended 2 weeks left is she in a good position for a decent yield? I’ve heard 1-2 oz is normal for an auto but I can’t even dream of these buds getting that big over the next few weeks. Should I have stayed at 18/6 to perform btr

Won't cut yet or should I?
Am I doing this right? The top arrow is the way I'm bending her, or do I bend her back, bottom arrow? I already stressed her out enough. I defoliated to get rid of shade, bent more. Tied down the twigs. Comments needed lol 👊

Is there any way I can prolong the veg stage to allow the pant to get a bit bigger. I was thinking if I topped her she will be forced to put out new growth but I have no idea if this is possible with auto flowers. Could this be detrimental to the plant? What should I do?

With autoflowers, at what point do you switch from metal halide to high pressure sodium lights? When the pistils first show or when you actually start to see budlets?

Guys I have a question about ppm. So only my last grow I always used ro water. My ppm was only as high as 500-600. Now does this mean as the plant gets bigger I have use non-ro water later on in order to get it up?? As long as my ph is good and nutrients are not too high why not?

Hello brothers and sisters... Plant this baby girl with her tap root facing down? I mean, I'm sure down is the way to go, but I get a question so might as well make sure... I'm putting her in Promix. I want to make her life as Kushy as possible. 😂
