@MavAndy, hi, she's not transplanted, but germinated directly in rockwool using an infra red heat mat.

Hey guys, awesome set up ^_^ I noticed you’ve had some problems with yellowing of your leaves, personally I think it looks like some light/heat stress also considering your schedule says that the plant is only 60cm from your light which is far too close for a 600 and 400 watt hid lighting (I have a 315 watt hid which I find I have to keep a good 2-3 feet away during flower and about 4ft away from a seedling). Check the manufacturers recommendations for optimum lamp hanging distance and adjust to that, all manufacturers recommend a different height so there is no black and white answer to “how high should my lights be” but you may find that it improves any issues you may have with your plant. Happy growing guys and good luck!!!

Nice looking plant .... I just got done harvesting a Northern Lights Auto and a AK-49 Auto myself, now awaiting harvest for my White Widow Auto, check them out if you can, I wish you success with rest of your grow and ...... HAPPY GROWING !!!!

@MavAndy, LED'S are just cheaper to run. I have two tents. I have 2000w Vander Life duel spectrum which only draws just a little over 200 watts and in the other is a Mars Hydro TS 600 which draws 100watts from the wall. I have the a fan in each which equals 40watts, and exhaust carbon filter fans in each which draw 29 watts each. That power draw is hovering around the 400w mark for the entire two set ups. Average that at 0.17p per KW Being used for 20 hours a day 7 days a week, and that adds up to around £35-40 per month, which is reasonable, especially for an Auto grow, if that was a photo period plant it would be less per month as I wouldnt need to have my lights on for 20 hours a day. Now think of that in terms of actually 600w hps, which actually draws 600w then you have all the other electronic things that go with that. LED'S are the way forward but you need to get reputable ones from well known companies that have solid reviews. Hope this helps

Hi guys, you will need a digital EC METER PEN, and also a digital PH tester pen. Here is the chart I used with canna.....http://www.canna-uk.com/electrical-conductivity My Auto's are plodding on just fine, I wish my AK47'S would grow a little faster but I am comparing them to my other plants which are being grown under a much more powerful light, and I should be more patient.

Hey! Newbie couple here, I was wondering, are your seedlings transplanted straight into rock wool? Or do you use coco and put the cubes under the rockwool? We are using hydroponics as our first grow and having some issues 🙈 our lamps are 400w and 600w hps and we have ionic bloom and grow as nutrients. Best wishes for your grow! 🍀 MavAndy

@MavAndy, thank you😊Same to you.
