@NoobiewithDoobie, LOL, bit misunderstanding about the pictures. I thought the people visiting this site, don't prefere pictures with lights on. Not sure about the plants thoughts about this. ;) I'm still waiting for my seeds from RQS, 6 day's after ordening they are not even shipped. Just read it can take up to 15 days, sigh. How fast did you get your's from RQS?

@NoobiewithDoobie, yes, good to compare! "They" say for every gallon, you grow one feet. So how much can you grow on a one feet tall plant? Ain't there some saturation point for light? Watching you progress already feels like a race, can't wait to start. Good Luck!

looks good to me. did you put the lights off before the photo? Read somewehere they don't like photo's with lights on. I also read lots of info about potsize, but only problem with bigger pots seem to be "to much plant, height" or "waste of soil". Both not real concern to me, yet. ;) Keep on growing!

@Peebos, I am not an expert myself but I did lots of research. Ofcourse pot size is important. But somewhere I read for auto flowering strains which are ready to harvest from seed in 8 weeks, they suggest smaller pots. I think your 18L is a bit overkill. "the perfect pot size for auto flower plants should be 1,5 to 2,5 gallons (5,6 to 9,4 liters)" I kept my pot at minimum because I may keep it as a stealth grow. This is my first proper grow but not the last. I will do massive grows in the future. But for this time I will keep things small, while trying to get the biggest buds possible. If I let the plant grow bigger, I will eventually have more buds, of course. But I can still get big buds in a small plant if I add more lights. I think we will see it in the following weeks, keep yours in 18L if you want. And then we compare our harvests. Best way to learn is through experience. Every forum or video etc. tells a different story. Although I believe this guy has good points: Search for growboss on youtube. Very educative videos.

@NoobiewithDoobie, I bought 2, 18 l pots and think for growing the 300W led should be enough for 2 plants. In flowering perhaps add some 12W cfl lights in the corners. Are you sure more light will produce more yield with the 4l pots you are using? Seems to me like the pot is the restraining factor. Would you not get more with just a bigger pot?

hello doobie, nice setup, will follow you. Just ordered my NL auto seeds from royal queen seeds and probably will start next tuesday with germinating. how much watts do your lights draw from the socket? I also have "300 watt led" but only uses 125 real watts, hence the question. Good Luck!
