Hey All,
I will be starting some Auto seeds (that I was so kindly gifted) (@BigPretzel) when I get home from vacation later in the month.
I have never grown an Auto plant. I do know the general concept, but I have a specific question and thought this would be the place to ask.
I have two grow tents (5x5's), one for veg, and one for flower.
My tents are never full, I have a plant count of 5 maximum.
The lighting in the veg tent is 5000 K LED set at 18/6.
The lighting in the flower tent is a mixed bag. Plurple's, 3000 K, 3500K and UV lamp.
My question is where should I flower at?
Space is not an issue, and I have additional lighting that I can add if desired, in both 5000 K and 3500 K.
(Currently I'm running 450 watts in the veg tent, and twice that in the flower tent.) (Those are actual watts at the wall)
So, never having done this, my un-educated thoughts on the topic are, I should start the seedling in the 18/6 veg tent.
Then when they have started to flower on their own, I would move them over to the flower tent to take advantage of the color spectrum and the increased wattage.
But I would be losing 6 hours of light, and that's where the I don't know what I'm doing part comes in.
Any and all input is welcome. What do y'all think I should do?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
WillieP
