Congratulations on your first baby sprout! It is exciting and I still get excited when I see the first sign of life.

Most people change the lighting to 18/6 after they all sprout, but some like to leave it 24/7 for a week or two.

Thanks I’ll keep an eye on them. Btw I read your posts about men and gadgets and got a big kick out of it. You may have started out a little sexist because you were stereotyping all men as gadget addicts. Your quite the conversationalists. Also the post about grammar, I do need to read some posts more the once to decipher the code, good thing I studied cryptography. Look forward to your future help with my inexperience. Btw I read about everyone that replies to my post

@Zepman55 i would them get a little bigger before you switch to 18-6 schedule
I will normally leave them on a 24-7 for the first week or two tops and Then switch
And i switch to 12-12 at first signs of flowering with autos week three or four usually from seed
Auto veg fir a short time fyi
I will normally start them in cups and transplant after-a week or two again depending on growth

Thanks for the info @Countryboyjvd1971 when I do transplant I was thing of scrogging at least two but not topping and I just read you journal on the Gold leaf scrogging you did and read you topped the plant as well my question is how long after transplanting do I wait to top? Next will the yeild be better if I just Scog the same or lower if I don’t top? I am a first time grower and have WW autos.

Ok autos need to be topped at the right time I normally don’t suggest topping of autos to a new grower
A scrog screen works best with one plant in my opinion
Ive never scrog a auto so two or more may be ok since they grow fast

Ok so far ILGM seeds are batting 800 or 4 out of 5.


I think it’s time to take the tops off of those girls and put up a Screen of green what does everyone think
