Is it safe to run Autos and Photos at the same time? Scenario: 4x4 tent area 425 cfm 6 inch fan and carbon filter 600w hps/mh air cooled Strains: (all seeds are femmed and will be going in 3 gallon pots) Autos: DNA Genetics - 60 Day Wonder Green House Seeds - Northern Lights Auto Dinafem Seeds - Cheese Auto Photos: Green House Seeds - White Widow Humboldt Seed Organisation - Blue Dream Humboldt Seed Organisation - Trainwreck
I am just wrapping up an auto and photo period grow. Nothing exploded into failure or burst into flames, but I probably won't do it again. The autos would have preferred more light, and when the first auto was done I didn't have anywhere to put it for the 2 days of darkness prior to chopping.
well i was thinking of vegging the photos for about 70 days anyway....which is about when the autos will be done.... and i have an 8x4 tent which i im using only 4x4 right now...so on the other side is dark...i can just put them over there
Vegging the photoperiods until autos are done would solve the problems I ran into. Assuming you keep their height in check it sounds like a winning idea. Got any pics of how you blocked off your tent? That's something I'm considering doing. The 1kw light isn't quite enough to do the whole 4x8 tent and running a second light isn't an option, not to mention I'm going to stick to 4-5 plants anyway. My ambition while planning proved to be more then I am comfortable with in reality lol.
Stay tuned to the grow....its the 2nd one in my sig....(indoor ledger #1) i didnt even build my tent yet lol....its still in the box...i have to clean up my basement on friday to make room for the tent.... it looks like this now
^that's how my basement looked before I started growing down there. Previous flooding left moldy cardboard and paper stuck to the floor. Hose, sprayer filled with bleach, deck brush, wetvac... 8 hours later shit was proper.
Clean your basement up!!! The only thing that should be in a basement are guns, food, water, and cannabis! I keep a 30 day supply should we have a disaster then many guns to fend off the looters. To answer your question though yes its fine to run both at the same time but Autos can take 24 hour light so when you go into flowering you will be cutting there light time in half. I have 2 tents. One thats 4x4x7 other is 2x2x4. My OG Kush #18 is in my bigger tent and in my smaller one I have 2 Paradise Seeds Wappa Autos, 1 Dutch Passion Think Different Auto and 1 Dinafem fruit Auto. When its lights on in my big tent I throw my autos in.
