    Ok I currently have a small grow tent,
    with x1 WW plant just going into its 3rd week of flower.
     
    Anyway I stupidly started off x2 autos not realising the autos needed 18/4 light
    there whole lifecycle. The autos are just over a week old but doing ok.
    I was think of doing an outdoor grow and leaving them outside, but not sure on that at the moment.
     
    So at the moment I putting the autos in with my WW when the lights are on,
    eg for 12 hours and taking the autos out just before lights go out.
    Once taken out of my grow tent I've got the autos under a very small T5 CFL light.
     
    This is becoming a hassle, I need a cheap lighting option for a sort of vegging light for these autos.
    I know they don't stay in veg that long, but just want to get them as big as poss.
     
    I understand if I just keep them in my grow tent on 12/12, they basically won't grow
    anywhere as big as they should.
     
    Anyone give me some sort of solution??
     
     
     

     
  2. Leave the WW in the dark and let the autos go 18/6, the theory being that as the night gets shorter now in the uk, the days longer your WW has say another 4 weeks to go, the WW will quickly adapt to the local conditions as will he autos
