@BigDaddyK, cheers!

@FarmerJohn, I have tried using mh and it only seemed to matter to photo period plants ( 12 hrs) give it a go but to lessen the stretch I'd get them closer to the lights :+1:

@BigDaddyK, yea i didnt think to raise them for the first time running autos. Seems like people get good yeild and growth from minimal lighting so was testing the waters. You dont think MH in veg would do them any better then HPS for flower? Have you tried both ways? Maybe it was the pheno or the super soil wasnt quite as strong as i thought. Going to be using a different growing method i think, instead of the super soil and microbe tea approach. See if i can get some bigger yields. Wasnt sure if i was pushing to hard or not enough with the super soil in there. Or watering to much with teas and should have used plain water or more diluted teas. Running through the variables and trying to tweak what i think could help improve things. I think keeping them closer to the light in veg and doing some training to promote side brancing and short stature should do the trick for me, got a new recipe ready as well so we will see what happens next run! Happy to be stimulated and learning more with these autos. So used to running photo period plants haha.

@FarmerJohn, you can either put something under the plant to make it closer to the light or lower the light , I prefer the 1st as moving the light up and down is a pain for me , but either way you will find the closer the bushier - happy growing :+1:

@BigDaddyK, thanks for the input! I was nervous to keep them so close with the hps light but im going to switch to mh for veg this time and raise the plants up like you suggested :)

@BigDaddyK, its an xxl sunlight hood running on 600watts

@Longhunter, thank you very much im excited as well to see how it all finishes up as well!

@XxxAuto, i updated the list to be more accurate to what was added. Hopefully that clears things up for you a bit!

@XxxAuto, Most of the products listed are for microbe tea brewing. The numbers given are rough not exact to the brew. Everything ends up being diluted to 5-10 gallons and more food or "fertilizers" are added gradually to feed the microbes. The initial dose of photo plus is 60ml to 5 gals so i just put 30ml a gal because i start my tea brews to 2 gals of water. The budswell is just guanos not a fertilizer and the rate is 30ml a gal. I do 30 to 60ml for the 2 gal tea and end uo diluting and dont add more. Numbers seem high but they arnt really that crazy. Ive got a lot in my arsenal and just using a little bit of anything that will benifit the microbes and growth of the autos. Everything is organic except a few products which is used sparingly in comparison. It is all diluted as well.
