@SEGA_Y_Griega, this is the problem - my energy bill now costs almost as much as my mortgage and is set to rise by another 32% in October - in this current climate I need to use less power, not more. With autos I had the light on full power consuming 100w for 18 hours, so it's not cost-effective, but using it only for clones and seedlings I can have it dimmed right down from 5w to 20w. I have a 500w LED in my main tent just for photos, but that is mostly on for only 12 hours and can yield 500+ grams, so it's justifiable. I still have Fast Buds Mexican Airlines, Wedding Cheesecake and Orange Sherbet seeds, so maybe another time in future when I'm less broke. Good luck with your grows and enjoy those buds brother/sister. :facepunch:

@Sybarite,thanks bro :wink::handshake:i advise you to try again with more powerful light, cars can be quite productive with good light:thinking_face:

@Sybarite,In a couple of weeks I will have large buds :sunglasses:

@SEGA_Y_Griega, your diaries look great. This light was never intended for autos, but was specifically for clone/seedlings only There just happened to be enough space to experiment with autos, but none I tried were comparable with photoperiod strains for yield, flavour or effects, so from my perspective the outcome does not justify the input. I've done my experiment and decided autos are not for me, at least not for the foreseeable, so will stick to growing photoperiods for now.
