    Default Jumping from autos to photos advice

    I want to give photos a try so could do with knowing what I can’t do compared to autos obviously the main one is don’t be opening the drobe whilst lights out, I have grown one before just through veg whilst growing autos but i binned it as it got too big, so I know training is something I’ll have to do
    cheers peeps
    I smoke pretty much all of the time so if I waffle shit please forgive me lol

    Others will chime in but I'll add "you can't let them get too big during veg time."

    I'm jumping from photos to autos advice with my current grow.

    I'd recommend a simple dial-timer and not those fancy wifi smart plugs for timers. Power outages can really screw your cycle and they don't seem to reset well enough. Doesn't matter so much with autos but with photos... yeah.

    Best,

    You can open up Durning lights out. As long as your light in the room you are in is not over 1 PAR it has no effect on the plant. I do it all the time. Even with the TV and Computer on, there is less then 1 PAR at the opening of the tent door. JMO

    Whoa! I had a mentee say these exact words to me. Long story short... disaster. I will send you one. Seriously. I'll send you one across the damned planet if it means you'll use a timer. Btw, I like 10P to 10A. I can still see the girls in the morning and in the evening and it mitigates the temp swings.

    Gonna sound stupid now but I should be attending to them when lights are on shouldn’t I and also when I usually sort my autos out I turn the light down so the room doesn’t light up will that still be ok to do
    Cheers

    Lol I’ll get one thanks m8 the funds weren’t the problem for that it was just I’m running my extension lead from a double socket and I wouldn’t be able to plug the timer in the other one would I and I’m sure I’ve seen some things around about Stetson ones being dangerous after power cuts and things or am I wrong there bud and thanks for the times they seem a pretty good one to use
    Cheers bud
