I was thinking about this the other day and I believe I missed your point.. you might of been asking about my trick at
flowering to get size out of these autos sometimes.... well, here it is:
First off, even autos need a dark period, why many say 18/6.. but, we all tend to want to push things... so 20/4 is a
good compremise.. now here's the trick.. soon as the female shows sex, put her into a 12/12 light schedule for
10 days.. what I believe this does on most autos, the photo period is always lying dormant, the plants tend to do the
"big stretch" more so by doing this... I discovered this by doing experimenting over 5yrs...
I have to say the most important part about starting autos is the first pot... they seem to love a 1gal pot... and don't
start them in felt, you want the larger roots during veg to develop first, soon as they show sex, into a 3gal felt pot..
I'll be running my own auto thread here very soon... so keep an eye out
