Wil's 2025 Winter Auto Grow

[wil2279]

Ok so I wanted to start my grow a few weeks ago, but it is what it is. This is a serious work in progress and im going to be winging it a little bit. I was going to grow photoperiod plants but at the last minute changed my mind and decided to grow autos because that is what I'm familiar with. I have a 2.5x5 grow tent and a 2x4 grow tent and i will be using both of them this grow.im going to grow 6 autos in the 2.5x5 and 4 in the 2x4. I will let everyone know what strains I will be growing soon.

For the bigger tent I am planning on growing one of each of the following cultivars: Dutch Passion Banana Blaze auto and Critical Orange Punch auto, Barney's Farm Purple Punch auto & Zkittles OG auto, Humbolt Seed Organization Blue Dream auto & UK Cheese auto.
For the 2x4 tent I am planning to grow 1 of each of the following: Dinafem Blue Cheese auto & Moby Dick XXL auto, Sweet Seeds Sweet Cheese auto & Sweet Gelato auto.
If i can't get seeds for any of these to germinate, I may have to substitute other cultivars and will let everyone know what I have subbed in at that time. I'm not planning to pop all these seeds at 1 time. I'm going to try popping the 6 for the bigger tent at 1 time and then wait a couple of weeks to pop seeds for the smaller tent. Possibly breaking that up into 2 and 2 with a week or 2 in between. If this grow goes well I'll be in trim jail for a long time. The goal is to have these all finished soon enough to free up a tent to start my tomato and pepper plants no later than the middle of April.

If any of the cultivars i grow this winter turn out really well, next fall/ winter, it may have a fem seed project. I have always wanted to try making my own fem seeds.

I currently have some hand mixed soil with various ammendments. I will fill the grassroots grow bags with the soil i already have mixed and the remaining pots will get filled with a soil mixture using down to earth bio live, earthworm castings, and coast of Maine lobster compost. I will be using some recharge as well as Neptune's Harvest liquid fertilizers to finish up the grow as I feel needed.

The 2x4 tent may get 3 or 5 gallon grow bags... the 2.5x5 tent will most likely get 5 gallon grassroots bags.

Here is the 2.5x5 tent. I'll get a pic of the 2x4 tent later.

Grow light in the 2.5x5 tent will be viparspectra P4000 and in the 2x4 tent will be 2 viparspectra xs 1500 pro lights.

I actually prefer an array of smaller lights as I will be running in the 2x4. My reasoning for this is if I have taller plants, I can put them on 1 side of the tent and run the light higher. And put the shorter plants on the other side of the tent and run them lower. I feel it is more versatile. If I was running a scrog then 1 large light would work just as well.
