@AutoGrowerMo That is an amazing plant! Just look how far Indoor Autos have come.

They have come a crazy long way even in the short amount of time Iâve been growing them. I only got converted over to autos maybe 3 years ago and the difference between now and even then is crazy. Hell 3 years ago I didnât even know what an autoflowr was and here yâall are been rocking them out over a decade!

I was kicked off a forum for teaching topping of Autos as an unproven practice 
I have been growing them for a minute.

I did an experiment when we first went into our bigger room, let one grow the way it was going to grow, topped one, supercropped one, yanked the top over on one at like day 30, and lst one super early and often. The topped one took the longest to finish and returned the smallest yield, still finished nice but I personally will not be topping autos again unless I am forced to grow in a height restricted space or something.

I was looking at those. I seriously considered it. About half the price of the one that I bought. But I can add more sensors if I want, though the reservoir sensor is the only one of interest.
Many controllers use wifi connectivity and cloud computing, which Iâd rather avoid. The one I got has a choice of wifi and Bluetooth, which Iâll use.

Man I donât know what Iâd do without wifi on the controllers. I donât live where my grows are at so have to be able to monitor them and make adjustments from my phone

The one he posted was the traditional one u gotta set on the controller itself! I have the wifi version for rh and temp! Obviously more expensive tho!

I have a bunch of 10+ yr old freebie auto seeds. (If they are viable) I doubt they would be up to todayâs standards and I have way better lined up.
What should I do?

Put them all in 3 gallon containers take a clipping real early like root it and make it to male. If one of them is a banger dust something with it lol. Personally I would probably just grow something newer, but sometimes can maybe find some goodies in the older stuff, itâs not going to be anywhere near as worked as more modern stuff though. Turn it into a project, or feed them to the birds lol

Auto Birdseed. I have much fresher seeds of newer breeds.
The photos might be decent. One Romulan didnât make it so I threw a couple of old Jack Herer seeds direct into the pot to see if one grows.
I only have room for 1 large or 4 small plants every 3-4 months so I have high quality seeds to last me years. I doubt if Iâd get to the old auto feeebies.
I see members with big or multiple tents, rooms, outdoor gardens and if Iâm being honest I get jealous when people have lots of plants and varieties on the go.
Nana would say âcount your blessings and think of all the sober stoners who donât even have a gardenâ or something like that.

Can always just add stuff as you go, thats what we always we do. We almost never completely outfit a large space all at once. The current room I think has been through like 3 major changes in 2 years, and the first couple runs we only ran a little under half of it and it took months to get it to that point. When we were running less than 1/2 of it we were easily able to 6-8 plants, now that we are running the whole thing itâs hell fitting 8 plants there. Having bigger space doesnât always mean more plants, and they come with a bunch of their own headaches and each one even if built the exact same will still have a mind of its own you have to dial in. Sometimes being in a tent can be a blessing in disguise.
Bigger rooms are cheaper per square foot to operate and have advantages, but you have to buy all bigger everything and it can be rather pricy to put one together unless youâre a thrifty shopper and kind of crafty.
We put the walls up only had to buy the lumber maybe $100 had the wall board already from a project like 7 years ago lol, then got the portable and dehumidifier used on marketplace for less than $300 for both, the aci fan and controller picked up off marketplace for about 1/2 what they go for new, did our own electrical probably $300-$400 including the sub panel, breakers, outlets, and wiring had some of it had to buy a lot of it. Carbon filter got out of the back of a grow shop. Box was covered in dust could barely tell what it was but it wasnât opened give $100 for it saved like $280 for a 8x40in. The hydro stuff in it maybe $600 total including all the air pumps, both reservoirs, buckets, fittings, tubing, air stones,etc, but we got the air pumps over the course of multiple grows as we kept upping the air going to the roots, and started off with only a 6 site system not a 8 or 9. That can be done a lot damn cheaper though than the way we did it, if I had to do it again itâd be like $300-$400 for a 8 site. Panda film I donât remember what it was but it wasnât much. Then the wall fans they are some of the best you can but they are cheap hurricane white plastics off Amazon, they are less than the stupid cannabis brand fans and they lash forever if you keep them clean. What gets you is the electric bill in bigger spaces and until you get it dialed youâll probably get more per foot in a tent than you do a room. Sometimes I miss growing in tents when everything was simple lol. If we werenât always testing different light and stuff I wouldnât run big spaces.
