Yep. Even cooler is when they start building those buds and begin to put that wonderful fragrance in all your air.
Which brings me to the next question: Do you have a ventilation system of any sort? I don't remember. Are you in a closet or a tent? I guess I could go back and see if this is addressed.

It's a closet in a backroom of the house, so it's out of the way. It's only me, anyway. I do not have a ventilation system; I have a fan. Supposedly, with Candy Cane it smells sweet not overly skunky...idk. Looking forward to finding out...want to smell that beautiful smell.

As you guys have seen, I have 4 girls in a 3 X 5 space. Should I rotate them to different spots under the light ballast? Not that it makes a difference with amount of light just different angle, spacing, air flow....???
I give all mine a 1/4 turn everyday. 
We don't usually turn ours intentionally. We have a Scrog for the flowering plants, and the veg plants we just leave be. Probably because we have a time lapse set up in the flower and we are used to not moving them.

Hey....just askin...I'm on day 5 and have not switched off the lights yet. I've adjusted the height of the ballast and the light intensity but the lights have been on the whole time....should I start 18/6 or 20/4 or just keep it going because everything is going good. I live in Texas and usually it gets hot and so I would shut down for a while. But the excess heat hasbt been an issue and the lights arent as "hot" as I thought it mignt be...and I have inadvertently touched the ballast...and yes it's hot
Give them girls some time to rest, I like 18/6 over the 20/4 purely for the electricity consumption.

Hi Camper!
I am all caught up on your journal now! My first grow was so exciting, and I learned everything here. I am on my third grow now, and it's even more exciting! My biggest problem was trying not to love them to death. It's hard to back off and let them do their thing. Sounds like you already understand that part!
Good luck, and happy buds in your future!

I've heard autos should run on a 20/4 schedule, but can be on a 18/6. Definitely let them have some darkness. They do grow in the dark. We have seen that on our time lapse.
I've run autos on all sorts of cycles from 11/13 to 24/0 with no issues with any of them. I find they do better on 18/6.
