2x2 Perpetual Autoflower harvest

You can do whatever you want.
I wouldn't give so much light or worry about temps if I were using what you are and for the purpose of having more plants in small space, unless it was near freezing.
with 12/12 in space like yours, I'd think ~1 oz per plant is pretty good. No idea with more light, and I used to use mostly photos on 12/12, doubt it makes much of a difference going to autos concerning the 12/12, though on a photo, I would want it to have shortest veg time the plant will allow

This plant was 6" tall and 13" across and yielded over an oz, grown in a 1 gallon.
I am nowhere to be pro like you though

First thing you'll want to figure out is what kind of harvest schedule do you want. A harvest every 2 weeks, every month, every 1.5 month......
Then figure if you can find some extra space for the starting in pots ( germinating and seedling stage requires a lot less light)
A 2x2 you should be able to run 6 x 1 gal pots. If you can squeeze space beside it for 2 x 1 gal pots with a reflective HD or lowes grow light that would be good enough to germ and start Use middle row directly under your 2x2 kight for the 2 your finishing, either side for the next batch to moved under it when those are done, and the other side for the ones just coming into the tent. Gonna be a lot of watering and attention needed...but you can do it.

And by using smaller pots it'll shorten the time to mature for the plants as well.
I was thinking of using those biodegradable cardboard starter pot that they sell in my town,so starting the seedling into those to give 0 transplant shock and put Them at ground level,at the base of the tent so they are away from strong light,more than 60 cm.When they get bigger I put directly in 1 gal pots and they should naturally grow and rise up toward light.How does It sound?
Plan B:I have a 60 watt light made from household bulbs 4x20 watt each.5000 and 3500 k.
Can I put the seedlings in a cardboard box big enough to veg Them for 2 weeks directly 1 gal pot and move Them into flowering?Will 60-80 watt Be enough?

Those might be a bit much actually. But you can unscrew em so no worry there. I've tried a few germ methods. seems I do best with 24 to 48 hrs in a glass of water in a wark dark place. when tail are 3/4 to inch long into final pot with head about 1/4 down. Tried paper towel thing and I kill em every time, and stright in soil it takes longer for me. Find or keep a couple 1 liter soda bottles, cut bottom out, unscrew lid and it makes a nice humidity dome for seedlings. I'm figuring logistics on a slightly larger scale myself..2 x4 and 2 x 2 tents using autopots....Looking for once a month harvest myself.
I d like the same,even a Little more like 1,5 month harvest,so I Need a cardboard box if I want to go Plan B.What do you Say about Plan A?
