Live Stoner Chat Buds Buddy says "What's Up Doc" !!!

[Buds Buddy]

High to all you Rollin' Stoners !!! I'm new to this site & to growing Auto's so I'm hoping to get some tips from you pro's. I have done 3 photo period grows (nothing to brag about as the yields weren't great). My 1st grow was 6 plants in a 2 x 4 x 6 tent & 4 ended up being males & were discarded.
I used bag seeds that time. This grow went through 8 weeks of veg with CFL's & 8 weeks of Bloom under a 250 watt HPS. Got a total of 4.5 oz. off 2 plants.
2nd grow was 10 plants in a 4 x 8 x 7 tent (bag seeds) under 2 Cheapo 600 watt LED's & 6 LED Spot Lights during Veg & a 1000 Watt Sun Systems XXXL Hood with Hortilux Eye bulb along with the 6 LED Spotlights during flower. Averaged 2.5 oz. per plant.
3rd Grow was just 2 plants in a 2 x 4 x 5 tent using 1 - 600 watt LED & 4 LED Spotlights through the entire grow. Still just 2.5 oz. per plant.
Topped 3 times during Veg. & went with a Water / Water / Feed schedule using a complete line up of General Hydroponics Nutes.
So now I'm ready to try some Auto's & see how that works out. I just bought a New 4' x 4' x 7' tent & a 600 Watt Meizhi LED Light with Grow & Bloom Switches. I'm using a 4" Inline Fan with Carbon Filter & Duct Muffler, 7 LED Spotlights for side lighting & 4 - Clip on fans. Tent is set up & ready to go !!!
I ordered 5 different kinds of Auto Seeds (3 seeds ea.) to try this out. They should be here in about a week.
Still have to go buy some Bio-Bizz or Plagron, Perlite, Coco & Vermaculite since all I have on hand is OF & it's too hot a mix for this (I think). I'll be using 5 gallon grow bags.
Still planning on using the same nutes as I have full qt.s of everything.
I have a few questions though .... Will my lighting be enough for this size tent ?
How high to keep the light during each phase with Auto's ?
How many Auto's should I grow in a 4' x 4' tent ?
I hear Auto's grow smaller & with photo period plants I wouldn't put more than 4 in a tent this size.
Would 6 Auto's be OK ?
Anyways, I've been reading the Forums here for about 2 weeks & found most the info I was looking for on my own. But sometimes I just gotta ask.
Looking forward to talking with you all soon. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks !!!

Welcome to AFN, I think 4 is good

Ordered Heavy Weight 2 Vast 2 Fast, Dutch Passion Critical Orange Punch, Pyramid White Widow, Heavyweight Wipeout Express & Seedstockers BCN Critical XXL. Those 5 are all Auto's. I get 2 Heavyweight Diesel Drift, 2 Heavyweight Midnight Mass & 2 Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl Fem Seeds Free with the order. As you can probably tell I like Indica dominant strains (Couch lock strains).
Have another order ready soon as Bitcoins post. That order is for: Green House White Rhino, White Widow X Big Bud, Barneys L.S.D., White Label Purple Bud & 00 Seeds Northern Lights. I get free : 1 Herbies Afghan Kush, 4 - Herbies Gorilla Glue & 3 - Herbies Girl Scout Cookies. That should last me about a year & if I clone the Regular fems ... a very long time. I curently have an OG Fire & a Pie Face plant re-vegging in a small tent.
Read an article on re-vegging so just wanted to try it & see what happens. So far, so good. They both got several sets of new leaves. The leaves are mostly still the rounded edge leaves but I see the normal serrated leaves are starting to form again. Just something I wanted to play with for the experience.

hi and @Buds Buddy
do you have enough light ? hmm well i think you got about 10 lights if that aint enough
how high to keep the lights ? hmm start at 36" and let the plant grow into the light.as every set up is different thats just a starting point,will need experimenting with.
how many autos in a 4x4 hmm 5 at a push 4 is the norm as a plant can get 2 foot round.
many have squeezed 6 in before,running outa room is a good problem to have.

been lurking for some time or first day here ? im archie gemmill your butlins blue coat hi de high site rep a few things well worth a read.
