New member. First post.

I have recently received some regular HBD and Auto Assassin seeds (10 each)

I'm currently setting up my stealth(important) cabinet. The cabinet has good height at 55" but a small footprint just over a square foot.

Im using hempy buckets with100% perlite and going with Docbud's OC+ method as I already own these materials.

Here's the rub: my first priority is to do a seed run, so I would like to run as many plants as possible initially for better odds at breeding success. 2 liter bottles would be perfect in the space sog style as i could run 6 at a time and separate the dudes to collect pollen easier. Later I could go with larger pots and just chop the males.

Trouble is, I know autoflowers like larger pots and I have searched but can't find any results from 2 liters. Yields aren't a huge issue as we are talking strictly personal stash. However, I may increase later to get more for my trouble.

Also, using 8 23w CFL, mostly blue spectrum (65k) and maybe a couple of red (27k). This will be the most practical starting point for me. There is room to add a bulb or two as needed but thats like12000 lumens for a small footprint. Think I have ventilation and odor control worked out but still require a test run.

Thoughts?

As a primary goal can I grow healthy breeding plants this way? Pot size and lighting being my biggest limitations.

Secondarily, what kind of yield per plant might I expect? As I said, its personal stash and 14 or so grams a month keeps me pretty good but more is always better.
 
Just a little bump.

I know someone has some experience with 2 liters
 
Yeah I was thinking I'd start with a 6:2 blue/red ratio and then bring it to 50/50. Open for suggestions on that. Probably add a bulb or two for side lighting depending upon canopy.

Definitely going to check out that grow.thanks
