Grow Mediums How many plants should I put in my tent?

[Ryan Golightly]

Hey guys, just started my first autoflower grow and I was wondering how many plants I should put in my 30"×20"×62" tent for my second grow. I have 2 skunks going in 5 gallon fabric pots with soil currently but was thinking I might step up the game a little bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Grower's love!!✌

Depends on the Breeder and strain u choose. One to maybe 4. 5-6 if u go small strain small container and don’t expect much per plant. The more u run the less per plant you’ll see the less u run the more per plant you’ll see. Some strains will get big no matter container size so make sure u pick wisely lol. Good luck.

1 5G can fill that tent , 2 can be busting , what kind of light

Mizzo81 is right, strain dependent. Something small like gold glue, maybe 4, trained right, under good light. Or... 1 Hubbabubba Haze... and it'll probably need trimming to stay that small. Most of the mid sized strains, maybe 2, top and train to fill. 5 gallon is pretty big for autos indoor, I run 3 gallon in and 10s out.

I would say 2 also in 5 gal or 4 in 2gal, maybe 6 in 1 gal but as mentioned it is strain dependent.

It's a 600w LED, however I have no idea what brand.

I have a bunch of strains coming from the seedsman promo for 420 but I was gonna try to get some Pineapple Express squeezed in somehow. I'll have to do some research to see what brand light I have but I am using the fox farms nutes. Got the dirty dozen trip but I dont know if I should use that entire lineup on an auto.

I run cobs so a little different, but led I find about 25 "actual" watts per sq ft works out well for autos, photos want a lot more. Sounds like it is being called a 600w unit, wall draw is better to work from. I'm running 450 actual at the wall watts of cob led over 16 sq ft. And getting good results. That's right at 28.5 watts of 3500k per sqft.

As many as you can properly care for. It's almost like asking how many kids you should have. It totally depends on you and your situation. How many I can fit, is different than how many I can properly care for. I'd start with one, maybe two.

2 five gallon pots in that tent is probably already too big with a 600w light. If you do it right, that should yield a TON of pot.

When I wanted a variety of flavors, I would switch to 1g fabric pots and coco coir. Maybe 4 in that size?

Less is more!
