Live Stoner Chat New auto flowers, NEED HELP!

[Mykal2101]

In a 2x2, the autos, unless stunted should more than fill. I usually figure 2 sq ft per small plant.

The photos will continue to grow, but that in itself is an issue. In a 5 month cycle, 2.5 months in veg, and 2.5 months in flower, roughly, 1 of those photos could be large enough to max a 4x4.
A 2x2 is 4 sq feet.
A 4x4 is 16.


Small tent photo runs are doable, but the norm is usually running 12/12 from seed.
This is a photo I ran last fall, she started when my autos were around 35 days, so she got about 45 days in veg before I flipped the lights, she would be on the walls of a 3x3.I also have almost 7 feet of headroom...View attachment 1137236

Wow those are beautiful, your right I may have to look at different avenues for them thx for all your help

My default is to do the same... I always bite off more than I have room to handle. Sometimes I can just toss them outside, or, better yet, find a local buddy that can take them.

I hate cutting good genetics out.

It can be done, you'll have your hands full tho!

Might look at training like mainlining also called manifolding. Would allow you to shape the plant, and keep trimming them back without too much difficulty.

Welcome to AFN! I'd let those pots dry out for a few days

Thanks for the response! The plants are doing very well now with your guys tips so thank you. But yet again I’ve encountered another problem. There’s snow on the ground where I live. The plants are on a 20/4 cycle with a fan continuing blowing on the plants. I noticed this morning that the temp went waayyy down. It was at about 66-69 degree towards the end of the no light stage this morning and the humidity was sky high! The RH was at over 80.. but once the light kicks on and everything is running everything balances out nicely. What to do? Why did the humidity get so high, should I switch the no light faze during midday when outside temps are usually higher?

That's not a problem in veg, 68 is ideal for medium you may want to add a tube heater if it gets much colder though.

Also you want high rh for veg 50-60 in flower. Are you extracting air from tent and keeping fresh air in?

A clip on fan blowing lightly across seedlings will toughen them up to hold big buds also. So if you don't have one may want to start looking.

Yeah I have fans sucking clear air in and pulling old air out and they look like they’re toughening up.. but the humidity was so damn high this morning... I left a half gallon jug of water in there so I’m thinking it raised the rh? The temp went down so humidity probably raised also.. but usually my RH is about 45-60

How do you guys think they’re looking? Any suggestions? I add nutrients to my water schedule, I mist them about twice daily but I give them an actual GOOD watering with nutrients every other day or so

Stop watering shouldn't need water but maybe once a week at most. Do the lift pot method as explained earlier. Stop misting also. Only mist would be a foliar spray and they aren't ready for that yet.
