Wow that's alot for that size space I think. Dinafem gear gets pretty big, specially in hydro style growing with soilless mediums.... This is in a 5 gallon pot, but I've ran their cheese xxl and trained the crap out of it in my 2'x4' tent and 3 would be the maximum before Soave would be an issue. If the plants are to close together you highly increase the chances of molds and fungus and bugs and stuff because it's a lot harder to thoroughly get air throughout each plants mass.... I just don't want to see you run into PM or bud rot issues and lose crop.....View attachment 654009

Pete that's a real beaut, and i appreciate the advice. I agree and had considered it might be a little tight in there. Although, it's really dry here right now and will be for the duration of the grow. Intake air will be sub 30% relative humidity, and PM and bud rot are at a bare minimum in the cold, dry, and snowy winters here.

Fellas I'm all ears for advice as I've never grown out any of these Dinafem ladies before. I have done my homework on as many journals on each strain I could find though.

Sorry if I came off slightly pushy, I meant no harm or offense, just wanted to get that info to you quickly if it's going to be of some help, and also I'm packing up hear for hunting in the morning and frantically doing that. I apologize for seeming short and some what pushy with my opinion.
It would be possible with some training, pruning and tons of air flow, and if it's something you still would like to do is more than happy to help with that too. I have pushed the limits of my 2x4 tent and was rewarded with a pound dry weight, but there's was literally no space what so ever. It was 4 girls in 3 gal pots running drain to waste.... It was crazy.... Srry again for the first post...

Pete your good Bro! No offense taken! I'm pretty chill and it's difficult to offend me. I'm comfortable with all the more advanced photo techniques fim'n, topping, mainlining, etc. LST would actually be pretty sedate.

But I'm on the fence with that stuff as I know the autos have a limited window. This will be a hand feed op. I've got lots of time to spend on them too.

Thanks @Slater for the kind words, training autos is a great way to use any space more efficiently,one plant could be trained to fill that space,but if your teying to cram max amount(of plants) tall and thin will be a better choice..Heres a Dinafem kush n cheese from my current grow

I to have learned the lesson that a few great plants are much better than a bunch of good plants. For a 2x3 I'd pretty much be screwed with one plant. I run 2 in each of my 4x4 flood tables and luckily the space isn't a tent, it's open so the overflow can hang outside of the tray. It's your call though we are just offering what we have experienced. Again best of luck to you.

Buddlee. Hid kicks ass, second best but a strong second best. Unless your crazy like some of us and are converting a panel or just want to save a few watts head over to diy. I'm working hard over there getting folks set up.

Bud honored to have ya drop in bro! I think you hit the nail on the head. Rattle them spears! Keep em skinny, trim, and athletic. Like a good woman should be. respect bro and I hope you drop in on the journal when I get it up and running.

Big I feel ya bro blessings and respect for looking out. You fellas are top notch here!

The way MJ affects me I need to rotate every few days between several strains. I'd love to be able gro big or go home, but that's just not an option for me right now. Ideally I'd put these 5 ladies in twice the space.

The Blue Cheese was a freebie and I'm not sure I will even crack it. If it does get cracked it will probably take the most abuse as I would try stuff on it first. The canary in the coal mine if you will.

This grow is for my meds personally. I don't flip it or share it so big yields isn't important to me. I'd be over the moon with a zip outta each plant.
