New Grower NEXT GROW ADVICE? HOW MAY PLANTS/POT SIZE ETC.

[ZKJ]

Hi im thinlig what to do for my next grow and thought i would ask some more experienced growers for advice on ehat they would do with my set up size etc.

Tent: 0.8x0.8x1.6m
Fan: systemair rpk 4"
Light: mars hydro 600w panel

Thats the main things so now im trying to work out what would be best like the number of plants,pots size or photo/auto.

Im currently doing 4 plants in soil in 11litre pots,im thinking of getting some smart/root pots.was wondering if one big pot like 56 to even 80 litre.or would it be to big for tent size/ not enough time to fill pot in veg with autos.or was thinking like 2 pots at 30ish litre.or 4 at 16litres.

Here is size of set up in pics

The plants are sat on a paving grid thing in a tray to give roots air from bottom and stop them sitting in run off.

Ive had a few issues as u can see the tall plant is bare.and shouldnt have done lst short plants when having tall one.defeats point of it lol and prob shouldnt of topped 2 as one of em is real small.although theh are younger.oh and ignore the small carbon filter i got it free.going to get a rhino profilter for next one.

I have considered a dwc for 1 big plant but have big bag of perlite and some organic nutes to get rid of so thinking what would be best with soil.im not sure if 4 fast and vast or think differnt in 16litre pots would have enough space in there.hence the post. Thanks for any advice.

Oh and i do have a 400w ballast/hps bulb and a 600w ballast/hps bulb and hood to try.but did spend £250 on the led so be shit if didnt need it

I would do 4-6 plants in 11 liter pots. I don't think the bigger pots will be worth it. You can take a string and pull down the higher flowers if needed. I usually FIM, but never top.

Hello every body in the wonderful world of cultivation!! I'm brand new at this grow thing.. I just moved to colorado from arkansas where i'm not a criminal and i can be open about my endeavor.. So i got some autoflower seeds from a very reputable source and i started a white widdow then 3 weeks later i started an ak.. Both in dwc under full spectrum led using gh flora nova one part solution... Only thing i know about growing is what i've read and seen on you tube.. I hear some say don't train i hear some say why not.. Some say 20-4, some say 24, some say 18-6, one guy my wife read from said 12-12 and the guy at our local hydroponics store said 12-12 takes twice as long to finish but yeilds twice as much... I honestly just am trying to apply anything and everything to get the absolute best QUALITY of medicine my seeds can produce over yeild... So i've been hst'ing, lst'ing, super cropping and tieing stuff down... My seeds said 8-10 weeks start to finish... My very first plant, the autowhitewiddow popped oct. 3rd... Tonight is my 16th night under 12-12.. I cut back from 20-4 over 5 days trying to be smooth or whatever... But i've lollipopped and defoliatedright after i cut the lights back thinking i was gonna start putting on buttons but all she's doing is just stacking nodes like crazy now... I lollipopped and defol'ed 7 days ago.. Left the very tops and one node under neath and in the past 7 days she put 3 inches of just dense forrestry up top and not showing any sign of sex still... Coming up on 12 weeks.. Supposed to be finished and aint even showing sex... help?????

the ladies are lookin nice fella.
A few tips to get ya going.

To tag a fella.

Just type @ then a name
Like @ZKJ

2nd tip. On pics. If turn phone sideways. Top to left. Pics should come out right uploaded here.

Also flash from phone with lights off takes a much better pic than blink blurple lol.

So the question was how many should you put in tent with bigger pots?

my .2

With bigger pots and proper training. I would be shy to put more than 2 or 3 ina 4x4 tent.

I have grown some big autos. Dont expect em all to be small unless you want them small.

may have to treat her like a photo. Its a rare thing with good genetics. More common with less stable autos.

Hit her with 24 hours dark and then 12/12 moving forward. Should flower right on up.
