Overcrowded tent suggestions?

[ms48130]

4 plants work in a 5x5. Tight but manageable. I think a 5x5 and 2 of Mars new SP3000 (i think that is the model #) would be an ideal setup. So $1k. LOL but you can probably get 200 bucks for your current light and tent. Pissing off the wife is not a good idea. Not worth it. Better to buy bud and stay married.

definitely need to avoid pissing off the wife!
Growing not a full time occupation, I do hope it to become just an occasional grow (once every 8-12 months!)

I need to add another small tent for drying, and I _might_ be able to repurpose the new small tent to a secondary grow tent up until the big girls are ready to harvest, and then move the smaller ones back to the current grow tent.

What if next time you grow all the same strain. No guarantee they will all finish at exactly the same time but should be close enough. One 5x5 4 plants. If it is personal use you don't need a 2nd tent to dry. 2 of those lights and a scrog net and you can fill the 5x5 corner to corner. Lollipop them and let it happen. I dont like solo cup plants id rather give 4 plants all the medium they want as opposed to 10 medium starved plants. OFC people grow dank in Solo cups so I may be wrong. I would do 1/2 gallon fabric as opposed to solo cups if I did a SOG.

I grew an 80g plant in a solo cup. I have to tell you when you grow in small containers it will be at least twice the time and work of a large one, So just because it can be done does not mean it should be done!

I like the 2-gal rainscience pots I'm running on 2 of my plants now, and I see they have some 0.8 gal pots available - those might be a good candidate. I don't have access to a dispensary, so growing is the only way to try out different strains for me, as it's been decades (truly!) since I've indulged! I don't think a singe strain is a good plan for me yet until I've done some sampling...

Ya. That is amazing. Good job. I can not get excited about small containers. I just filled 5 7 gallon and 2 3 gallon bags. Used the 3 as I was short of medium. I think for Autos shallow wide 5 gals are best. Or shallow 7 gals. The wider the pot the more you can lst them. A good wide pot and a vigorous grower can easily give you an auto in excess of 3'
In diameter. I think I can fit 5 monster autos in a 4x9 tent if I zig zag them. Perhaps 6. Plus 2 Photos in my 4x4 and I'm set.

amazing for sure!

I'm sure this 2'x2.5'x5' is the biggest tent I'll ever have (likely constrained by wife!) She'd be happy if I had ZERO, so I'm trying to make do with what I have. After harvest, this will get put away for AT LEAST 6 months (((

Make your wife some good salve using the leaves you need to defoliate. My wife works in retail on her feet all day. I made her some salve that she uses for foot pain and now she is much more tolerant of my cannabis adventures.

that's a thought... where did you find a "recipe" (did I really just say that???)

There is something called V6. It is a stable carrier oil (does not go rancid) you could boil the leaves in it with water.
