Need help re lst green Crack and white widow auto's

Sounds like you've made a good start!
I gauge my start by the leaves reaching the edges of the pots by day 20.

If you're not restricted by space height, i'd let them grow naturally - you'll also need quite a large area for 5-6 plamts, I use around 2feetx2feet per plant. And the light will need to evenly cover them too.

Got them on 23/1? If that's a lighting schedule, i'd drop it to 20/4 or 18/6 (more standard lighting schedules)

I don't know the light, so can't advise on heights!

Hope this helps

Thanks for the advice. I think I will drop to 20/4 for the lighting schedule. I think the messed up light from last grow has made me light greedy for my girls and wasn't sure how this one would do. Tent is 1m x 1m and I think space will be an issue, sewed six seeds straight into pots and didn't expect all to take! Also prev non auto growth experience only where I could determine size by growth period so this is a proper shocker. Would lst help with a size problem? Thanks again for the advice ☺

Btw, it's a 2m high tent☺

LST will help keep the plant shorter and bushyer .. I don't like messing about with ties and string, so i'll probabyl be topping the plants - about day 17-20 (just above the 4th node)

If your tent is only 1 meter tall (quite short), then you'll need to train them to keep them low! LST is probably your best option.

THere's a few threads on LST here, although there's no massive science to it - keeping the main cola and laterls down for an even canopoy will for the buds to grow up.

10 gallons is quite a big pot right? I use 15 litre pots (european) and they're plenty big enough to grow a big plant. You may wanna consider culling some as you may have over crowding problems soon which can cause mold, or shaded buds, or not noticed herms .. and ontop of that, be a right pain in the arse to tie down - like a spider wed of ties

Ahh 2 meters ... rock on! just top them or leave them

Thanks blue, will do. I may try it out on one for practice but knowing it's not a requirement is a big relief, au natural for my monster girls

Ooh culling, but I'm a vegetarian, it's not in my nature. I'm spacing them out today and I'll take it from there with youradvice on board. Every days a school day! Books just don't give you this
