How does Mephisto do freebies? I was looking for short plants to grow in a 4x4 tent this winter. These strains I ordered are supposed to be 16-24 inches tall... I also thought hard about ordering 24 carrot because it is also a short strain
Whatever you spend,they match with freebies... If you spent over 200 bucks,which i believe you did,you're going to get a lot of stuff... As will I when i place my order!!!

I have a sour crack ready to chop a fugue state 2 full weeks into flower both have lst and i could fit twice that in a 2x2. It would be tight but doable in 3 gal fabric pots. Like frank said height isnt really an issue its width. I place smaller plants on pails to keep even canopy height.
I stager them. 2 in flower and i start 2 more. I added a 3rd this time going with 1 gallon tester soil and megacrop ferts.
I looked up on Mephisto website and the 3 strains I ordered are pretty much recommend 12 plants in a 4x4... Not sure how that works. It's an odd number. I was planning 9 which would be 3 rows of 3... Making a perfect square. Not sure how you evenly space 12 plants in a 4x4

Youll get a boatload of stuff...
I think I will wait till I receive this order before I make my next order ... Right now I am thinking 7 packs of Hubbabubbasmellascope, Forum Stomper and 24 carat I like the idea of shorter plants. I'm looking at a new light that has almost a 4x4 footprint but you can run it 6-12 inches away from the plants... So I'm thinking it will work better with short plants cuz it won't have as much penetration... The bigger plants I with LST or use a scrog....

3 rows of 4... 2-3gal pots... SOG... IT CAN AND HAS BEEN DONE... You can do it as well...

I would do 9 for first go around. Especially if you get a monster pheno or two.
Mephisto genetics are seco d to none in autos. They are not just random pollon chucks. Most all lines are stabilized to F4-F8. They will almost always be the same plants except Illuminautos which are F1s.

Ya but it all depends on his growing style.
I would be afraid of too much running 16. If anything then run half start half 4 weeks in. Hard to control too many rather then not enough.
I never jam my room but i run perpetual that way i can dial in nutes etc without running risk of the whole tent full of issues. Thats just me though.
Im still learning these QB lights. I think im running too close.
Frank what distance do you run yours seedling and up?

I really dont think about it much... It more depends on what kind of a place im in... In my 2x2x3 I didn't have much room so it was pretty much ceiling from the jump... Now that im in this closet and about to go back into my 4x4x8 im wanting taller/bigger plants so i start them with the light close to kinda make them grow a little faster it seems to me,and once they are strong enough i raise the lights to make em stretch out... This time its kinda working out!!!
