Yea doesn't look like i can fit 60 plants in my box doing dwc so im gonna stick with soil. Yea i dont think 7 pounds is realistic either cause thats way more than a gram a watt under 2x1000w.

If you guys find any shorter tents that work for autos lowriders then deff hook me up with the link .. im looking for some also and it seem that i can only find tall ass tents that are made for alot of plants or a short ass tent made for only a mother

You gotta buy the tall one and "midgetize it" as I would call it. I've looked for shorter ones and they arent out there. I bought mine on ebay for $200 shipped. Then my friend cut it down to size for me.

i didnt really mean actually pulling 7 full lbs i was just saying the rate they grow in water vs soil is unreal. i switched from soil to Deep Water Culture for that reason. and i also didnt mean use a 5 gal bucket and a 6" net lid like you would with reg strains. you could use a 1 to 2 gal bucket(witch is prob same size as your final pots) and a smaller net pot also means no transplanting. i was just saying my setup as an example just MIGITIZE it as you would say lol. if you shrink it all to the same as the auto strains i belive you could at the least get 25% more. after i do a couple of runs of autos in soil and get it down breeding and all im gonna try D.W.C. for sure.
also heres a link for your small boxes/tents. its the home box line clone box(Lrg). not sure exactly what size you said your tent was but you could easiy put 2 of these together with some poly and a little injunudity! and if you used t5s you could do 2 rows it looks like or if not put 3 together.

if you noticed in my journal,my box is 8x8x8 i built it with poly and 2x4's and i will prob build a midgit size one like yours. building your own is way cheaper than buying any of the tents and pre-fabed room's on the market. for the lumber and poly it spent only 140$ campaired to 1,850$ for an 8x8x7 on the web. not to mention when you D.I.Y. yo can customize every thing you want!
and one last ? would it be a little more efficent even if it was only like 3 to7 plants extra you got by using GROW BAGS instead of pots. i noticed the square pots thats already way better than round pots. with bags just seem like you could get an extra few in there!?!
sorry bout the thread jack just a ramblon stoner

The left half is Lowryder 2 and the babies on the right are the blue berrys. I can fit almost 60 full sized plants in the box after sexing and transplanting. I have 129 babies going and i need 60 females so basically a little less than half
Yea I think its just this dam mylar. I bought more white posterboards to place on the top of the ceiling and sides of the box so it doesnt reflect as hard.

I turned my 400 on right when the broke the soil and kept it a ft away for a week and then brought it about 6 in away... this all helped keeping them short but extremely bushy... also, i forgot to water them several times since theyv'e gotten bigger and thats helped keep them shorter.. but once i hooked up that HPS the noods got furthur apart.. 31 days old today

I think im going to try this but on a smaller scale.. maybe 10 plants at a time or 20 tops .. how much work will it take once you get rid of your males... do u think 20 plants in an apt is a safe idea as long as i have odor control?

Yea 20 plants is a cool amount. As far as an apartment goes IDK. Im always cautious when it comes to being safe so if it were me I wouldn't do it. Unless the temp is cool enough where you live where you dont have to run a loud fan. and yea definately odor controlI think im going to try this but on a smaller scale.. maybe 10 plants at a time or 20 tops

I can smell my 3 lowriders half way across my apt. and we smoke weed n here. So its not the safest place to grow because we are risky but we always burn incents and have the windows open.. we don't have loud music or throw parties so its a quiet but smelly place ... How loud is a fan? I need something super sonic secret so I don't have any suspicions along with a filter that can take care of the smelly little plants

greenearth, those three plants are looking solid. looks like its gonna be a good harvest. Wat kind of light are you using? and since you live in an apartment, are you using a tent? or a spare room? im planning to grow some weed in my room so im guessing were in a similar situation.

Yea try to stay low key as possibel. A 6 inch vortex fan is pretty loud. A key factor for sound is definately insulated ducting. Cost a little more but kills atleast half of the sound.I can smell my 3 lowriders half way across my apt. and we smoke weed n here.
