Hi everyone. New here obviously. Used alot of info to start from threads here so thanks to everyone already. Have grown a handful of phototypes from bag seeds and a few cfls. Starting 1st auto grow ever. In a 2x4 closet. Seeds from crop king seeds. Early miss autoflower. Upgraded to 1500w yueme cob led running 24h atm. Growing in ffof cut with 33%perlite. Watering between 6.5 and 6.8 dechlorinated for 24 hrs. No nutes added yet at end of week 1. I pan on just lst on these autos. Will be starting 2 plants every 3 weeks and trying a perpetual grow. Any comments or questions good or bad will be much appreciated. Im trying to get around 20 gs a plant. Fingers crossed.

Ok i have a 4*4 and I'm new but where you going to put all the plants. Any auto I have grown would fit three plants at a time in your area. Week 2 is ok you can stuff 4 plants in. Week four comes along and now you have to stuff six in. Might be dooable if you didn't do any training. Some of the others will chime in and we will both learn something new

That's the problem.
From what I understand Autos take 11 - 12 weeks. So that's 6 or 8 plants in a 2x4, unless you're talking Meters, IMO it ain't goin to work.

Good luck

If you did 9x9x12 square pots, you could grow 6 runts in there. That's not fun.

Even 4 in 12x12 pots might work, staggered.
You got a big red planter there, so maybe see how 2 are filling the tent in those buckets before starting 3 &4.
See how tall and wide (LST, you said) they get in those tubs when they stop growing, since you can't control it except by the planter size.

I never even thought space would be an issue lol. Just goes to show. I thought light would be my issue (not enough.) I have 1 in a 1.5 gal equivalent and 1 in a 3 gal equivalent ( the big red planter) to see what im going to like the most for space. My closet is actually more like 2.5 feet x 5.5 feet. But my fan takes up space and is too big to mount. Going to try to swap my 1 big fan for multiple smaller ones that i can wall mount so i can have that extra foot of grow space eventually.

I may have to do 1 plant at a time then and try for 40 gs from each plant. May have to go with bigger yeilding strains for that. My other option is a second closet i have been thinking of moving to for space. It is a 4x5 but i definitely thought the 1500w yueme light couldnt cover that space and i cant get another for a while.
