Nice pics! Ill update with some of my pics in a couple hours once I wake them up. I went with auto flowers, as well, and I'm about the same length into it as you (planted seed 27 days ago). I think they look nice, not as filled in as yours yet though, but I see they just started shooting up so fast the last few days.

I have 2 autflowers in 3 gallons each in a 20" x 36" x 60" tent...running the 450w Viparspectra. Pictures will come soon.

I appreciate all the feedback on the thread from the people who actually wanted to help, not for those of you who just bashed.

I posted in the newbie section because I am a newbie. First time grow. You read so much mixed reviews on things that I wanted some feedback on here.

I did not want to spend a lot of money at this time (I realize there's obviously much better products out there). So for those of you who are like me, I will post pictures of what you can expect from an around $500 complete set up. This is what I am running and will post pictures in a couple hours once I wake them up.

I am current on day 28 from when I first planted seeds. See below for setup:

-2 auto flower seeds
-3 gallon pots
-36" x 20" x 60" tent
-450w Viparspectra LED light
-Carbon filter with inline fan and ducting
-small clip on fan
-humboldt secrets nutrients, calmag, plant enzymes, golden tree
-ona gell
-2 sets of led goggles

I will post pictures in a couple hours to show people what they can expect with a cheaper and rather simple set up. Maybe its for you, maybe its not...but at least you can judge.

just DONT put that ona gel anywhere near your plants.. that stuff will affect the smell and flavor of your buds. and that light sounds like it is more than big enough.

I have the Ona gel in my closet outside of my tent....do you think that I need to take it out of my closet completely?

If the air going into your growing area smells like ona gel, then YES, get that ona gel out of there. Put that ona gel at the end of the exhaust outlet. dont put that gel anywhere that has air going into your tent.put it on the side of your house. or in your garage... the ONLY thing that will safely remove the smell of growing cannabis are air filters.......... Air fresheners, perfume, and especially febreeze.. WILL affect the taste and smell of your buds.... ok?

OPEN THOSE FRESH AIR PORTS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE FILTER OUTLET.. . USE BOTH OF THEM AND PUT AN AIR FILTER ON THE INLETS.

Wait what do you mean?? Open up the top air port on the other side and do what to it? I thought I should keep all those ports closed besides the bottom screens and the duct for the carbon filter. no?

I only have the bottom left one screen open. So yeah some light come out from the bottom left of the tent. Maybe since they're about to flower Ill change that up and close it open up the top air port instead?

No light comes in when the lights are off though. I shut the closet door and my room is pitch black anyways when they sleep.

Your plants are looking good- how old are they and photos or auto's?
Here's some of mine @ 25 days under 2 300wt, Viparspectre and drinking 1-2 gal. a day + 1-2" gr. per day

They are 28 days old and have been under the 450w Viparspectra.

The right smaller one is Transiberian Auto and the left one if Auto Seeds Ultra Lemon Haze. I thought the lemon haze was an auto but I found a couple days ago it technically should go onto a 12/12 cycle. So not really sure what to do as I only have one tent.

I guess we have to see how these lights work during flowering.

I am getting nervous about not having enough space now because I assume they are going to grow quite a bit more.

I was worried about hight too and found it unwarranted, in my case anyways. They grew bushy as fuck instead. To the point that I'm glad i didn't put 5 plants in there, just 3. they're tight noded and I think the harvest will be better as I had expected dispite a few screw-ups. They probably would've grown taller had I not topped them a few times.
