Using mix of fox farms ocean forest and happy frog, I’m afraid that there won’t be enough space for both of my plants. I haven’t planted them yet but I have 2 seeds germinating and the pots are filled and ready to go. The strains are Hyperion f1 and mimosa auto both from Royal Queen Seeds Anyone have experience with this? I’m ordering a trellis net as I assume this will be a necessity to get the canopy as wide as possible. Will also lst to keep them apart

Unfamiliar with the strains. Is that f1 a auto also? I've done lots of autos but i use just 3gal fabric bags for them. That mimosa and the other can be topped and side branches pulled down LST sure would be helpful. I don't use nets i like to pull them out and set them up on a table to do my training pin downs and give them haircuts.

Yeah the f1 is also an auto. I was considering maybe throwing one on my balcony to ride out the rest of the grow but supposedly that is illegal in my city even tho weed is legal. So I’m not sure. Thanks for the tips! I’m not sure about topping autos so I’ll have to look into it. Do most of the strains you do recover quick enough to top? I didn’t top last grow (grew mimosa) and it was tight since I didn’t train it at all either.

These are all autoflowers in less than 2gal pots. The ones on the outside table are 1gal. You can grow them in smaller containers just need to decide if you want smaller harvest. Yes some of these are topped some are not and grew only 35" or less tall. My tent is 3x3floor but higher than yours 6ft. I still need to top and train my photoperiods. I've topped many autos when there real healthy it does'nt hurt them abit but it's your choice. You could just bend the main stalk over and tie it down.

Oh wow! These are beautiful. I had no idea you could grow them to be that large in less than 3 gallons. Doesn’t even look like that much of a harvest difference. Both seeds already popped so I put them in the 5 gallons but next grow I think I’ll do something like this.
