First grow. Close to harvest.

Saron_Grass · Nov 4, 2025

This is my first grow. I watched a ton of YT vids and ended up getting a 3x3 tent for 3 autoflower seeds which ended up being way too small of an area for 3 plants. 2 of the plants i had to take out and they are super stunted. I will do 1 in this tent from now on. Just wondering what everyone's guesses might be as far as dry yield. For size reference like I said its in a 3x3x6 tent in a 5 gal grow bag of coco coir and I have been watering everyday using only cal mag, GH 3part nutes, and PHing the water. Let's hear all the guesses. I am super curious to know what people think. Tried to get as many pics as possible from different angles for you guys.

Holy smokes nice work!! Have you ever heard of manifolding/mainlining LST techniques?

I've heard of LST like putting those little clips on like they do on the youtube videos. I didn't wanna do too much to them on my first grow though because I heard so much about making them flower early if you stress them out too much.

Damn i usually do 4 plants no problem in a 3x3. How long did it veg?
Congrats on a finished grow
For yield you can expect 0.8-2.4g/watt it all depends on your lamp power and how well you used up the space.
If your middle top took all the strong light and all the rest took weak light you lost a lot

I dont really know exact veg time. I didn't really pay attention too closely to that since its autoflower. And yeah thats why I thought 3 plants would be fine in it but as you can see there is zero room for anymore in there without cramping it up pretty bad. I just have 2 smaller plants that are super stunted sitting just outside the front door of the tent trying to get as much light as possible. might get an ounce and a half off of them if im lucky.

What strain is this? Is it an auto?

It’s just the cheapest one they had on one of the seed sites called special queen 1 auto.

If you aren't doing any kind of lst (low stress training). I would recommend not using a canopy net, no need to get it dirty also makes it where you can rotate the plant so you can fill the bud more evenly. That is a nice grow though! Decent size main kola. You can get your yield up next time, if you do fiming, or topping it a couple times followed by loli popping.then learning how to hst or lst. Lst is easier to learn and less stressful for you to learn. Still for your first grow, you got a green thumb

I didn't notice it was an auto flower. Still applies for the net. Just wouldn't really do any major pruning with an auto flower. I would just do more and loli pop

My next grow I’m gonna try normal soil so I don’t get overwhelmed with mixing nutes and watering every single day like I did with this one. Also it’s going to be just a single photoperiod in the tent and I’m going to try the let clips and topping and all that. Try to fill out the entire tent with just one photoperiod.

What is manifolding?

its a training technique. also called mainlining. a quick youtube search would be better than me explaining in text.

GasPlease · Nov 5, 2025

Also good looking plant. congrats.

If youve gotten this far Im assuming you know the signs to look for indicating when to harvest? Hard for me to tell in the pics but looks like it still has a while.

Yeah just waiting on trichomes and for it o possible start fading etc.

I have this bookmarked:

https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/how-to-mainline-cannabis-plants/

They talk about mainline and manifolding.

Yeah I think it’s starting to do that but I assumed it was the fox tailing thing starting. Idk, I’ll post a pic of what that looks like when I get home from work today.
