one important thing to understand is you have to compensate the fact it doesn't have roots the first few days with a very moist medium so the clone can sucks enough water. don't hesitate to overwater the first watering with cutings

I put a clone in normal soil too,, the root cubes seem so hard even if watered

Autos growing rapid still. Looks like a forrest there now. I also started earlier eith nutes 0.5ml pr litre and seems like its going ok.
Also should i cut of any leaves blocking bud spots before it starts flowering?

i usually defoliate a little the last two weeks of stretch a few leaves top of some lower branches that made it to canopy level.

When possible i just bend the leaves unders the branches, or just remove a few finger not the whole leaf it depend

Whatever you do with defoliation keep it as lite as possible.

try one cutting in a glass of water. glass not plastic change the water every 4-5 days you should get roots within two weeks

try another one in soil without rooting hormone. Keep the soil overwatered for a week then let it dry normally

i can't really figure out what's wrong with your clones, i have never had issue cloning cannabis easily with different methods 😕

Plants grown over 30cm, much bushier now with flower spots all around on the tops:) cut of alot of yellow leaves under,, some seem to have signs of overfeed.. Maybe cus i did 0.5 ml ( half dose bio grow) a week or 2,too early. Plants should be just 1 months old now

Pictures of my autos in big tent and phenos in the small tent. Humidity seem to have gone down in the big tent, but the other stays 90% even i got the dehumidifier there too. I did bind down 1 of my phenos since there was space on left side, but think il have to do it eith the other 2 aswell as their already 35 cm from lamp. Or should i top them? I could move the vent n stuff outside too, but would rather avoid it.
Also put on power to max 300 watt 40cm, 10 cm more then needed from plants incase they stretch.
100 watt on my viper spectra

i don't like LST or topping, plus definetely not a good idea to top at this stage with some auto.

i can live with not all plants having the same height, i put the taller on the side closer to the LED:

i can use some books or whatever under the smallest it depend .

I dont need to do anything for the autos, their tent height is good, but the phenos in small lower tent.
Put them on 12/12 some days ago

Hi, im planning to buy a small growtent , probably 60x60x160cm size 0.6m3

Ive tried it once before years ago,, with 250w lights,, didnt get so much out of it but it was first time.. Anyways

This time i want to try led lights instead because of lower heat and cheaper power use.
Its so long ago ive forgotten most growing so hoped you could help me.

In a small tent like that, what can i expect to harvest in grams? I think i want to cut it more this time to make it more bushy.
Also how much watt led can i have? 200w? How much would i get out of that?
And about the ventilation, id like to keep noise low as im putting the tent in a shed which is wall to wall with my neighbours. Imalso abit concerened about the smell, as i could sence the weed smell in my appartment when i had it there years ago when the weed plants where blooming up at the end. I did use coal filter. Maybe the smell came fr me opening up watering it only,, idk.
Greatful for all answers and ideas.
Would like to know if thers any seeds you recomend as a beginner too that has good yield

Thx
I would highly recommend nothing less than 3x3 as that would fit 4 large plants or 9 smaller plants.
2x2 you could get 4 small plants, maybe expecting an Oz off each plant, if all goes well.
Generally for small tent grows 1Oz/ft2 is average.
As for wattage, its all dependent on your systems ability to cool [more than likely though exhausting based on temp/humidity values; i recommend Cloudline t4 inline w/ controller].
Cannabis with anything under 400 true watts will underperform in ambient co2.
So going with a higher wattage light that you can dim to cater to the plants/environment is the best option.
Dont worry about harvest, worry about the process.

a yeah the photoperiods in the small tent, for sure you don't have much room in that tent for 3 plants do the best you can to keep them at bay 😃

(i noticed a few time your confusing photo (photoperiods) with pheno (phenotype))

the phenotype is the way a seed either automatics plants or photoperiods plants gonna express their genes within a strain and be a little differents than it's sister plant from the same strain

Whst will happen with the buds when my small tent has 90% humidity? Wil buds rot for sure? I will dry them in the big tent but worry while its growing in the small tent

no one can tell if your bud gonna rot or not it's a lot dependent on strain and phenotype within a strain. i had some phenotype resisting 90% humidity and some other that started to rot with 60%.

higher the humidity higher the risk

I suddenly got RH far down in the small tent. Must have been because i opened the passive air abit.. Ive had it closed as i cant clearly see negative pressure when its to open... Maybe its still, or il need a stronger fan or avoid 1 bend on the alu pipe of fan i gues. Pictures now:

Autos looking great too. Gave them only water today as i think i overfed them abit.
