My First Grow, HELP PLEASE!

[JohnBlazr]

That's exactly why I grow autos, because you can stick to them in any tent, regardless of the lighting cycle. They'll do just fine on 12s, though yeah... Reduced yield is never a good thing.

right, at the end of the day they were always meant to be some additional insurance/quick roi

Exactly. Some quick flower while you're building up your photos. That's my main use, that and growing outside in the short season here.

Once your cover 33% of the surface area with canopy you're ready. Also you need ⅔ of your room for headroom. So in a tent a plant should be flipped before its 16" tall. It's fine. Just flip the strongest ones. Keep them from getting too tall.

Thanks for the input man, Ill start trying to prepare for that day, knowing at some point ill probably have to pick the winners and cut my losses.

Looks awesome.

Yeah I’m looking at this again, he’ll be fine. IMHO. all these constraints folks place. That’s a big ass tent. I’ve grown 6 5 gallon in a 2x4 plenty of times with no issues. I respectfully disagree.

Exhibit a 6 plants 1 2x4
Exhibit b 1 plant in a 2x4
Imo it’s about what you are willing to do.

It looks awesome, spread em out a little when you move the others. Good job bro. I’ve been seeing dudes do the double screen with pretty nice results. But with that nice airflow you have and the lush green. I tip doth cap to you sir!

I was trying to find this earlier. Sweet. Looking good brother man! How are you feeling about it? Not overwhelmed or anything? I was excited to see that tent pack in like that…..

Thanks dude! I'm feeling good, happy with the results so far! A little anxiety about the vertical space, hoping they stop the stretch and start packing on weight but i have a few tricks im going to use to try and manage, spacing them out like you said being one.

They will grow as tall as the genetics, veg time and process/stresses, optimized conditions for pheno type, all play a part in how much she wants to stretch in phase. Typically, they already have a set height they want to be, the question is did you do everything right to get optimal height given all the factors.

50% is not a rule it’s just an average number. 50%+ is from optimal conditions.

You could force a stunted growth if you wanted to by making a condition not optimal. But you’d just sacrifice yield, quality and potency.
