Hi, first time grower here! I have a bunch of regular seeds on the way (80). I’m planning on popping an entire pack of 12, and hoping to get 4-5 female plants out of it.
I’m growing in a 4x4, using smart pots, and 660 watts (from wall) of HLG LED - two 330 watt lights.
I planned on fitting 4-5 females in my tent and topping/ training to optimize space, but how do I grow all 12 plants long enough to determine sex? Waiting until switching to 12/12 means my plants will likely be too large to fit in my 4x4, and if they do fit, I won’t have been able to top/train them the way I wanted to maximize my space.
Any help would be appreciated!
Maybe I fit 6 in the tent, and put 6 outside the tent and use one light on each? Maybe keep lights on 24 hours during veg to make sure there isn’t light pollution hitting the ones outside the tent when lights would typically be off during a 18-6?
Or do I roll the dice and try to determine sex from pre-flowers? So I can remove the males before major training gets underway.
TIA!
