Spider Farmer makes the 55"x28"x80" in case you decide to get one

My 28"x28" is a Spider Farmer tent. I probably won't be buying a new tent any time soon. I have three going now and that's working well for us. I just think the size you have is probably an excellent size for the type of growing I like to do.

I've never grown Autos and I'm wondering if it's possible to grow an Auto to harvest in a 20"x20"x36" Stealth Box

autos can be really small newty. like 2.5ft not topped. problem is you don't know what you got so some of those seeds just may get to be 6ft. i wouldn't do it. I wouldn't use anything smaller than a 3gal pot either homie. when you grow them hit me up if you going to do journal on here. i want to follow along and see how the seeds do.

I think it's worth trying, I will at least get a little first hand experience and better understanding of Autos before doing a full tent run.

I'm going to give it hell, seed has been germinating for 16 hours now!

Are you going to start a thread for them? Already got one and im just a horrible internet friend? I was talking to the grow shop about autos the other day, im having to much fun right now with the photos. I can imagine getting something dialed though smoking on fresh herb any time you want! : )

A bit small, most of the autos I've grown were 3-4'. I guess you could bend the plant and tie it.

It would be difficult.

I'm just going to try the 1 Auto for now but once I know it's healthy, I'll start a thread titled Auto Micro Grow or something like that.

I do have a diary for my Frostette photoperiods I'm growing under the HLG Scorpion RSpec, I just made the diary yesterday along with 6 weeks of updates.
I would link it so you can check it out but idk how to find and copy the link from the app.


I have plenty from my last photo harvest so I didn't really need to start growing another plant but I'm being impatient and really want to try and grow an Auto so I said screw it, let's try to micro grow it lol.

With photos, they are more on my time schedule but Autos do what they want so I'll have to make sure I stay on top of it!

The seed has life!!!
Photoperiods, I usually wait until the tap root is just a little longer.
Should I do the same for Autos or put it right in my final pot of soil now?

I mixed my soil and put it in the pot last night and watered it a little, put the pot in box with light on so the soil could have time to warm up.
Left the seed in the paper towel overnight, wanted to let the tap root grow a little more.
Planted the seed in the soil this morning. I know it's early but so far so good lol.

WE HAVE LIFE!!!

I've been reading a little about light cycles for Autos, I see 20/4 is considered a sweet spot. I'm wondering if maybe a 18/6, 17/7, or even a 16/8 would be better for smaller spaces, I would think less light would give me less growth but wondering what everyone thinks?

When do you start using nutrients and supplements when growing Autos?

So much of what you said is why im not ready for autos I still let my plants dry out in between waterings and shit like that! I like your style though! Want it, go get it! : )

No worries man, I’ll find them! Thank you!

I started in 18/6, but I wonder if the 20/4 won't be better in flow? For the nutrients it all depends on your soil, under biobizz lightix I waited two weeks before adding the auto A and B of biotechnology.

28 day

I do it like this, low and dimmed light you have to wait to see the first two branches... Keep a close eye on them and when they appeared wait two days and cut the apex 14 days max, wait two or three days for both branches to develop, then lst. 21st Day Cut of the First Two Leaf Feeders Wait for the second node and stop the lst. And wait for the harvest.

In the pic below, I'm at day 11 since it poked out of the ground.
Do I want to top this now or should I wait? Should I of done it sooner?
I just purchased another tent (3x2x6) so if it gets a little out hand, I have somewhere to finish it in.
It's all a learning curve for me, I appreciate all the help you've given me so far!

Hopefully it was a 2'-4' but my luck it will be a XXL lol
I'm just going to use clips and ties, that way I don't have a net to deal with if I need to move it to the tent.
It's still early but has been smooth sailing so far, just a little water once in awhile.

I did grow autos, and basically I just did them as the just feminised, just let them have 24 hours of light and watered a little more often. They started flowering and I flipped to 12/12 and just keep it that way till they yield. Though they gave me notably less harvest than just fems so did not took a spot in my heart
