Yea I grow autoflowers, my tent is 4x6 but still can only really fit 3 large plants and it's tight, I have a duplicate light I never un boxed could double grow to 6 plants but only legally can grow 3, you can put your plants in 2gal pots, will be a bit smaller but easier to manage, or do a scrog grow, I really don't know what to tell you except get a bigger tent.

Ye that bottom gotta come off lollipop her and lightly defoliate for better airflow and light penatration the bottom won't ever see light so it's for nothing but larf best let the plant give all its energy to Bud sights
Thx. This is how they look after some lolipopping and defol
i removed some lower budding sites that wouldnt get enough light . Will do more in a couple of days to not stunt them

Looks better but could use more you would be very surprised theres no delay and most time better bigger fast bud growth if done right since theres less vegetation for the plant to maintain and all energy and nutrients goes into bud production tonight will be my final day 21 defoliation and I'll post it

Well could be many factors plants getting bigger, high temps, low humidity or all those I'd just be sure to get a good amount of run off to not build up to much salts and minerals and acidic soil

Like I understand many have space limitations but I'd say it's harder to maintain environment in a smaller tent rather than a 4by4 or 5by5 in a small tent and leds to grow properly you need to maintain a canopy tenp of 84ish Any lower slow growth and around 86-88 I start seeing some stress that's hard to maintain in a tent and humidity must be a nightmare too much or too little in your setup I'd recommend acinfinity just for the programmable use never used one but could be help to u

next grow it will be 2 plants.

There are autos and then there are autos. Those Mephisto may be good sized but there are autos that grow pretty small too, so it helps to note growth characteristics or to be able to view pics of a grow before selecting the genetics. It's easier to get in trouble pushing too many plants per space, and it just makes for more work too. And it may not actually provide more harvest because you are space limited. But you have to just go for it and learn! :) I bet a single one of those Mephistos would fill that 2x2 and provide almost as much outcome, but with less work.

Day 45:
what is going on with them? Light burn? Deficiencies?

all good then?

i think its probably light stress? i didnt take any chance as they seem to be worsening recently and raised my lights by 4 inch as it seems the dry leaves tips are probably a sign of too much light?

Maybe it's a sulpher deficiency I'd really consider a liquid fertilizer would be a fix for.many and future deficiency
