Live Stoner Chat Beginner grower need some help

[Simplicio]

Hello fellow growers
I have a 3x3 tent with 400W hps dual spec.
Proper air vent etc.
My question is that we germinated 10 auto seeds (skunk#1,bigbud,whitewidow)
because we tought not all of them gonna sprout, but 7already came up.
If all germinate what can I do with that small tent? Should I go SOG and leave them in small pots? Any advice for max number of plants? Sorry if this is off topic im new here. Many thanks guys.

I'm doing almost exactly what you are, but in hydro.
4 plants is doable, but you could have trouble reaching the plants in the back of the tent.
I make a vertical "X" using 2x4 and 4x4 inch wire mesh to separate and support the 4 plants.
That and the tent walls will create a full canopy jungle, similar to scrogging.
You won't be able to do much to the back plants, so make sure the tallest, slowest to harvest plants are in the back.
Vertical height can become a problem.
About a third of the bud weight will be popcorn, but potent.

Maybe leave some in theese long skinny pots (around 10cm wide, 50 cm long)
And I mixed up the seeds so I dont know whics one is whics let the fun begin

hehheh, i'd hold your horses dabber and wait for the results to come in lol.

I did a trial years ago to see what i could get from a really small pot (actually i missed the transplant opportunity (which really can be less than 7 days!!)).
It's one small pot (1/4 litre?) with it's bottom cut off growing into another small pot!

Not my finest moment ... and not tried since!!

That's kind of a cool idea actually lol. You have quite the imagination

You can but if you transplant photoperiods and they go into shock for a day or whatever it is advisable against . I personally haven't tried to myself . Have grown one out in a solo cup though. And I usually have no transplant shock with the photos .

A little update.
At the first couple of days I run my setup at 250w (dimmable ballast) to dont get too much for the new ladies, but ended up strecthing them quite a bit. But because I have a cooltube with good air vent I thought fck it lets give them full power.
They started to grow leaves super quickly, so next time I'll just put them straight into final pot and under HPS or MH straight (no cfl start!)
But because they already got a long stem, and started to fall down I just transplanted them from solo cups to 10L air pots, burrying the stems until theres only 1-2 cm on top.(And seedlings were only a few days old, maybe a week top) That was this morning, still waiting how they will react. In usual, they say dont transplant autoflowers, because they got already a short life period, any schock can affect them on growing, losing yield at the end. BUT if you do it carefully, sometimes they dont even feel it. Just careful with the roots!
Setup: 90cmX90cmX180cm tent, 400W HPS dual spec, 100mm Vent system with cooltube.
Soil: Plagron Growmix
