My next setup will be autopots. would i do better with 4 XL pots, or 6 standard in a 1mx1mx2m tent with a 600w "white" full spectrum LED and 2x Blurple 300s

thanks for your vote!
 
You dont have this option. Two 3.9 pots will fill a m2 tent and I don't think you could fit six bases into my tent and it is a m2. Just look at my grow and there were mistakes made or they would have been even larger. With some strains you could easily fill a tent that size with one plant with these autopots.
 
Hemi's right.....read a few journals.....experienced or not. Even for the best of us growers autopots present a few bumps along the road first time travelled.

That said, would a 4 pot setup fit in a 5×5?

I think four of the 15 liter (3.9gl) autopots should be okay in a 5x5. That's 25 sq ft and over twice as big as my 9 sq ft tent. LOL, with my 3x3 I could fill it with the right strain in one autopot. That's why I have another tent ready to setup soon just to try filling a tent with one massive plant scrogged in an Autopot.

...... I tried growing 6 DP Ultimates with XL pots in a 5x5..... That was a yuuuuuge mistake......

With medium to smaller sized strains I would say 4 or 6 x XL in a 5x5 is perfect (proper attention to training assumed), even 9 with a strain like say Mephisto's Sour Crack, but it depends a lot on how many sides of access there is, with large strains 2 or even 1 can fill a 5x5 with some growing skill and experience.

I've got 18 x XL, and it took more than a few runs before I had the number of pots to strain ratio dialled in, and still sometimes the Autopots almost gets the upper hand.... Lol

Thanks for the help guys, sorry OP for the hijack. I'm gonna pull the trigger on a 4 pot (3.9gal) setup.
