Live Stoner Chat Plants per sq footage

[KYZiggy]

How much room do you need per plant when dealing with autoflowers I am looking at 4x4 and 5x5 tents. With that tent I am planning on using either a 1000w HPS or 900w Led setup. I know the plants should not reach the same size as a photosensitive plant which means I should be able to have more plants in the same tent is that true. Also what size containers are needed to have a auto plant grow successfully.

W/ either tent you mention I would grow a max of 4 plants in 4 gal pots ... I would expect each pot to produce from 3-6 oz every 3 months ... LEDs should aim for 45 watts per sq ft of actual wattage ... the 5x5 would be a little roomier ... Min 5' in height ...

Thanks for the insight, another question that I have since I am new to the autos if scrog setups work efficiently with them? because all I have seen people talk about so far is using autos in is a sog setup.

Sure they do. You will find that these autos take a lot more abuse then they used to. We grow them in shot glasses, solo cups, potato chip bags, 1 gal up to 5 gal pots. We SOG and SCROG, LST, SuperCrop, FIM, defoliate and lollypop. Of coarse all of this with caution (take it slow) and good genetics Search any of these tags and you will find a plethora of techniques with full journals to back them up.

Good luck brother and welcome to the family. Oh and you should head over to introductions and say hi.
