New Grower Pot size

[ninja1]

Gonna start my diary after the weekend. I will start the seeds in 1l pots for the 1st week then im going to pot them into their final pots. I will be using plant magic soil. I was wondering Will i hit at least an oz a plant from cream caramel autos under a 600w in 6.5l pots or would it be better to go with 11l pots? Also anyone know how many i can fit inside a 120x120 tent.

I cant find anyone whos grew autoflowers under a 600w :/ worrying me that im gonna get a shit yield.

I would go with the 11 liter pots. In that size tent your should be able to fit about 12 plants comfortably. I would also advise against the Plant Magic soil. A couple others here have tried using it and have had issues. 600 watt HPS is great for growing autos, if you can control the heat as they give off a lot. Lots of growers here using them and getting good results.

I was gonna do 9 11l pots. Ive used plant magic before and had no problems same goes for heat with my 600w my set ups pretty good . What you think I can expect as a yield please muddy?

Nine plants will give you a bit more room to work around them and not be so crowded. Yield depends to a large degree on your skills as a grower. 1-2 oz. per plant is probably about average. I've gotten as high as 3 oz. per plant and others have gotten much more. Keeping your pH in the proper range is the biggest factor for a successful grow.

Hi muddy,

Got the seeds sitting in water as we speak. Gonna pop them into their first pots soon and decided ill go for 6.5l final pots in plant magic soil. As long as i hit 9oz i wont moan. For a yeild grow next im gonna be doing think different...cant find any grows of this done just under a 600w though but i expect id hit 2oz with that.

Yeah 6 2oz plants should be achievible under a 600w, I've got three on the go, but have no idea of weight but will let you know once i harvest Hazy

how long roughly is it until buds start to develop? id love to be able to have them under a 250w cfl for say 3 weeks so im only waiting 7 inside the tent or 6 because i hate waiting and would chop a week early )

Don't expect your plants to be properly finished until they are 9-11 weeks old. Check this thread, it will give you an idea of what to expect from your plants. https://www.autoflower.org/f44/life-cycle-auto-flowering-cannabis-5113.html
