nice job on the stealth

If I were you I'd try to grow 1 healthy plant at a time in smallish pots, LST'ing the ever-loving crap out of them...I have a 3x3x6' tent and I came to realize after several months that I could get a lot more (and a lot better quality) bud by LST'ing less plants in a small space than by trying to put more un-trained plants into the same space. For me, my tent is the perfect size to grow 1 photoperiod plant, topped once, fimmed 4 times, LST'ed to lower her top colas. That right there was on track to net me 8 large main bud-sites on a 75/25 sat/ind hybrid, photoperiod of course. Growing autos, you can't really top or fim, so I'd actually leave more room to LST than with a photo.

The more I think about this the more it makes sense, really appreciate the post.
I buy regular seeds and plant 5 a time, not sure I could throw any females? Maybe I should try a feminised seed again?

nice job on the stealth

Thanks goauto, if you could see the light leakage atm you wouldn't be saying that

I know the feeling...if you're doing autos, I would just kill the males and make the best of the females. When you're growing photos, you can do exactly that...plant 5, get rid of the 4 you don't want, take 5-6 clones of the photo to veg in a small dark closet somewhere under CFLs, then grow the clones out one at a time, replenishing your clones as you flower them out. That way, you always have the same high quality phenotype running at any given time, you know how to train it, you know how it likes nutes, you know what will make it big and what will stunt it, etc. That's just one thought, the Achille's heal of that plan is that you need a flower room and a veg room, however small and stealth they both might be.

Thanks for the rep, btw, back at ya!

Light leakage now sorted, the side vents was the worse, in hindsight I should have put them in the rear of the cupboard

Still a little light reflecting up off the base into the tube but acceptable, I think once the pots are in there and a nice green canopy it will be unseen

Time to fook it all up now and try to grow something

Fitted the scrog today, pretty much made it out of the left-overs from wiring the garage, 20mm trunking seemed good for the job
Before I fitted it I was in 2 minds wether to go for 3 ltr airpots? just for an extra bit of height, the 3ltr pots are only 60p cheaper than the 6 so out came the circular saw and I nipped 50mm (2") off, so i'm guessing they are 5 ltr now!
Few pics to keep you amused
