Just built my 2x2x4 tent. I’m going to use a 5 gallon fabric pot. Wanted to plant two plants. Will this tent work for a auto flower? Light is highest I could tie it up. I’ll have to put carbon filter fan on the outside.

I put 4 regular plants in one last year. They get hot. Ur gonna have to keep it cool. Thats why this year i got a bigger one. So it will definitely work for two.

Look for compact auto. I did 3 blueberry auto last grow. They ranged from only 16" to 22". They were in 3 gallon fabric pots though. I did white widow autos in 5 gallon and several of them were 4’ ++

Lol!! You should’ve seen me, like a little kid excited to build it. Wife was making fun of me. I’m 33 and was sitting inside the tent attaching the poles. Worked out faster lol

Heat is definitely a issue with that size tent . Even with air flow in and out , I’m still trying to figure what to do exactly. Most days it really depends on how hot it is outside, even with ac blowing In the house it gets up to 85 in the tent , sometimes more , I’m growing one wwa , I wanted to do more in the tent but you realize fast that space is not on your side especially with autos . Cant top them or do much to keep size down . Hopefully you will figure it all out before me and I can finally have a solution outside of upgrading . ( Wife won’t be happy )

Lol I feel like I should’ve got a bigger tent too but my wife wouldn’t be happy either. How’s the grow going? And do u have a carbon filter inside?
N from experience brother, u kinda seem like me, I can certainly tell u that ur not done…ull constantly be buying things n making ur grow space perfect doing research constantly and upgrading ur equipment n so on, I’m certain after a grow or two ull have a new tent a better tent n that little one will be more like a veg or seedling nursery n ull look back n be like "lord, I cant believe I started doing whole grows in that little thing lol…welcome to your new hobby lmao

What size tent do you have? I can see multiple pots. It seems to be doing good. What soil are u using?Hopefully continues 
Trust me I’m already looking at new stuff and bigger tents and I don’t even have my soil in the pot yet lol trying not to impulse buy which I have a bad habit of but this is exciting and fun and with everyone on here helping out with advice makes it even better. It’s still illegal where I’m at so I feel like a bandit, that alone excites me. Wife doesn’t understand lol

Good choice.

Those look delicious. I can smell them from here! I hope I can grow something remotely close to that lol what was your light cycle?
20/4 start to finish. I have one white widow going in a separate veg area
It is much different and more compact than the nine I grew the first couple of times.
This is it after its initial flower stretch. Its height has not changed much. Now it is just filling out.
I am sending pics of the PVC pipe structure I use to suspend the lights in the veg area (don’t laugh at the lights, I needed something on a fast, cheap emergency basis at the time). You said you were going to move your exhaust system out the tent, not knowing how it is put together, I thought maybe something like this may do the job.
I am coming to the end of my 1st indoor micro grow. It started as a "im bored its winter "and then after a trip to my local pharmacy i was rewarded with 3 seeds from a garrilla glue bud. I started with a bookcase that was 40x12x36 inside. Wife laughing all the way. Well that was 1/7/20 and now those seeds are in a 48x40x60 and in final weeks of flower. Wife is not laughing anymore. I have a total investment of 600$. More on the way, including 60x illuminated jewelers loupe, ratchet straps,another 450w led and more. Keep us posted and by the way my wife just ordered another tent for her vegetables…
