New grower for one small afghan auto

My tent is 16x16x48 dam that sucks i guess, i thought I’d be good for one plant to grow horizontally as best as i could with some LST

You can use your small tent later for drying your weed in the dark.

Don’t fret . I’d bought several things early on that were not well thought out. We all make the same mistakes early on.

I bought 1 100W light for a 3x4 tent for example . Wayyyy too little to grow 4 plants.

Good luck you can do this!;;

I just really don’t have the space i saw one 2ft deep 48 wide by 48 high but that’s really pushing it so there’s no shot this can grow i read autoflowers should be a lot smaller

Your only chance is to LST and supercrop the living hell out of that plant and grow it in Flatland.

This, you can do.

Here’s an example or two. And we can walk you through that. It’s scary but not that hard.

And below is what you can end up with the one on the right.

If you are up for that, I’ll commit to walking you thru every step because I understand your predicament.

I’m gonna rock with it, that’s incredibly helpful the way you drew it out thank you so much!

That is beautiful btw i hope mine is as a quarter as good as that :joy:

By the way is there a chart anywhere that says how far to start the light from seeding and up ? Or if i should set it at a certain level like lower then raise the brightness up as it grows ?

You are awesome thank you so much for the confidence boost lol

Haha I’m going to give it a shot in this one, trying and LST down and out as much as possible and run them on 18/6 light schedule my seeds come Monday so I’m just trying to get all my ducks in a row.

The viparspectra 1000 or the 600 p light would be great for ur tent

That tent would be perfect for seedlings or clones man, sometimes i feel my 4x4 is overkill for that phase, plus would be easier to control environment in small space now im considering getting 1 lol

Yea this is 16x16x48 I’m
Gonna give it a go in a 3gallon pot worst case i order a new tent and start over :man_shrugging:t2:

I think I’m gonna cave before i start this grow and purchase this tent i can squeeze it in my area do you guys think i can get two autos in 3 gallon pots in this one ? Or just focus on one auto or just stick with the 16x16x48 and see how it works out I’m pretty torn.

Ah i said screw it i ordered it, even if i do one plant i figured it’s better to have the space and height any tips on if 2 auto afghans will be good? Tried to find info on them not sure if they are big yielders or grow avg size

Thank you! Makes sense i did read they stay small and bushy

Can anyone translate this i got a ph reader for water on Amazon i put it in water and this is what it reads i thought it would say like 6.0 ect

Are you sure that is a pH meter? Looks like it says ppm. Thinking it is a ppm meter :thinking:
