Auto flower sour d

Hello all, New grower here. 4x2 tent, sayhon hs1200 light, 10x sour diesel auto flower. I am at seedling or veg stage…3 weeks of growing.
Will these 10 plants fit in my tent and if they do, will the one light be good enough for them?

You won’t be able to flower or light 10 plants in a 2x4. I would cull them down to 2 or 3 plants at most.

I said that 10 autos sativas dominant on 2x4 tent is a lot of plants a least if you going to used 1gl pots

Light be good just for one or two until harvest but not for 10 autos

Just a sample of sour diesel auto in 2x4 tent with 150w light

Thank you!!
Cut them down? This may be a stupid question but what does that mean exactly? How do I do that?

He means whittle your plant count down to 2 or 3. Someone did not do enough research and unless you have somewhere else to put the extra plants you have possibly just wasted valuable expensive seed.

My advise would be go back and study more, check out the book the Cannibis Encyclopedia.

@dbrn32 @PurpNGold74 Do we have a Snafu of the month catagory? If so this one gets my vote.

I started with a small light and small tent.
It was an oops. now I have 3. If you can swing it…4 x 4 tent and a nice light will do the trick for 4 maybe 5 autos. good luck

10 is way too many for that light. Even if you reduced it to 2 or 3 you will need another light.

CUT them down is to CULL or them SLOWELY as not 8 in a day.
One a week may be too fast.
When 10 seedlings sprout, cup them (YOU DID)
When they have 4 nodes replant into Gallon (I do)
When the roots grow out of the cut gal air/drainage holes, GO BIG.
10 is too much for the tent BUT until they compete for space GROUND or CROWN, no hurry PULLING or KILLING. SEXING may cost some.

Welcome to the community and a little ambitious. Are you in a legal state and can grow outdoors? I would grow no more than 3 in that 2 x 4 and that’s going to be full. If all you have is 1 tent where is the tent as in could you grow these in the lung room? If you’re stuck with just the tent I would grow these for several weeks and pick the 3 healthy ones and unfortunately toss the others. I would recommend a 6-8 plant SOG in 1 gallon pots but that’s for a little more advanced grower :love_you_gesture:

YES outdoors is good for the excess.
I have purchased clones from 2 growers and seed from 3.
Now that i have established a garden, I am working on garden 4.1, my first in years

I’m a new indoor autoflower grower myself. Just starting my 3rd crop. My 2nd crop included the ILGM Sour Diesel Auto. Super hearty plant. I yielded 7.1oz out of this one dried and cured. I would definitely keep it to under 2 plants tops in that size enclosure.
Maybe even 1 plant with proper LST techniques.

Sweet!! I’m usually stuck with the tough decision of which ones to cull! Winter months and indoors are easier for me to control the environmental conditions and I can run n full tents during the summer months I have to go down in plant count and fight humidity, pest and potential WPM. Great you can move them outdoors and not bad timing either… not quite sure if your location :love_you_gesture:

@JDiddy Thanks for your pictures. I had been leaning toward a 7gal bag (10gal being too heavy for tent cleaning). i have some available from yard working). I would prefer BIGGER. My thought for reflective drip catching (excess and overflow) was to buy a water heater drip pan ($24.00). However, your posted picture shows me I could use a storage bin (Have plenty spare storage bins). and call it final for the grow. THANKS

Sweet!! I had similar success last year with a few Sour Diesels myself. Easy and super hearty strain to grow :love_you_gesture:
