I have a 39" x 39" tent. My intention was to grow four or five autoflowering plants in three-gallon grow bags of Fox Farm Happy Frog and perlite mix, plus some additional autoflowering plants in two-liter bottles of perlite (hempy / passive hydroponics). I had a little trouble getting the bag of Happy Frog, and when I did get it, it turned out to have been completely waterlogged - at which point it froze solid. Try carting that around when you're ill
.
But then I realized that I hadn't stopped to think about the size of the plants
. I'm doing so now - and I'm growing a little bit concerned. I'd like to fill the tent, but only just (of course). I was assuming that four or even five autos, grown in three-gallon containers of soil, wouldn't completely fill the area of the tent... but I really have no idea. So assuming, I felt that there would be gaps in the canopy - but small ones, that could be better filled by smaller plants, lol.
Light will be provided by two Mars-Hydro SP-150 LEDs, found here:
A pair of these lights are supposed to be fine for a 3'x3' area. Ironically, the company doesn't sell a 3'x3' tent; their closest size is 39"x39" (1.5625 ft.² larger). I may or may not need to add some additional lighting in the future. I'm hoping for "not,"
.
Here is what I'll be growing in the three-gallon grow bags, assuming everything germinates/sprouts:
Critical XXL Auto (Garden of Green Seeds)
Auto Northern HOG (TH Seeds)
White Widow Auto (Crop King Seeds)
Dark Devil Auto (selfed Sweet Seeds DDA, by @Rifleman )
SSDC (DDA cross produced by @Rifleman )
I have additional DDA, SSDC, and a few "misc. / unknown autos" that I can germinate for the two-liter bottle hempies, if anyone thinks I mightneed have room for more plants than those listed above. I'd like to germinate all the seeds for this grow at one time...
Therefore, I'm asking for guesses here - what would you do? Plant the first five? The first four? Those, plus {???} additional seeds for the small containers? Something else entirely?
This is actually round two, in terms of attempted germination; I stuck a batch in water, in my oven for warmth - and then promptly forgot all about them. Which has allowed for some additional variety, at least, because the Critical XXL Auto and Auto Northern Hog weren't included at that time (thankfully, since it means that I still have them ).

I like to fight my plants to zip the tent closed.
