Hi everyone, I have a question. I was wondering if anyone has tried growing an auto flower in a 5-gallon bucket inside a 2'x2'x55" grow tent? I know it might depend on the strain. But I'm trying to get a general answer. I googled the question, but I'm trying to get other opinion.
Thanks J
 
Could very well work if you set it up proper I’m sure.. I’m running 4 autos in 3.6gal in a 3x3x6’
Already topped them all; planning on LST

I’d assume you’d have to do some kinda trimming/training for that 55” height

what kind of light?

No need for such large pots.

I have grown autos in 20 litre (5.2 US gallon) pots, both outdoors and in a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2.2m tent. I had read that the bigger the pot the better for autos.
 
Do n five all the time u will need to be bending over the plants early on unless your light can be hung at very top. But can’t see why not. Would love to be forced into bending stuff over for bigger buds
 
It is pretty difficult to understand exactly what you're asking. You asked if anyone had grown in that size pot. I have. You didn't ask if anyone would grow in that size pot again - I wouldn't. 10 litres is plenty.
 
You can tie down and keep it pretty low. These were grown in a DWC, but you can see what low riders they are. No topping, only tie downs.
