First Grow 2x2x4 Tent

This is my first attempt at growing.

Very limited in where I could grow so the tent is the loft above the insulation so somewhat exposed to the outside temperature fluctuations.

I am growing 2 autoflowers from Fast Buds.

Cream Cookies Auto and Purple Lemonade.

Both are growing in 2 gallon fabric pots filled with a 75%/25% mix of Biobizz light mix and perlite. Only added water so far.

Using the ACI tent, S22 lights, inline and controller and also using a smart soil moisture probe which seems to be working quite well so far

Cream Cookies Day 15

Purple Lemonade Day 15

Any and all advise welcome and very much appreciated

Looks fine so far. What's the metal pole in one of the pots? Also, you're getting close to the time where you could consider low-stress training if you want shorter bushier plants.

Might be worth thinking about nutrients soon as well. The pots are pretty small, but it will work. The plants will just be smaller than if you had used a larger pot, of course.

The metal pole is a smart soil moisture probe. The part you insert has 3 moisture sensors at different levels but only testing it out at the moment.

This is the output

What is the best approach to keep them short?

Should I top them? And if so do I need to that before I start LST?

I'm planning to use the Biobizz liquid nutes for the next watering, likely to be late tomorrow or early Thursday.

Just done some leaf tucking so far.

I wouldn't top an autoflower. You will have to Google it to see the opinions on it. But everyone agrees that low-stress training is a good thing to do. Just look up low-stress training, and do it. It will keep your plants short and bushy. Just need some wire to die down the plant
