Here’s my current grow. Clockwise from back left: Skywalker OG (Barney’s), 2x Forum Stomper (Mephisto), and a Sangria freebie. Got a little light burn (?) on the tallest of them. Have backed off distance and intensity. Around day 49. Running a journal too.

These were a couple autos I harvested earlier in the summer. From left to right 2 MSG Auto by 20/20, Biggest one is Big Bomb auto
These are all cured now. The MSG autos have an absolutely amazing smell, high myrcene, skunk, garlic, fuel, diesel, very pungent. The Big Bomb is larfy very frosty, strange bud structure, the smell is earthy, musty, nothing special after cure but sweet and skunky and pungent when growing.

Hey auto growers, this is my first grow in a dozen years. Was running dutchgrown genetics from IC for my last grow lol. Anyways, I’m doing some mint jelly auto and lemongrass auto freebies from Humboldt seed co.
Im starting to get a bit worried 6 may be too many for my 4x4 (ac infinity grow kit) after seeing a lot of these photos. I’m curious if anybody try’s to control plant size in veg by keeping the light dimmed and then hitting them with full force after the stretch. Any thoughts on this?
still need to configure my final pot locations and shorten some tubing but the self draining pots are working well so far. Drip system is also still in progress

Dimming the light will do the opposite, they’ll stretch for the light.
Best thing to do if the plants are vigorous and healthy is topping/LST.
If not growing so well then just some LST.
6 is probably the max you want in a 4x4. But genetics play a very big role in autoflowers as the veg time is limited. Some may stay squat and others fill half of your tent.
I do 4 big ones (20l/12l) and 2 little ones (5L) in my 4x4 and seems to work well

Here's a weekly update on the Aeque Alien cherry Kush and @CoastalMarySeeds Sour Lemon Haze and Rainbow Kush strains. Week 7 from pop on the far left and right and week 6 from pop for the Sour Lemon in the middle. @Raise’N’Toast , these are in a 2x4 tent, so depending on the strains you're growing, you should have room if you train them. It'll be pretty packed I'd imagine, but doable.
These are close to all 4 sides of the tent at this point

Your tent looks excellent! I’m comfortable with a packed room like yours...kinda what I’m aiming for. I more meant keeping the light as close as safely possible on like 30 or 40 percent until I see some hairs then cranking it up. I’m probably just overthinking it. I’ve got them all in 2 gallon fabric pots filled with Mother Earth coco. Gonna water 3 or 4 times a day. They should be pretty vigorous. Thanks for the response, much appreciatedDimming the light will do the opposite, they’ll stretch for the light.

Looking nice and healthy! Thanks for the reference point. I’ll update as things get a little more exciting

I mean it doesn’t matter how they get their light it’s just a weather it’s enough. So you’ll save money keeping it closer/less wattage but make sure the spectrum isn’t affected by dimming.
For squat plants blast them light. I was amazed at how compact LED can keep your nodes!
Aye they’ll be happy ladies, post some updates, was having a nosey at Humboldt strains
