Hey guys and gals. I am new to this site, but not to growing. I have not grown in about 4 years, but am ready to get back into it especially since I just moved to a new area. Anyways on to the reason I am here.

Here is the set upI will be using. The area is 36"h x 31"L x 20"W. I have a 400w mh/hps ballast. I have carbon filter, ozone generator to keep down the smell. Aircooled hood, 400cfm cooling fan, and will be using a drip system. I have mylar on the walls of my cabinet.

So with all that in mind, I ordered 5 fem each of White Dwarf, LR2, and AK47 x Lowryder. I am growing these auto-flowering strains due to my area constraints. I have a couple questions about these strains. First off with size of grow area in mind, how many SHOULD I be able to grow without giving up yeild due to overcrowding? I have read what I could on these strains, but any advice would be great. What should I expect as far as yeild with my equipment? How do these strains like their humidity, temp, ph, and ppm? Am I going to have to do a SCRoG grow and ad a screen because of heigth?

Thanks for any advice on the mentioned strains. Also, does anyone know any strains the are smaller plants? I would like to try some other strains that stay shorter. Also I am thinking of doing a grow journal, but am a little scared about posting pics on the site. Is it safe? Thanks!

P.S.
I am currently waiting on my seeds. They should be here in the next couple days, and I will get started.

Lol, it seems to happen a lot here.

I know that White Widow is somewhat of a smaller plant, good smoke too if you want to try that out. :)

ive never grown any of the autos yet, but from what i read, they are getting better and better with time... i think you should have plenty of height going with all autos.. i have read the yeild can be anywhere from say 1/2 ounce up to about an o per plant with autos.. strain and grower dependent of course.
i know that there is an auto strain resource thread here on riu that you can check out and im sure you would be able to find lots of good info on it although i have never checked it out personally.. along with great data on the thread, im sure you will also be able to find lots of helpfull people that are more than willing to share their info with you.. another thing you could do is search for grow journals on here for the strains that you are gonna be growing and see what others have done with the same strains and there setups and whatnot..
as far as starting a journal and all on here, i think its relatively safe and you don't have much to worry about aslong as your smart about what you post.. like don't post any pix that have you in them,, identifying properties of your grow house, etc.. its pretty sad that i have to tell you this, but i have seen some pretty stupid pix posted on this site that make you wonder how these people haven't landed themselves in jail yet, lol... just be careful and use your head and you will be fine..
lastly, just thought that i would say welcome to riu m8, and have a good time.. lots of good people around these parts that have plenty of good knowledge on growing and who are ore than willing to help you along your way.....
