Next Grow Ideas

Hey all, since my current grow (in my signature) is coming to an end in a few weeks, i'm beginning to plan my second grow.

Im a bit more limited on time this time round, so was thinking rather than getting a few big photoperiod plants and going through a month or so of veg then flowering them, that I could get maybe 6-10 autoflowering plants.

Like this they will be much smaller than my current ones so I assume will be able to fit more in my tent. Advantage to having several plants being its more guaranteed to get my desired yield, and should be ready within 10 weeks from seed if all done correctly?

How many autoflowering plants would you all recommend in a 1.2mx1.2mx2m tent? do you think i could fit around 8-10 with a 400w mh/hps?
Also, i know there is going to be alot of mixed opinions on this, but what would really be better; growing a photoperiod plant 12-12 from seed or just get some autoflowering ones?

Also any advice on strains? would like a nice mix.

Thanks all!

Why not just do 6-10 photoperiod seeds but don't veg em long if at all. You can get far superior yields to auto's and a far superior range of genetic, and undiluted genetic at that.

That was my other idea, I still have a Critical+ and Cloud #9 seeds left over so could use those too. I think this way i would veg them for a couple of weeks.

How many plants do you think i could fit to the point where they can all get sufficient light? and how big should the pots be?

Thanks!
