Good work. If any are top heavy, don't be shy to support with plant tie so they branch doesn't completely break from leaning over and downward. Keep it 90 degree.
Outgrowing my tent...bend over stems?

I have to agree to it looks great, your set up to max out that space yield wise for this run, good job. If you add a trellis next time so you can get the branches spread out from each other it would do a bit better. But I think for this strain and style of training you did it just right.
Cool, yeah I did the trellis on my 4 auto flowers in the bigger tent. They leaned more sativa and I think it helped
How are your autos coming out, I've never had much luck with them. I ran two 3x3 tents with em once and didn't get a QP combined. That being said I was trying "so hum" dirt some brand that was supposed to be just add water. The guy at the store that told me about it and I talked later and we both had a ton of issues that run and he said his yields were like a quarter of usual yields.
The only other time I've tried an auto was in a dwc bucket it was an XL white widow and at 120 days it was no where near done,(it looked like a reg at about 20 days into flower) I just trashed it cause it is was in the way. Admittedly I could have changed out the water more frequent but I just got tired of messing with it after so long.
Well, on my first run of autos (strains were White Widow, LSD, & Jack Herer from Crop King Seeds in Canada) they ended up super stunted (12” tall), but that was my fault because they were too hot and under watered. Total of 2.5oz between the 3, lol so it was a really low yield.
For this current round I dialed things in and have the same 3 AF strains, plus a Gelato AF strain and they’re about 3ft tall. 4 AFs fill up the 32x32 space to about max...clockwise from back left; Gelato, White Widow (both in early flower) and in front the JH and LSD, which are a week or two from harvest. I’m sure the yield will increase by multiples.
The photosensitive Maple Leaf is my first non AF, so I don’t have much comparison to go by.

Have you measured that at the wall with a watt meter or are you going off what you see online?
At first I tried the homemade yeast + sugar, but that was a PITA and probably cost more than buying a 20lb tank with regulator, which is what I did. I turned it off a couple weeks ago when I realized I don’t want the plants to grow so big, haha.
I have a half bath in the basement that needed remodeling, then after I tore out the vanity & toilet I realized I had a better use for the space, lol...it vents out the bathrooms exhaust, which is a perfect solution, just kinda a small space, but I get both tents in there.
and of course I have the exhaust pulled through charcoal filters inside the tents.
Here’s the plants from my first go...pretty sad, lol, but the weed still turned out tasty and strong. That was when the hot air was just recirculating in the small space, the temp dropped about 15-20F after I started venting out the ceiling exhaust fan.

I haven’t measured the light yet, just went with the recommended heights. My 32x32” has the Mars TSW2000 (Input 300 watts). I’ve put the lights pretty close and haven’t had any issues yet.
The whole setup uses just over 600 watts when both tents are on.
