This is my last grow in there.
Around 7oz under around 150w led. Humidity was a nightmare, but it worked out in the end

OK, nice but you have to read more carefully - im not about two big monsters, huge yield from 2 plants or scrog set up. Im about trying making a sog from autoflowers in tiny space. No offense i appreciate your example

A sog with autoflowers sounds pretty risky unless you are running all the same strain, but even then, I feel like phenos could make that turn out wonky. Not to mention if they don't all start at the same time. I feel like photo would be the way to go.

A sog is clones with limited or no veg harvested for their tops.... Autos will never be a sog
Use them for what they are good for.

Pot size doesn't affect autos a lot. Even with 1 liter pots the plants grew to the tent's ceiling, same as 5 liter pots. The difference was I had to water the 1 liter pots multiple times a day, it was harder to keep them healthy and the buds were fluffier/less yield. So as a way to control stretch, pot size isn't a very good method.

If you’re considering photo periods how are u going to heat the night cycle?
If energy is a cause for concern running just the light 20/4 18/6 is cheaper than using a space heater. They can consume 1-2kw when your lights using a fraction of that
Food for thought

2x2 i can run in a already heated place, im planning to put 2x4 next season in unheated wooden summer house so ill need oil heater or maybe tube heater in a tent - but i have to cut costs just now. 1.5-2 kw with 2x4 would be necessary but not during all grow running continously if i chose good weather. At first i was scared how much heating cost but running AC is very similiar in terms electricity. I ll also choose autoflowers to have lights for longer period for that unheated place. A little off top but i wonder if those solea or tube heaters can heat enough the tent if the outside temps would be 0-10 degree celcius, but i think it dont gonna work cause to savw heat in a tent i would have to run fan on very low speed and that will build up humidity tok much. For my 2x2 i think im gonna run 2x2 gallon pots and try 1 1 gallon along them to see how it ll behave, gonna kill it wont fit. Thank you for support and knowledge guys !

Impressive for such a small tent

Luck mostly. Good pheno's
Regardless of plant numbers, my average in there was around 5oz per run

In a 2x2, take 4 Pepsi 2 liter bottles and cut the tops off just above the label when it starts to taper in. Poke a hole 2" up from the bottom just abit smaller than a pencil hole. These are hempy buckets. Get coco and feed 1x every day until flower and go 2x a day. Just enough to see a bit of feed coming out of the holes. I have gotten 2.5 oz this way before on my best plant. 1.5 to 2 is normal though.

The ones from last photo is a good example of how big they can get in small pot, wow !. I saw 45 cms autos in 5liters pot on growdiaries (amnesia haze auto fastbuds that can reach more than 1 meter). Gonna try under 1 gal pots in future, im going with 2 x 6 liters in 2x2 + 1x3,8 liter that is gonna be thrown away when overcrowd space just to see the difference

Biggest thing is it's not gonna happen in soil. Coco, perlite or a mix of the 2 if you want. I get lazy too and only feed 1x a day. If you feed 2x in flower they'll make mine look meh...

I usually run 4 - 24 oz pots (plastic honey buckets) in my 2'x2'x4' LED grow box but have run up to 6 - 2.5 qt buckets, using HPS, in the past... Pot size does help control overall plant height... In the 2.5 qt buckets I usually had to top but with the 24 oz buckets I don't... This is regardless of what strains were grown...
