2 plants 1 large pot.

[qwertyonion]

Could I use a large (7 gallon) smart pot for 2 plants?

2 auto flowers

2 photos

I would assume it would stunt them a bit. But im at a 4 plants/only room for 2 pots scenario due to ordering the wrong size. And im only growing in a 2'x3'x5' cabinet.

They would fight each other the whole way, starting with the roots.

Kinda figured. Maybe I will just try to focus on the 2 autos.

If you only have 2'x3', you only have room for 2 plant no matter how you pot them, unless you flip the light fast and keep them small.

Next round i prob will. Unless I get a second light/tent soon enough. The photo seeds were free and i have TONS, the autos I paid for. So hey are priority for the first grow.

Long time ago we would put 5 or6 seeds in a 5 gallon bucket, when they showed sex we would cut the males down and let the females grow, sometimes it would be 2or 3 females growing in one 5 gallon bucket.
Maybe not the perfect plan, but we always ended up with some fine bud and lots of it.
These were grown outdoors,

Not sure how to go about it. I Definitely don't want to waste the autos. Because im dry until thats cured and harvested So I think I will just do them both LST'd. Save the photos for next time, or when the feminized seeds, not randos from the 70's lol

Personaly if u only have 2x3x 5 for space only grow 1 photo or 2 autos max! Its gunna be super crouded with 2autos so u will have to lst and defol a lot! U could grow 2 autos in a 7gal pot and ull be ok they will just be stunted a lil bit. If u do grow 2plants in a 7gal make sure to lollypop and defol or u will have a higher chance of bud rot

 

[tyler_ hobbyist]

Autos grow an average of 1.5x1.5x3. If u use fabric pots u will be fine just get a little tray for extra water because your roots will go thro the fabric and they will dry up and die and stunt ur growth a lot more unless u have a container of water they can go into

[oldjarhead100]

hey Qwerty those photos will be just about perfect to throw into bloom when the autos are done just keep topping them that way when your ready they will be two . if its room you can put them under a t5 on a table or floor in a closet, I get all my t5s from growershouse.com best pricing iv'e seen yet good luck, cfls would work to,any light source for veg is ok

 

[qwertyonion]

Well. I have a whole unfinished basement...

 

[oldjarhead100]

haha thats where my room is so I have everything down there except for the clone/seedling area that upstairs to be tended to 3 or 4 times a day, I built a coule of areas for smaller plants by building a simple 2x4 frame hanging the light and wrapping it in flexable insulation(bought at Lowes). I posted this picture so you can see the insulation these girls are touching the lights had to raise set up with bricks under the legs lol
