Need Some Advice for Grow Number Three

Hi Everyone!

I am getting ready for my third grow need some advice. My first two grows went well but I think I can do better with regard to bud size, density and potency.

I was pretty happy with both grows, but I should have cut off more of the smaller secondary stems on the photoperiod grow. I think I had too many colas and less would allow the main ones to get bigger. Quality over quantity.

One the second grow, I moved to a 4x4 tent so I had room for two humidifiers, heater and a couple fans. Very dry in Illinois during winter. The larger tent made the environment easier to control and gave me space to move things around.

The Autos in grow 1 were pretty decent sized buds, but could have been a little more potent. The photoperiods from the second grow are providing a decent buzz, but are a little larfy. I would like to start using some bud boosting nutrients to assist.

Even though I only plan one growing four plants, I think I need more light as in two Viparspectra V600's or a better light overall. So, what do you recommend for growing four plants in a 4x4 tent. An additional Viparspectra or something better and if so, what?

What about Density boosting supplements like Floralicious Plus? Any suggestions?

Below are the details from my two first grows and I have attached some images if anyone is interested.

I am hope to gain some insight from the forum and any information would be most appreciated!

Buddy those look like successes to me. Had to look up your light. That's a blurple if I saw the right one. That would be my first improvement. Get a light with good diodes like Samsung 301.b. I only do autos in organic indoors so I'm no help with the medium. Your cramming 3 plants into a small area. That space is only good for 1 good auto if grown in a 3 to 5 gallon pot. How was the hulkberry? Heard good things.
 
Yeah. This time I'm gonna do three photoperiods in the 4x4 tent. Thanks for the tip on the 301b lights. I am considering them so its good to get some confirmation. The Hulkberry is very yummy!
 
I started with two humidifiers in the 4x4 tent with a 6" exhaust fan on low and the intake cut to 50%. Otherwise I could not keep the 50-65% humidity in the beginning. Not very humid during a Chicago winter.

I got a Vornado Evap40 for the whole grow. and the second one is a Honeywell HCM-710. I had both in the tent for about 6 weeks and I kept the Honeywell going on max the entire time it was in there.

Both are analog evaporative so I did not have a mist issue and because they were analog, I could plug them into my Inkbird ITC-608T to control the humidity.

Also used BestAir Humidifier Bacteriostatic & Water Treatment Combo to keep the water fresh. Changed the filters every 6 weeks.

Hope that helps!
