Auto's and fem's together.

[Bruce Lee]

I am planning an auto and fem grow together. The auto's for some fast buds and the fems for a larger yeild.

 

I am planning on growing four fems and some auto's in a 1.2 x 1.2 tent. I am going to plant everything at the same time and let the fems have a good 60 - 90 days vegging along with the autos, I can always trim them if they start getting too big.

I have never grown auto's before and have heard that you just plant them in a 10 litre pot and they grow and finish when they want, in about 60-90 days. I am not expecting great yeilds from them and one or two ounces a plant would be great.

 

Can the auto's be left under my veg T5 light with the fems for their entire duration or do they need to go under a HPS light at some point? Will the fems be ok if I run a HPS as well when they are vegging?

 

How many auto's can I fit in the tent in 10 litre pots with my four Fems as well? Variety is the spice of life, I was thinking three auto's? Could I fit five or six, or would it be too much for the tent, with the fems at the back?

 

Thanks.

4 photos in 10 litre pots vegged for 60 days will fill a 1.2m² space and leave no room for the autos.

I was kinda hoping that there would be enough room for all, I could trim the fems or plant them a couple of weeks later to give room for the auto's.

My thoughts were that the auto's would be smaller, take up less space, and give a smaller yeild.

Maybe I should hold off for a few weeks and plant five or six auto's and trim the auto's so they do not take up much room and give the fems a chance to catch up?

 

Would the auto's still flower under a T5 veg light?

I would veg for 3 weeks and then do them all under hps with 12/12 lights

You can flower anything under a T5 , I just wouldn't recommend it

 

[badbillybob]

iwould do either all autos or all photos, doing both is madness

Basically repeating whats been said above.

You will quickly run out of room and iirc Autos are best run at 18/6 and not 12/12 so yield will be affected.

 

Have you got a different tent?

I have a 1.2 x 1.2 flower tent and a 800 x 800 veg tent.

I am growing my first Auto in the veg tent (where its staying) and i just raise up any babies with upturned empty pots

I find 20/4 is the sweet spot for autos and yield.
