First tent grow and 2'x2'x6' is what I have to use because of stealth. Gonna try autopot system and can't decide if the smaller 3.9 pot is enough or should I get the "XL" 6.6 version. Only growing 1 plant so I'm thinking the more soil the better, but in such a limited space, will it really matter?71EKt8TGaFL._AC_UL600_SR600,600_.jpg3.9gal_pot_icon.jpg6_6gal-XL_pot_US.jpg

I regularly grow with two 5 pound fabrics on wick systems in a 2x4x5 twice a year, fits em nicely as long as you train them to be more wide then round and short to fit the tent shape well... So in my crazy brain i say go with two 3.9's and just mainline , scrog, keep em low and even. I'll shoot a pic in a min, gotta finish feeding my other girls.

1 or 2 plants. I'd go with the larger model. 3gal autos, 5-7gal fems n regulars. It's super easy to over grow a small tent. If you manage your veg time to flower you can control the explosion. It's hard to gauge because a lot depends on the strain you choose and your skill level. Good luck

Said by everyone with a spider mite infestation. It's the general filth, organic matter and dying leaves that will attract mites. You ever smell a BBQ from a quarter mile away? That's how bugs work, too. Why don't you just use a saucer to collect runoff?
I plan on using a pan to put it in. But waiting on my payday to buy more stuff. It was supposed to be today. But I guess the government is off today.

While ya wait..maybe a folded down trash bag...old tote storage container, I find drip trays at the dollar store usually. I need them deep enough to bottom feed.
ec121 is right. Ya need a clean area to grow or you invite craziness..lol.

I found a Tupperware cake tub that will do until payday. I also cleaned the floor.
you really need a slight separation at the base of pots that air can penetrate. the pests like the dark and wet areas. things like thrips decimate peoples entire grows. (so tiny you need a jewlers loupe) or one little fruit fly will populate the whole pot and start eating on the dead roots your creating with that setup.

I have to wait until I get paid. I'm broke. I had this in the house.

I'm planning on getting something wider than the pot in a couple of days. I'll be looking at getting a low profile oil drain pan.

My friend just get creative, you don't need money to add airflow throw a buncha leggos or even a big stick you can break into pieces and put between pot and floor. Just make a gap for airflow. If you can't manage it, run a fan at the base.

Good luck buddy!
