First Auto Setup (advice needed)

I've only played with auto's on a couple of closet grows in DWC buckets. It's a 2.5'x2'x5' cubicle running my 300 watt Vesta strip retro-fitted blurple panel. A pair of plants will completely fill that space, so I'd be hesitant to run more than 3 in your space unless you're sure the genetics stay compact.

I would be comfortable doing 4 plants in that space. If you truly run out of room, you can always remove one. I like to think of more plants as a good insurance policy. Whats an extra pot of dirt and seed? 20 bucks? If it ends up not fitting in the tent, all you lost is 20 bucks. Relocate the weakest of the 4 plants to the trash. But if you do end up being able to fit it, you will now yield 33% more. When were talking each plant putting off 3-4 oz, that little extra investment could get you a whole lot of extra yield.

I grow in 3, 5 and 7 gallon IMO it's all up to the grower. I tend to have big gals regardless although they tend to get bigger in 5 and 7 they take longer to finish

A five gallon pot for an auto is going to be overkill. 3 gallon is recommended for autos.

Hi, I appreciate your advice in this thread. I'm also just starting a Gorilla Glue auto and I'm wondering about the light cycle. From what I've heard, 18 on and 6 off is the deal. What are your thoughts? Also, do you have any temperature/humidity recommendations for the light/dark cycle? Thank you in advance!

I use 20/4 cycle with auto's.
My space runs low 80's and RH in the 50-70% range depending on growth stage.
My dark temps are perhaps 10 deg cooler.

Thanks so much, buddy, what humidity do your recommend for seedlings?
