How big can a feminized plant grow with a 6 month veg in a 7 gallon air pot?

Hello everyone, first question here since I've joined. I have been growing autos for all of my grows and I'm sitting on 5 fems and I'm planning on germinating one soon in a seven gallon air pot. She's an indica so their tall propensity is a bit lessened and I do top and LST my plants (yes my autos) with no issues.

Any growers that have grown indica's indoors with a six month veg cycle give me perspective on the size she can get. I'm planning on buying a 24x24 additional tent or should it be 36x36?

I have three 7 gallon pots and one 3 gallon inside a 2x4 tent (24x48) all autos as my current setup. My last grow was 3 White Widow autos, two I topped one I didn't and she grew taller then my tent could accommodate.

Current grow On the Left Critical + 2.0
In the middle Critical Orange Punch
On the right Northern Lights
Up front strapped to C+2.0 is a topped 4 times Northern Lights in a 3 gallon pot only 5 weeks 2 days while the big three are 5 weeks 3 days into flowering.

My Northern Lights showing beautiful colors the picture is them a week apart.

Thanks for any responses in advance.

I have 4 autos that will be done and provide enough bud for my lungs long before I wanted to flower the photo period. If I'll need a 5x5 I definitely won't veg it that long. My photo seeds came free with my order of autos from seedsman and I want either a 24x24 or maximum size of 36x36.

I've never delt with photos but I'm aware they could double in size after the flip so I'll just go by the size of the plant getting to my liking before I flip and just LST and top per usual.

I have a bunch of Auto seeds and I'm hoping my friend will help me out and grow a SoG to offload some work from ppl assisting me.

I also wanted to veg her a while since I've gifted starter plants and plan to gift more starter plants and would rather do that with a clone vs my auto seeds.

Thanks everyone on replies, truly appreciate it.

This is a clone I vegged for 4 months because I had some health issues. I ended up having to take clones off it as it was just too damn big for my 5x5 with other plants. After stretch it would have been about 5-5.5' tall.View attachment 5269317

So what ended up happening to the beauty? You didn't flower her? Yeah that's definitely big and all I have is a 2x4 with room for another tent about half that size.

I'm getting ready to flip and no matter what I thought of I couldn't figure out a way to keep her. Ended up taking cuts to clone and chopping the plant. It was not fun after taking care of it for so long. I was hoping to find a place to keep it until spring and put it outside at 4 feet tall. Would have been a giant. It was the second run of it so it hurt worse knowing how nice the buds were. I just have too much going on in the tent to try and wrestle that big of a plant. There's northern lights, Purest Indica and pre 98 Bubba Kush in there now that's getting flipped tomorrow and three are decent sized. If you're vegging for 60 days or less you'll be fine in a 5 gallon air pot. Unless you're running a true organic living soil there's no need for 7 gallon pots. Especially if you're working in a 2'x2' tent. The big plant I culled was in a 4.5 gallon air pot for reference. IMG_20230310_153316348_HDR.jpg

Beautiful ladies you have my friend, in growing two Northern Lights autos instead of photos myself. Thanks for the response and I know that had to really suck doing that too your plant but yeah I agree if you can't accommodate sick a size plant is more trouble then it's worth.

In 6 months, you could run one plant full-term, even with a 3-month veg it would still be obnoxiously big to have in a tent. Then take a bunch of clones before you flip to 12/12, and give them 3 months to veg while the original one is flowering. It would take the same amount of time but be less of a headache trying to maintain a vegging plant for half a year, and likely get you more total yield in the end.

I'd pop all 5 seeds.. veg em 3 weeks and flower em.. take clones off each and see if any of them are worth a fuck before you waste 6 months veg and 2 more months bloom.

With 6 months veg you should be able to grow a damn tree but not in 7 gallons those girls are root locked and probably won't get much bigger then they are now until they bloom
