Box 21x21x48 inches forget everything else u know about growing I want to know in a Dwc system how many autos I could or should fit and do what type of training? And how much do you see of dry weight from the box? Cfl will be the lights.. If you recommend soil why? Want the most from the small box

Your only gonna be able to do one or maybe two plants in that space. Once you get your light, fans, airpump, tubes and power cords you'll see what kind of room you really have. I've grown single autos that would fill that whole space.

you can do one but. BUT a little tip that might help in yield as my goal has always been a pound per plant under a scrog net 4'x4'.

You can try this in the future (if you already knew it well my apoligise =))

What I did to a plant and gave me 530 grms:

Veg the plant and top it once at the main steam after the 4th node. start giving it silica (see label for ratios amounts) so it can bend easily and the branches wont brake easy. So cut the top then for the next two weeks feed it silica as a add on to ur current feeding program. in like 12-15 starting bending the plant on a side by pulling it down with twine so the plant it will start growing to one side. and help her keep up with bambos (this is before going under a scrog net) THEN just [ush it a little harder with nutes so it push a bit more so one of the side of the plant will become ANOTHER TOP. So now the right side and the left side are TOPS you will get a big yield increase but you need to work that plant in order to achieve great results.

This method can be applied to any size plant before flipping it to flower mode, if is auto well is easier =)


Hope you understand what I just wrote while high as f@ck.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I hear autos don't like being cut up? And with the pump will be hanging electronics up water down I plan on using four power strips with plug in base for CFL to maximize space biggest issue here is what size buckets or totes for how many plants and in a ball park of how much dry weight trying to max yield I have no internal filter taking up space fans mounted biggest items is gunna be the light fixture and pots

I vote for 1 plant, non auto flower. Top it when you have 2-3 nodes, let those branches grow 2-3 inches then tie them down, and top them again.. repeat that process until your have the screen filled. Then switch the lights to 12/12.

Another option would be to line the walls with a metal screen as well. This will allow you to 'scrog' the plant vertically as well as horizontally. Since your using cfl's you shouldn't have an issue letting those lights get real close to the buds. If you choose to add the vertical screen into the mix, make sure you don't get carried away with the veg time. Leave some space for the plant to stretch during flower.

Im scared if I go non autoflowers then it'll double my harvest time and won't yield enough to compensate til the next plant is done. Any thoughts advice anything lol?
