    Starting new grow with AC Infinity 2x4x6

    I want to grow 3 plants if possible

    I have FastBuds seeds already, I will grow 1 auto gorilla cookies, and 2 auto seeds from their mystery pack, planning on letting the cookies stretch so she gets the 5 gallon then mystery each get a 3 gallon. I will mount the filter and fan outside the tent in case the cookies wants to really run.

    Growing in coco with fabric pots, recharge and grow dots

    Is this too many plants for a 2x4x6? Better to run 2 five gallons instead?

    Grown in high desert climate 70-80 deg inside tent need space for humidifier too

    Hoping for around 6-8 oz dry total

    I would prefer quality and variety over quantity so am even considering 6 three gallons

    Feel free to chime in about my grow plan in general

    Thank You! 🤙

    I also plan to start the seeds directly in their final pots

    Personal it matter to you what type of growing u do.what time and effort u got to put into the grow.if you looking for the best weed u want 2 big plants my personal look into this set up is based of what you got goin on 2 plants is better than 6 you get more for ya bud unless you wana try out 6 and play around with a few of them to see what u can increase or add to make them more potent or bigger dencer flower it what.you wana focus on that makes the grow a success quilty u want then 6 is best as you can up 1 or 2 add sumat to 1 or 2 plus maintain easyier

    I wouldn’t go over 3, but me personally, I would grow 2 in a 2×4. I almost always grow 4 plants in my 4×4.

    I think of it like this, how much are you willing to bottle neck each plant to get more flavors? With staking and scrog methods, you can get the plants to fill out. If you’re gonna waste time on growing the plant, might as well let them go to their full potential.

    And running autos, it’s hard to run sea of green. Some will naturally be much smaller and get over run by the big ones.

    I have 3 plants in a 2×4, if it helps. 5gal fabric, on SF sip system. Humidity has been a bit of an issue, so I’m only doing 2 next time.

    I don’t do autos. Only do photos. But you do you. 3 5 gallons fits fine. If you’re in desert low humidity climate humidity shouldn’t be a big issue. Humidity can be an issue. I run a dehumidifier to keep mine down. 6” you’ll have room to stretch but I recommend a trellis net or training. I don’t like when I have one stretchy plant and one squat unless you raise the squat plants up to be at the same canopy level.

    Thank you everyone! I think I will try one 5 gallon and two 3 gallons. Average outdoor humidity is 25%-30% here in summer should be ok with three I hope. The only reason I said six plants is because I can grow out the mystery seeds in them, but I really think the gorilla cookies will be my daily vape that’s why she gets the 5 gallon.
