auto questions

Id say thats about 1.4 feet wide and nice very cubic. But i was gonna either do them row, zig zagged, or spaced out in an even row. Preferably the row but could my 600w cover that whole 6ft of space?

Could i even do more than 6?

haha, I had to measure. You're right, she's 1.5 x 1.5 ish
I was looking at corner to corner in the pic, my bad!

I still have no idea with regards to your space though. My 4x4x6.5 ft tent doesn't arrive till this week so I don't have any experience with your situation. I plan to do 4 under a 300w LED as 2 are going great directly under it right now.

Have u heard of people using cfl lights on the Side so the lower canopy gets more light?

Yes sir. I hear it works pretty good too for more yield.

Hmm. I just cant let them get closer than 4" tho.... i could put them even with the 5 gal bucket lids

Your 600w will have no problem covering that space. Do not LST/top/scrog auto's, the first 3-4 weeks from seed are the most important of their entire life. During this period is where you're going to determine how big your plant is, and any stress or training will most likely hurt your yield as the plant doesn't have the time to recover like regular cannabis does.

Hell yeah! So no stress at all the first 4weeks got ya. U think i could fit 8 plants under that and still pull 2zips per plantz?

I don't know about eight. If I was working in a room that size and growing exclusively autos, I'd start with two in there and add two more every three weeks so I always had fresh stuff coming in instead of waiting for each cycle, but that's just me. I think six will be decently packed when they get bigger, eight would be fighting each other. As far as yield, you never know until it's over. I haven't grown out any of the strains you're growing, nor have I ever used a space that small. Assuming you keep temperature, nutrients, etc. on point I don't think 2oz a plant is unreasonable by any means, I've seen plenty of fairly simple first time auto grows that pulled 90+ grams per plant.

Right then 6 it is! And im doin them all at once cause once march comes im gonna gorrilla grow like 15 super cali haze auto. Ive found areas that are surrounded by trees and brush but have like 15-20ft clearing and the pine trees are only. 8-10Ft too and id be putting 2 per area. This strain produces 4-9zips a plant and is the most productive auto to date. I live out in the country (about 15min drive from city) but i have seen a few helicopters fly over that feild so im sketched a little. Does anyone have a cure for this paranoia? Helicopters are about 100ft up could they see my plants from there easily?( Aswell as running an indoor of course.) i have access to miles and miles of pine forest at my disposal

Does your paranoia have a logical basis? Are you growing legally on land that you own in accordance with state laws or are you just throwing some plants out in a wooded area near your house? If the helicopters are flying over looking for weed, they'll spot it no problem at all from 100ft and some of them are equip to pick up weed plants with some sort of thermal imaging.

If you do go guerrilla I'd advise not keeping all of your plants in one place. The less there are in one area, the more they blend in. I had a guerrilla grow a while back and having my plots separated saved most of my crop.

I have 5acres. But i didnt want to grow on my land cause of the risk that may take it away if i got caught
And no im in a illegal state. But its the sunniest one. Im sure u can guess which it is

Going to go ahead and guess Florida, as I moved from there to Colorado not too long ago. Swamp growing is pretty popular down there, or at least it was in my area. You'll be fine, they're not looking for that shit out there.

Even in Leon county?
Right then im gonna stick to swamp. Gotta watch out for them diamond backs and moccasins. Saw a black bear not even 30ft away up in a pine tree walking trails once.
Im gonna start a thread though when i start scoping out many spots. And take lots of pics. The only thing is i want to be able to water them once to twice a week. Im gonna do 20 autos 2 per spot within 2 sq miles think ill be safe?

Don't need to water them at all in the swamp, just plant them right by the water. Some people float them on rafts and do a DWC type thing where the entire swamp is the reservoir.

I wanted to be able to nute the water though. So i was gonna drill holes is 5gal buckets Fill em with ocean forest and burry them. Mark plants on a trail tracker. Also can i spray one my autos with something and that branch will make seeds?

That upper section by the x is where i live, these are the woods behind it doubt theyll be able to see my plants. But dont helicopters have infared that allows them to see a plants heat. Does this mean they could find my plants even if i space the out 1 every 100ft atleast

I think the infrared signature is picked up when they're clustered together. 1 plant here and there won't be an issue.

Thats also what i heard
thanks for confirmation!
Ill also be growing in straight pine forest which as said to put off the same level heat signature

Interesting. I know farmers here will put them randomly in the middle of their corn crops etc to blend in with the corn. 1 here, one there.
