Using 5 gallon buckets for autoflowers, 2 beans per bucket should be just fine?

Still working on dialing everything in for autos. Keep getting nute splash (darn shaky hands) nute burns which are minor now here an there. Have yet to have a impressive reward an this is my 3rd or 4Th round started now.

Nutes on hand: Sensi Bloom A & B, Voodoo Juice, B52, Big Bud, Bud Candy
1200w King led on a 6ft light rail 18-24 inches from tops with led shop lights and high watted CFLs hanging for lighting in an 8x8ft room which I only use half of currently with one grow tent sitting empty an idle. - been mixing 1/2 strengths on nutes per gallon maybe bit less.
Grow medium: Pro-Mix BX

Since reading here past little bit I'll readjust that to 1/4 strength. My watering schedule is all over the place lately and I'm not taking any notes which I know that I should be. Does anyone have any further advice or willing to help me out things or make changes for the better.

I'm on my third round with autos. From my experience I found out that they don't like sharing containers. I put 4 Early Miss girls in individual 3 gallon containers. I put one in a 5 gallon Phat Sack and that girl is twice the size and bulk as her siblings. I'll never go less than 5 gallon containers. I know people have had great experience with different different size containers, just sharing what happened with mine.

Both plants will be fighting for space and one will beat the other or could even take each other out, if you can transplant one plant.. if not pull one out to allow the other to grow without competition.
Dont mean to sound like a dick but if this is your 3rd or 4th go then things need to change, you need to put your heart into what you do, if you want to grow then you need to get your schedule right.
I can see you have done the research and im sure you will get there in the end.

My heart is certainly into this art. I have yet to try 2 or more into 1 pot or bucket. Just running the idea past other folks with more experience with autos is all. Just have a few tweaks to make an get use to using nutes with autos. I'm certainly starting a grow journal for my own research study an findings. Thank you for the feedback

the worst ever auto strain...IMO is shortstuff #1 auto

which I planted 4 beans in a 40liter/10usg? pot ..last christmas

they did poorly, as a trial and wanted these seeds gone

IMO write ya plan on a calender and stick to ur fridge door

very good results can be got from just 3usg/12 liters

why waste soil and time

good luck

Update: My Big Girl in the 5 gallon Phatsack is now the second largest plant. This girl in a small container blew up! Very shocked actually.
