All 8 ogk and Cj are auto fems seeds

the unknown just bagseeds

Always thought to put seedling in very small containers I've seen sooo many solo cups but hey yea I got a bunch of gallon pots but then I'm down to maybe 3 in there

2 liters sound sweet never thought of that
Probably should have only germinated 1 or 2 at max for that cab size. What are you going to do with the extra ones? Have a buddy you can sell the sprouts to get your money back?
With the bagseeds, you can continually top them to keep them small for another time under a small light somewhere else

You can grow the auto's in 2 liters. That will keep them all smaller. I grew one like that and she got to be about 18" tall and about 2.5oz. 8 is gonna be a real tight fit but transplanting may stunt them anyways. :/

With autos the tap root determines flower. Start autos in final pots.

When I was doing scrog grows I regularly started seeds in 5-7 gallon pots.

With my experience I'll be lucky to have one healthy female but thank you! I'm going to try the liters in the morning hope they continue to grow after I try to transplant

Dinafem Critical+ 2.0 auto in a 50ml container (about 1.5" in any direction) grew to 8" and started to flower around week 2. Got a joint worth, never tried it but it smelled VERY lemony. lol. Join a grow comp on my 1st grow? Hell yes! lol.

Oh @BurningMan03 you could try gently slicing the bottom off the cup off and planting the whole cup in a larger container. A safety razor that only exposes a mm or 2 would be best. A guy in the auto section has had good luck with this.

I was thinking of put them in bigger containers but I sliced one down the side and around the bottom...fell part bad... I thought it was going to die..plant the whole solo cup will really work?????

I haven't done it personally, but I've seen it done successfully by a few people. Provided it's done early enough, I think you'll be okay. Transplanting is the only "no-no" thing for auto's I haven't toyed with yet. Mostly because too violent of LST stunted one on me because I pulled on the roots. Lesson learned about an auto's roots.

Are small square footage grows a waste of time? I.e. PC grow boxs, cabinet and closet grows?
They're definitely worth the time invested.
When done right, they can be a nice environment for your plants, all contained in a solid, easily movable cab.
When the stealth factor is added the micro/cab is made bad ass.
Here's mine, pretty similar to yours.
4 CXM22 3500k 90cri cobs @200w, diy carbon filter(a must), diy alum. angle lightproof intake, 2 pc fans for circulation, and a terra bloom 6 inch exhaust fan with speed controller.

Good luck with your dresser bro!
And again, they're so worth it.

Yes i think so plus all these big ops you see on here had to start somewhere.. Im using a 2.5w x 4L space of my closet and i have never grown any kinda plant in my life. Im using about 700 watts of blurple light so about 350 true watts. Ill get 3 to 4 oz my first run so im happy. I have about 300$ in the whole set up.

Are those cobs from the Horticulture Lighting Group?

I guess my only question now if lightning... pretty sure I wana go led... I saw some viperspectra par series in my price range. When I asked about them there were 1k people that hated them 100 loved them so idk....heat and cost are my biggest concerns...that I know of
A vipar will do decent in your cab.
I believe a vipar 450 is about 200 actual watts.
They can grow some nice plants.
