6 plants in 1m x 1m tent. Too crowded?

Not looking great as had a mini heatwave and tent got to high temps.

should I still wait longer before chopping?

thanks

Looks great. Just make sure theres a little airflow on the underside of the canopy and youre golden. Update us on some final flowering pics. Interested in seeing those plants pack that tent with buds like a sardine can.

How long have you been flowing now? I didnt realize from my last response that this was an older thread and your flowering is almost done haha. Looks like they need a little more time to me

April the7th the germinated seeds were planted. They are autos so not sure exactly when flowering started as lights on 18hrs all way through.

Ok So maybe around July 7th they would be ready? 90 day autos on average.

I’m a bit concerned about the sugar leaves. A fair few are going brown and crisp. Not sure if it’s too much heat (I’ve turned the lights down) of if it some kind of wind burn.

I'd be concerned as well; check for bud rot.

Cant see any rot but lots of crispy sugar leaves . Wondering if I just chop it down now

I'm sorry you're doing Autos. 6 is doable but I would use a bigger Light.

Right now on one Tent have 400W which is doing ok and have 700W in the other Tent.

Pick them off and keep an eye on them.

My Autos when I grow them has been 10-14 weeks. If a few leaves are turning pick them off.

Yes heat will effect the Buds. They will open up to be cooler.

Seeing a fair bit of fox tails now. I don’t know if that’s the heat again

Can't really tell but pretty dang close to cutting.

Getting closer

Running out of patience now lol

surely it will be ok to chop now or should I leave it another week?

Another week would be preferable

Stop thinking plant count and start thinking canopy size & light footprint. I grow plants in 10 gal pots 4 ft wide by 4 ft wide, bigger than your whole tent. That said, I could stuff that tent full of colas with 1 plant where I could also put a bunch of small plants and fit 4.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will go for two plants on next run and try and fill the canopy with just the two plants.

If you are seeing necrosis in the buds or necrosis in leaves connected too buds like sugar leaves you should chop asap and look for mold

it would be best to get these hairs brown and dying looking also they should be more inside the bud.that would mean the flower reached its maximum size.you will lose a lot of weight because of impatience.

you have a few tops with those soo if you are really that impatient to smoke cut a few heads dry them im paper bags and wait for the rest with some smoke...

you can go 30 plants if you want.you just have to water more plants and veg shorter time.4 is optimal for me but its all about you, how much work you want to do


allsoo whats this looks scary like spider silk or...
