Watts per square foot. The average LED grow light draws about 40 watts to cover 1 sq ft for flowering. HID lights draw about 62.5 watts per sq ft. The energy saving that growers can expect from using LED grow lights instead of HID is around 38%. This energy savings only takes into account to savings growers gain when using LEDs fixtures. With very little water, since the pots will be very large and the plants very small. 200-300ml per plant is enough for 18L pots, which means you can water them every 2 or 3 days without flooding them. On sunny days with high temperatures and low humidity, your plants might need more water, so you can double the amount, but try not to saturate Came here to say pretty much this. u/parsing_trees uses one litre pots of coco to grow nine plants in a 2x2. I’ve just finished an auto plant that would have happily taken up a 4x2 tent on its own in a five gallon fabric pot, using biobizz soil, nutes and knf/aect inputs. 1. parsing_trees. Autoflowers can yield up to 100 grams (3.5 oz) per plant, with averages between 30-70 grams (1-2.5 oz). Outdoor photoperiod plants can yield up to 400 grams (13 oz) per plant, with averages between 150-250 grams (5-8 oz). Indoor photoperiod plants can yield up to 750 grams (26 oz) with averages between 300-500 grams (10-17 oz). LED Root Max Lights, which provide an average of 577 µmol each at a distance of 3″ above the plants using just 103 watts each. This is an excellent option for vegetative or green plants. LED Ditto Max Lights, which provide an average ppfd of 849 µmol each at a distance of 6″ above the plants using just 193 watts each. • 2–4 large/4–6 medium plants per square metre • Outcomes: Suitable for autoflowers (no topping needed), best for beginners, requires no major recovery time LST is a beginner-friendly training technique. Regular autoflowering plants are small, yielding between 10 and 50 grams per plant. You cannot expect a strain with a fast and short flowering time to produce more than 30 grams but super autoflowers can yield 200-300 grams if you give it the perfect environment. How long does it take autoflower to mature? Under ideal conditions, certain autoflower strains can yield up to 10-12 ounces of bud per plant. Yield is sometimes stated in ounces per square foot to help you make the most of your growing space. High-yielding autoflowers can produce 1-2 ounces of flower per square foot. How to Maximize Yields in Autoflowering Plants Should you decide to cultivate inside, an average guideline to follow is to have around nine 11-litre pots in about 10 square feet. Other helpful pot sizes would be: ½ litre – For young plants with a height up to ½ foot; 2-3 litres – For plants with a height up to 0.8 foot; 5 litres – For plants with a height around 2 feet; You should maintain a stable 18/6 or 20/4 light cycle throughout their full lifespan. Adjust your PH levels – autoflowering plants grow best in 6.2 to 6.8 PH for vegetative and 6.5 to 7 PH for flowering ranges when growing in soil and 5.8 to 6.2 for vegetative and 5.5 to 6.5 for flowering when grown hydroponically.
