This is my first grow. I have a 4×4 tent. I want to grow 4 autos and 1 photo in the middle. My plan is when I harvest the autos I’ll flip the photo  to 12/12. Question is how would u train the photo and prune it to get the best results? Thanks from Newfoundland

    Since you will have a while to veg the photo, I would manifold it.

    That’s tricky. The best advice I can give you is to hold off on the 4 autoflowers and grow the 1 photo…next best is the opposite. Set yourself up for success, all 5 plants will be tricky and a lot to maintain for a first timer.

    If you reject that (lol) then here’s what you do…

    Start the photo about 3 weeks behind. This will greatly reduce the amount of work you will have to do. You could even go 4 weeks and end up harvesting the autos around the time you switch the lights. 5 plants fill a 4×4 quick, pick off or tuck leaves that lay on top of each other and top the photo no more than twice unless you need to even the canopy. Other than that, use some method of tying to fill the corners and utilize a square space as best you can.

      That’s a great idea to start the photo late.

    Love your response, I can’t wait To see other engaged growers comments.
    If you go to the hydro store and only one guy speaks English. Is that an issue?

    Dude. I’m from NFLD. West coast, within sight of Gros Morne mountain. Been in Alberta for over 35 years.
    I just took down my First Ladies. I heard this in another Dude grows podcast and liked it. My ladies were and I’m gonna love them for it
    They are frostitutes

    Environment dialed in with good lights is the key my friend. And a whole fn bunch of other things you’re gonna need to know if you want to grow dank. I’ve been in super heavy learning mode since popping my first seeds on May 13th and only now starting to know what to ask. Btw. I’m stoned as fuck right now from my own weed and it’s only half cured. Coot said it best “if you want good weed, you have to grow it yourself”
