I grew a RQS Jack Herer in a GQ60 (pic below). My current 2 litre soils autos would also probably just fit in a GQ60

The main challenge was distance to lights.

If you are going to try it I would suggest:

Don't be afraid to do a lot of HST and LST, plenty of trimming etc. All will be needed to keep the plant under control and away from the light

I'd be aiming to use a small pot, as shallow as possible in order to maximise light to plant distance. You should be able to get a good bit of bud from a shall 2 litre pot. Maybe something like an ice cream tub?

Thanks @flip

Did you have the tent vertical or horizontal?

LEDs or HPS?

Extraction and fans?

Shit man, those buds look mad good!

Was it a soil grow?

*off to the fridge to finish the ice cream* :lol:
ISH100 led
Extract was outside the tent (sucking like a goodun)
Horizontal tent
Coco grow!

I'm currently growing some dutch passion Auto Cinderella Jack which I have kept quite small topped and lst when I last run them. I'm in a bud box pro 75x75x160CM.

The last 2x indoor grows over done were all prity much about a 100cm tall, one that grew smaller and stockier, the ones I’ve grown outside seem to be about 60/70cm, these sizes are with topping at the 4th node. Keeping the light limited to 12/12 may keep its size down in veg and stretch and maybe bump it upto 18/20 hours on to fatten it up during flower light work, personally though I think a gq60 is too small to flower a plant to its full potential
Thanks dude. Fully appreciate it. It's just an experiment...I'm not after vast yields. Its just something I can keep in my room next to my desk whilst I'm working...reminding me of the more beautiful things in life :barmy:
😁, yeah man I feel you, give it a go is maybe go for 12/12 that should slow it down abit, also limit the light it gets what light you thinking of using?
I got a Fecida cr600 the other day, I got it off amazon as the mrs gets vouchers. Its a small panel. Think about 120w or something.

Thanks for the tips dude

7.5lt pots keep them pretty short. I had some cheese xxl autos that were probably one 45cm tall, but stacked.
