Welcome to the community! What size is that tent? How many plants you got in there and what size pots? By the looks of it, 1 plant in a 5 gallon pot would fill that nicely but just depends on what style of growing you’re doing as well!

Welcome to the community and also curious about what mj was asking lol but a few starting off tips i can give for autos would be do a little light stress training and leaf tucking to help promote growth and yield or if you are just trying to get a feel for your first grow and limited on plants but would like a yield then you could always just let them grow on there own and still get an okay amount.
To add to mjs questions what type of soil or medium are you growing in and have you’ve given the 20 day old ones any nutrients yet? From the pic that one looks pretty healthy but if not feeding nutes yet it may be time to soon.
A few tips about autos is most will switch to flower around 4 weeks and give a small window for mishaps before effecting final outcome comapred to photos.
Most run a 18/6 or a 20/4 light schedule with others who will run light 24 hours so its your choice on that.
I use 5 gallon pots but many use sizes varying from 1g-7g pots (again your preference) and whatever that total time it says for plant to finish on seed pack dont rely on that to much as most will take anywhere from 100-120 days start to finish with some taking longer.
Hope this helps some and if ya have any questions at all dont hesitate to ask cause this community is very welcoming and helpful so definitely take advantage of all the knowledge and happy growing

Im at 15 days auto’s NL ,herijuina an sour diesel auto’s pic is of my NL at day 15 i just planted others 2 days ago. Im new to auto’s any suggestions be greatly appreciated
In general you only want to do lst on them, don’t want to transplant them, or do anything that will stress them. Most common pot size is 3 or 5 gallon, I run 5 personally. You need good soil with perlite or pumice for good drainage. I normally feed at max nutrients and back off slightly if I see nute burn, which I have yet to see with advanced nutrients. If you give us an idea of what you’re doin we can help guide you!

Hey Gunny, I was a Seabee.
What made you buy such a small tent, you need more height. I would start training early. I do not top or fim, but you may need to.
