autos are fairly short plants. keep the nodes tight with light and it'll be fine.

When it comes to tent/plant height it's important to keep your light strength in mind. Tall plants under a weak light are just stretchy and larfy, not better producing. Many people think of light strength in 2D PPFD maps when the space is really a 3D cube with diminished returns the further away from the source that you are. So if you're growing with a 100w lamp a 2m tall tent is wasted space mostly because once you get beyond 2 feet the light becomes mostly useless.

Hidden grows that require maximum utilization of space and require training techniques to make efficent use of the space. Luckily it's legal now, space is king, growth is king. Make life easier grab a 2m, 160cm would be ok but will need to bend n break her for a bit first. There is no good or bad, choice is yours.

Idk. You could easily touch the tent ceiling in a 10 foot high tent, if you wanted. That size tent would probably best be used with some shorter hydro setup but if you can squeeze the extra tent room in, you're not going to regret getting extra room. Between dosing stress out and changing light distance WITH INTENT, you should be fine.

You'd be much better off with a 2mtr tent.Most autos will need more than 160.It also depends on the light but I'd go with a 2mtr if youy've got the room.
