how much space would i need for 40 full plants? i wanna yeild 3 oz off of each plant. how many lights would i need and how much space pls someone help
4x4 space 1-2 (1000) A strain that can grow straight up with minimal side branching something like WR. If you veg till 3' you could easily get 3o of a plant. ~In1
its kinda like a charter jet. if your expecting 3oz per plant and dont even know about electricity yet, its too much for you. start with a few, maybe 2 or 3, and learn it first. otherwise, youll waste your money and time.
thats going to be noticeable with the watts growing 40 plants, and i take it, its not for personal use...
3oz a plant is doable, but they will have to be well veged large plants (this means a couple of months or more of vege time). 40 plants of this size would take up 10'x10' at least, and use 5 or more 1000w lights. If your goal is the weight (3 oz per plant x 40 = 7.5 lbs) there may be other options. My most efficient set up is my homebuilt, 79 plant, soil Vertical Octogon (basically an 8 sided, 5 tier shelf system surrounding a vertical light tube). It only takes up a 6' x 6' space but has consistently yielded 6+ lbs off of 3000w. I have twice achieved the lofty goal of getting 1 gram of bud for each Watt of light I burn. With a mom and vege room feeding the Octo semi mature plants I'm able to reliably harvest 6 lbs every 80 days. Your goals are achievable, but it will take a lot of; space, electricity, know how, time, and practice to achieve ..... Good Luck !
