Hi all.... 1 square meter room hydro. how many plants would you grow to get the best out of it?? I'm undecided between 4 medium sized or go with 8 smaller? or maybe just do 1 or 2 and grow them very big?? what would you do?
but a little more info would be great, like what kind of fixture, how many watts, strain, nutes etc. a pic or 2 wouldnt harm
I think the easiest thing, effort-wise, would be to go SOG with clones if you can set up a mother plant somewhere else... Also, u meant 9 little plants right? 4 make a square, 9 make a square, 8 make a rectangle
your not going to want 9 plants in a 1m square room, thats just crazy, try four, in a sog, or scrog and you should get a decent yield. probably want to shoot for a 400w light setup. Strains and nutes are up to you, read up on the yield and growing times of various ones.
A SOG can easily comprise 4 plants per sq ft, that would be 36 in a sq meter, so 9 isn't crazy at all.
hey people... thanks to all for the input.... i have a mother room and the 1 sq meter room would be for flowering only... if you want to see my growing space check my signature, towards the end of page one there you can see the finished cubicles....I'm using 400 watts hps btw, and I said 8 plants max because I have a hydro system which is rectangular and has 2 rows hosting 4 pots each....nute line is GHE.... i managed to succesfully grow 4 plants before and the whole room became very busy because of side growth etc..... yield was satisfactory but I know I'm not even close to optimal results....will look into SOG.. thanks again and more ideas are appreciated... NNl
hey everyone... I looked into sog and scrog and I have to say the scrog method appeals to me the most for now.... I think that having a rectangular based hydro system sitting in a square room I could optimize my space in the best way using scrog.... I'll keep reading... what do you think?
you could make a screen that shapes around the lamp like a U, that way your buds will get the most light.
if i used that system, i would always worry that the plants would grow too close to the bulb, what happens if they do, just move the pot away or?
Wtf?? that looks weird... I gues I'm better off mastering an orizontal scrog before building a ganja skyscraper....
