Hi people! new to the forum starting a new grow real soon need some help on my setup and the best way to get the best yields off my space, still fairly new to growing got a fair few grows under my belt so my space is a 1.0mx1.0m 1.8m tent so im thinking 5 plants in 3gallon smart pots under a 6inch air cooled hood with a 600mh for veg then a 600w hps for flower and a scrog them and train so they get even light coverage im going with a 5ich prima kilma extractor with a reducer for the 6inch hood with osculating fans for extra airflow going with bio bizz light mix and going with the PM organic grow and bloom along side some root sim some cal mag and some plant magic pk booster, so my question is do you think I could pull a nice yield off this space or is that to many plants what do you guys think im grateful for any info before I go rushing in all guns blazeing we have all done that!! smoke on guys peace
y yes sorry I wasn't that clear on my space its a 1,0mx1.0 wide and 1.8m heigh tent, yes I know I am planning on training ect to get nice light coverage, and what solo cup straight to 12/12 that sounds interesting that would be exciting to try
3 plants per 4x8 grow tent …………. Each plant grow 3 ft diameter . You will get more yield from one large plant instead of 5 small plants .
If you're growing in a tent, give serious consideration to access to the rear of your grow area. reaching over a 1m scrog to try and train the branches at the back, tough if you're only going in the front of the tent. i'm in about the same size tent and would have rather done 2 plants than the 4 i did, just because of the space/access restrictions. you're gonna need to be able to pull them in and out to trim, train (lst) and then to lollypop.... or, have enough room inside to get in and work inside the tent. don't go too far down the rabbit hole to only find out you went too far!
yeah for real I can imagine the struggle to get to the back of the tent to tend to the girls I just want the best possible yield I can get man, have you finished your 4 yet what was the yield lights ect?
I'm about halfway thru flowering on my first grow so I have no idea what to expect. I have been told it looks nice and should produce a good amount. I'd like to see at least a pound but I'd be happy with a half! Here's how it looked on Monday.
Brother everyone has their own ideas , I am growing in aeroponic systems , ( three Systems ) The bigger the plant the more yield … I am even considering down sizing to 2 plants per 4x8 tent . Plants need allot ventilation , I add 3 to 4 gallons of water everyday per tent .. Humidity is always 50 to 60 percent , plants need growing room , and normally are easy 3 foot diameter . I have 3 plants in a row in the center of the 4x8 tent and the leaf's touch all 4 sides .. One month cloning ,veg to flowering normally 6 weeks and flowering for 10 weeks . Some strains flowering is 8 weeks , If you are growing auto flower strains I cant advise you ,,, never screwed with them ,,,, Don't do feminized seeds either … Just strains like White widow , amnesia haze , AK 47 ,Barry White Law says x many plants per household ,,, fewer plants and bigger plants makes up for what we are not allowed to grow in mass numbers . You can grow as many plants as you wish in your tent , but I like big ass sticky buds , I prefer to grow bigger plants instead a bunch of little ones , My weed is as good anything you normally can buy in a store .
Getting a harvest is great... you should get better every grow …. Putting one tent into flowering tomorrow …. my plants are about 3 foot tall look like a hedge row . Nice looking plants ,,,, knuckles bro .
Sorry man, you asked about my lights too. I'm running a 325 COB LED grow light. Guy at hydro store hooked me up with it. http://ledcanada.com/product/growthstar-scorpion-5x-325w-cob-led-grow-light/ I'm interested to see if its really going to produce nice buds on the outer edges of the grow area before i decide if im going to upgrade. I understand its suppsed to be able to replace the 600w but who knows really right. I remain skeptical as always! I
Fuak ya buddy! Thanks. I'm nervous though coming down the home stretch. Prob 5 more weeks till they come down so anything can happen! Plus tdrying and curing. Yikes. Lol On the upside i've got 10, 1 month old clones/ plants sitting in a slow veg, ready to go if anything goes wrong!
Slow veg ,,, haven't tried that yet ,, had my issues with Powdery mildew .lost 2 harvests , switch to a aeroponic systems < I still have to spray to prevent PM but I have it controllable . Its pretty tough to have to much ventilation, good luck If you ever cross northern Nevada pm me ..
You may get a bigger harvest with fewer plants, but it takes a lot longer to get that harvest. If you run sog, you may get a smaller yield but you get more frequent yields. Plus, about the big buds, with SOG all you get are colas. I think overall you get more with more smaller plants.
Hi I have no idea what SOG means . I am in vegetation for 6 weeks then in budding for 10 weeks . Is my growing cycles longer then yours ?
Sea Of Green mate. Basically you plant like 30 plants per square metre, veg for 2 weeks then flip em to bloom and get a half oz per plant or so. Probably is the best way to maximise yield per space but in most places you get caught with it and your fucked. Basically allowed to grow 1 plant round my way. (scotland) doesnt matter how big it gets as long as theres no evidence of dealing etc its a £300 fine but get caught with a sog and your potentially fucked cos you get done for having 30 plants that they generally estimate at 5oz per plant if its not too close from finishing. The bastards done my mate for about 20k worth cos he got caught with 20 plants in a 2m x 1m space a couple weeks into bloom. Mustve been some fuckin crackin blurples he was using Sent from my SM-J330FN using Grasscity Forum mobile app
SOG, Sea Of Green. lots of plants, all at once, no training, just a race to the finish. quick veg 3-4 week or even 12/12 right from seed to fill the space
I have that , you cant see the main stem or any of the stems , its looks like a hedge row until I go into flowering , then the whole tent is filled with what looks like a sea of green . My plants are full , not tall and with a few branches and leaf's like a out door plant or a plant without enough light or the lights are to far away .
