You have room for three moms!!?? I be jealous...

I want to do a run this way. How many would you reccomend for 2x1000 in a 5x9 space?

And why not do an abb and flow hydo table? Is there something you like about the soil?

Id say 60 to 70 would fit. I run 90 and they fit with a little room i could add a extra plant to each row and run at least 105 but im giving them a little room and thats on a 5 by 12 table

I prefer 4'x4' tables simply because it's easier to work around them. I have always filled the table with rock since the beginning and treated the table as a single plantpot and have never used plantpots in the tables. The plants roots have more room for expansion this way instead of being coiled up in a small plantpot.

,I prefer 25 freshly rooted clones per 1kw hps, one hps per table allowing each table 6'x6' for LST purposes.

I have found that when using multiple 1kw hps it is best to hang the bulbs vertically without bonnets and put the reflective screening, or flat white paint on the ceilings, presuming a standard eight foot ceiling. If you do use bonnets get bonnets with wings that allow all the tables/grow area to recieve light from every hps being used.

One other question.... thise clones are going straight into 2 gal pots... how much water do you give em at a time during those 10 veg days and how much water by the last couple weeks?

no root bound. I veg for 10 days in 2 gallon pots its plenty. And i just like running soil less work in my opinion. Less stuff to monitor and i get really nice yields. I woukd run like 70 plants on a 5 by 9
You've done the 10 day veg then flower before? I just did that with beans but 20 days from sprout and they all got root bound at week 5 of flower in ROLS, they started in 2 gals and never left, The clones at 10 days will probably be fine or near at the end of flower. If this works for you, im gonna give it a go also. Is this for personal stash?

*when i said good year, i was sarcastically referring to all the trimming and care you gotta do lol. Shit should be gold by the end of jan.

yep end of january is what im aiming for. Iv never done tgis before i have allways grown out 9 plants in 5 to 7 gallon pots per 1k. But this way makes more sense to me. In the past i have grown bigger plants in 3 gallons im pretty sure 2 gallons should be more than enough. They will only grow tell week 3 in flower so after that its just about keeping the root mass healthy. I hit thwm with hygrozym to keep the roots clean later in flower works good
