Space and Size?!

[RoadhouseToker]

i am thinking about starting a grow and it will be for the first time. i have put a lot of research and planning into the grow
process and i have one main question about the size of a plant ready for harvest. i have never actually seen an adult female
that was grown indoors with my own eyes, and was wandering how wide a plant would be if it grew to a height of 4 ft. i know
there are many ways of controlling height and width, but i just want to know the general width of the plant. i am planning on
getting an 8' x 4' x 6.5' grow tent. if you cant tell me an average width, could you tell me how many plants around 4 ft i could
fit in there? and if growing more smaller plants is better please let me know and give some info. my goal at first is just to
grow the plant successfully and then my goal will be a great yield.

pretty damn excited about starting my first grow.

I have a almost ready plant that's about 31/2ft tall, I never topped it or nothing, it's little bigger than a 5gal bucket. If you top or anything else it will be bigger around...rw

so you are saying it is only around a foot wide? how good of a yield do you imagine getting from that one plant?

i had to read that like three times cause i was so confused. all i could picture was a 31 foot plant. haha

i dream about the 31 foot plant. haha. Like wayne said though. A topped or trained plant will get wider. The reason you train the plants is to keep buds at about the same level so they all get equal light.

As far as the 4 foot height mark your aiming for it is obtainable but you need to have good lighting to support that height. Light looses intensity expontentially as you go away from the source though. A taller plant needs a stronger light to adequately illuminate the middle and lower two thirds of the plant. Unless you are running a 1000watter, I would probably aim for a shorter plant (around 3 foot). not including the pot. You will end up with higher quality buds.
