so the question is in the title
im about to recieve some seeds soon and my growroom is very small

so do you think i can grow 3 plants under a 125 CFL in 0,8 gallon pots?
i usually just grow one plant at a time in an 1,6 gallon pot and that works like a charm
so what do you think?
 
String a bunch of the cfl bulbs together, get crazy hang them from the walls and ceilings!@# I had a cabinet with 8k lumens in it before, was very small but man, did it veg a plant.
 
As for pot size, potentially make a bed? 2 rectangles filled with soil, like a flower bed outside. Ive know people to make wooden beds in their basement and fill them with a few hundred gallons of soil. Instead of vertical for roots, think horizontal potentially?
 
wait what? you mean let the plants share a homebuilt pot? that cant be good since its different strains right?
a was thinking air pots myself

Good idea, especially when you are vertically challenged in your growspace.
 
No make 3 or 2 depending on how many plants you use. Just saying if space is an issue, you can do a DIY and probably work around it. Think flower beds.
 
Hmmm...I can't keep a plant in a pot that size...I just had to move all mine up to 5 gallon pots and 2 are in 7 gallons...their roots outgrow the pot and the plants start to look sad so I have to replant them.... So from my experience I would have to say no...? but as I said I end up with more roots than plant...so... it sounds kinda small to me...
 
yeah it sounds too small for me too...damn. im sick of growing just ONE plant at a time...seems lika a waste to me. oh well
 
You could try hydro...then you can have more than one, but here is my tip...if you have caused nute burn recently to a plant in soil then don't do it...but if you are easy with the nutesw and are willing to get a Reverse Ormosis Filter, or buy distilled water every week, then go buy some rubbermaid totes and watch some DIY videos and set it up...you could grow more than 2 if you wanted, but with soil there are constraints unless you can find really tall skinny pots...which I am going to see what weird and odd shaped pots I can find that will make my roots need to go down as opposed to out so I can have a little more room...Tall and skinny if you have a tall skinny space short and fat if you need short and fat. That is my best idea but for real I vegged all my plants for one month...1...and now 4 weeks in flowering one got rootbound in a 3 gallon and I totally thought it would finish in a 3 but it started looking pale and growing slow after growing super fast So, I checked and it was totally out of room in the 3 gallon...so I put it in a 6 and hopefully it will stay there for another month or so...You could kind of bonsai, or grow autoflowers, they are smaller I have heard. There is always some way to make things work...you just have to figure it out.
 
haha no no you gave me some good ideas for future grows fo real. but the issue was horizontal space and pot sizes. i got neeeearly 2 feet worth of space horizontalwise (yeah im making up words ^^) and i wanna grow 3 plants in that space...problem is, i cant find pots that fit . thats why i was askin if 0,8 gallon pots would work.

its a poormans grow so i only got a 125 W cfl for light. maybe if i go 12/12 ? maybe if i just grow 2? maybe i should just continue what i allways have done it?
its a lot of maybes here. thanks for you input btw
