24 plants 12/12 from seed SOG

My 2nd grow. 3 1k LED’s 450 watts on wattmeter. Is 24 too much? Should I do 18? Never done SOG or 12/12 from seed. Expected yield? Want to do one big cola without much training/no super cropping. Hoping to get 1 oz per plant.

when u say 12/12 from seeds u mean the minute it pops out the soil.... or u give them the 2 weeks then force flower?

I did 33 plants in a 4x4, 3 weeks from seed flower. Yielded about 14 grams a plant. Big yielders will get a little more. Now I'm back to bigger plants for a bigger yield. My 33 was crowded in a 4x4. Maybe could've gotten more without all the crowding

Unless its a really stable strain its going to be hard to achieve a sog from seed. Phenos are going to vary and you are going to have all different heights and possible plant structures.

You would get a better yield from clones that are all from the same mom.

I would try 16 first and see how you go.

What light?

640 watts HLG quantums. I prefer 1-4 plant to take over a 4x4; yield is much better for me. I clogged up my blumats halfway thru flower too, I maybe would've done better if I wasnt hand watering 33.

I think sog should be from clones. You get uniformity. I was growing indica, sativa, and everything in between. It was a pollen chuck project that I wanted to fast forward and get more done. Was a mess

im going to toss some 2 seekers into flower today... its not ideal. but the flexibility is there..

14g’s? What size pot? I’m in the process now of transplanting from solos to 2g smartpots, and will have 16-20 (maybe, they’re sexing out now). 4x4 lit by a 315cmh.
Several different strains, which probably won’t turn out to well, lol.

You have to grow the right strain to do SOG to it's maximum. You want to be growing a strain that can grow one big main cola with minimal branching. Indica dominant strains work best. Definitely don't SOG with a lanky sativa.

If you use 5.5" x 6.5" pots you can get 64 in a 4 x 4 tent. You can fit 8 to a nursery tray and 8 nursery trays to a 4 x 4 tent. That's 64 plants. Grow in coco with a drip system running Jacks or Masterblend and calcium nitrate.

The large pots 8 to a tray. They're 1.75 liters or around 60 ounces.






Here's a plant growing in that size pot. So that size pot can grow weed.






64 of these in a 4 x 4 would be a good harvest. This was 12/12 a week from sprouting in that size container. Wicked Widow. One big cola. If I wasn't limited by plant count I'd run 64 plants and see what I get.

Go with Xtsho's advice above. Coco would do a lot better. I was in 1 gallon soil. The indicas did much better in uniform. Less branching. I had to throw a screen on them to get the sativas down. I'm sure the 2 gals will be better for you either way. More soil = less watering. Or hook up an irrigation system.
