4x4 ?? or 3x3?? which is preferable?

i have a 4x4 grow room... should i put 4 plants by 4 plants (16 plants) in 1 foot diameter pots? or would it be better if i put 3 plants by 3 plants (9 plants) and have more breathing space for them? however i am aiming for 16 plants...who wouldn't...? lol. so if anyone has any suggestions it will be much appreciated....thanks

depends on lights and how long you veg for.

i see....well ill get whatever light i need, 400w, 600w, whichever.. (preferably the 600 though...) but the main thing is that i want to be able to make 16 plants... how long would u say i should veg? or does it depend on the strain im using.? i will be using train wreck, which supposedly grows med-tall...

one other detail is that i plan to grow hydroponically in one giant container that will fit 16 (or 12) plants... will that make a lot of difference in terms of my grow space?

I have seen people fill up a 3x3 with 1 plant scrogging... If plan on doing the SOG thing 16 plants would be fine.

More plants= less veg time

less plants= little more veg time to make them bigger

you decide...

Good luck

oh ok... thats a helpful tip. but i think ill still go for 16 plants considering theyre the med-tall strain and ill do my best to keep it ventilated and taken care of so i can have a lot of yields....
