So my grow room is 36 inches long and 22.5 inches wide. about 6 foot tall.
have a euro reflector 400w hps connected to a 6 inch cheapo inline fan (40$?)
my light is a 2 foot 4 lamp high output t5
so far i'm doing 3 plants in 3 gallon containers, these are circular containers and fit perfectly under my t5. if I had any bigger in diameter containers they wouldn't be able to fit more under the light, because the lights only 2 foot long. The containers are about 10.5 inches in diameter.
The question I'm trying to ask is: Would I be better going of with few plants in square containers to get better use out of my space? How big should these get / be vegged? Can anyone provide a link to a large amount of plants growing in small containers under a 400w hps?
Or a link to 3, 3 gallon containers growing under the hps. What is the best amount of plants for this space? Would it be better to use like a single rubber made as a pot? This would allow more roots, but I'm not sure if it'd translate to more buds in this scenario.
I'm worried that a plant from a 3 gallon container might yeild significantly less than a container (marginally?) larger![20130506_204701.jpg](/data/attachments/1865/1865899-6b400fe145e1317fa484f447fa97ac68.jpg)
