Hello guys, Can someone help a friend in need here?
I have 2 questions that i hope u professional guys can help me out with!

1, I want a yield on about 350-400g. And my grow room is planned to be 120*80*210cm with 1 Apollo 16 530w Led panel.
And my plans for now is to use 8 Airpots at 10L fed with blumat system in 100% Coco.
Is this a good amount of pots on this space or should i make it 10/12 pots, or maybe even lower to 6? What would make the easiest yield With this panel?
if u have the watts to do a specific amount, is it all about how long veg time that sets the amount of pots that u need to do it? because then i maybe even can achive it with 6 airpots?

2, Im allready over my wattage limit and want a veg room only to keep clones alive so i dont have to buy seeds.
Is it possible for a 50W led to root the clones, and veg for about 6weeks in 18/6 before flower room? Isent the only problem with this low wattage led that they dont grow so much?
My only reason is to keep them alive before flowerroom and veg some, so i can flower direcly after harvest, i dont care if they are 30cm or 300cm, only their health are good and ready for flower.
Is their any cons of using this low wattage exept shorter and less bushy plants? (that is only good for my small flower room), because they later going in to a hih wattage flower room anyway.


Im really thankfull for all help with this, cant figure this out, going crazy.

You won't yield that much. 50w isn't enough for the first 6 weeks. Make a low-wattage seedling & veg room, run the lights at like 20/4. When your plants are at least 6" tall throw them into your flower chamber. You should find two outlets that each have 15AMPS on them; use both of them equally. You'll find that the grow room you are planning "cuts-corners" and that will affect your yield; but you will have a nice personal stash so go ahead and cut away.

I don't know how to answer your hydro questions. Coco sounds cool tho, kinda.
