Thats a lot of plants for a 4'x4'. 6"sq for each plant if you do 60! They are going to fight for light. But you can always remove some.

I flood every 4hrs for 5 min when the lights are on. And once while the lights are off. Just check your cubes right before the next watering cycle begins and adjust it.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!

Nice Ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a 4x4 tray you can only put 36 6" pots in the tray, (I know this personally), feed every 6 hours for 15 minutes. You will need a shit load of CFL's to cover this area, please get at least a 400w hps, or if you want to pull some real weight off of your grow then get a 1000w hps. You will be investing alot of time and energy into your grow, why not spend the extra money for a good light. You will thank yourself at harvest.

Yeah thats way to many plants.Im running one of my 3x3 tables now and max is 12 plants in 6 inch square pots and its crowded as fuck and just in week 1 of flower.Figure in a 4x8 table you do maybe 40 plants.Also with cfls your gonna need a ton of them at least 30 and thats a hell of a fire hazard.Do some rethinking on this one as seems like your way over the limits on this whole setup.I flood 4 times a days for about 10-15 minutes using a 150gph pump

it is impossible to even pull a couple OZ's a week let alone pounds with that system.you will need multiple chambers for a successfull grow to have a continual harvest every couple weeks. the best method is to start a mother plant and keep it in constant vegetative grow, when she is old enough, you can take 2-4 cuttings each week and clone them. Let the clones root nicely and put directly into your flowering chamber under a nice 400w-1000w light. if you are trying pull alot of weight then buck up and get a 1000w. flower for 8-10 weeks, this method will keep the plants short and you can put a large amount in the same tray. even still you will not harvest pounds.

Look at the Get a Harvest Every Two Weeks link that sticky posted. Basically you have to have several batches of plants all in a different phase of growth.

Yup you will need a like 4 tables to do this.Id go with 4x6 tables.You will be running a few lights about 2 400 watt lights per flowering table or some 600 watt lights on light movers.CFLS will be irrelavent to you if the state amounts are your goals.
