just wondering how many plant i should have under a 400w hps with a 600 x 600 shade at the moment i have 8 is this to many
im watching a guy thats going to try 8 plants per sqft(no typo)... yea, crazy!! talking about SOG. so you could potentially grow 80 plants under that thing!!!!! so between 1-80, take your pick!![]()
umm, only 1 problem with that. a 400watt hps only covers about 6x6 feet. and thats with natural light.. i could maybe see it if you did it in a 2 liter bottle or somthing. but kinda pointless.
i would grow 6 plants without SOG. and 8 or so with, depending on your strain.
ya this kid thats proposing the 8 plants/sqft is going to do it in an aero or DWC hydro system. ill post the link to it if you guys are interested.
im interested, id like to see how he's fitting that many plants in such a small area
hey bro![]()
do the math, 8 plants/ft^2 adds up pretty quick. so say if your space is a 3x3 area.3'x3'=9sqft. your total sqft is 9. 9sqft times 8plants/sqft = 72 plants. so you can see if you added more sqft you could have over 80 plants. a 400W will effectively light a 3x3 area. peace
watch the movies in my signature. there are lots of facts that will enlighten you
edit- aslo i dont recommend 8plants per sqft, im just saying that im watching a grow journal with someone who is going to attempt to do this. 1plant per sqft is pretty good for a SOG and not too crowded.
enlighten me? lol.
have fun checking those bitches for hermies and other shit though.
i take pride in my grow. each plant is grown with care... so your really not like some super genius.. in fact, it should be pretty well known that putting so many dank plants together is just a waste of time..
