What method would bring best yield in 2' by 2' by 4' high grow box?

Venting with a 120mm computer fan, passive intake. Wanting to use hempy buckets. Vegging with 8 100 watt equiv. brite white CFLs. Plan to flower with 12 warm light 120 watt equiv CFLs.

Working on a separate clone/seedling box but not done yet. Have to work with stealth even building stuff.

Will be growing a hybrid shiskaberry/northern lights. Should I do SOG, SCROG, or what? Fewer plants with LST training?

I would appreciate the input. Want to be able to pull as much as possible.

In that space with that light I would say with that strain actually MORE plants in a smaller containers...shiskaberry is a great SOG strain, it grows a chunky main cola making it great for a SOG/SCROG...I just wouldnt LST it... it seems like it defeats the purpose of the genetics...

How small do you think I should go? one gallon? I could fit a good number of those in there.

well...that's a personal preference...you have a lot of lights so I would think that you could fill it to your hearts content if you have the clones/beans to do it. Just expect your plant to fill whatever space you give it, and remember in a SOG system you are more concerned with vertical top colas than lateral branching so your pots dont have to be that big...But remember, running a system like this requires a lot of time if you are watering by hand...

I figure I can run 6 gallon sized hempys. Shouldn't take too much time to keep it going. I'm only working with 4 square feet. Thanks for the advice!

6 gallons can fit in there?

Yeah, it would fit, probably be easier to do 5, one in each corner and one in the center. Got PLENTY of light.

Hmmm...or go 3by3 and get 9 going, but I'm afraid it would be such a jungle...be like my first girlfriend in there...

get a 250w hps its gonna do wonders for ya and keeps temps down a lot better than that many cfls. check out my box in the SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT LST thread.

OK. I will check it out. Will a 250w hps give more lumens than 12 120wt CFLs though?

U sound like your in my shoes kinda. I'm building piece by piece around a few practice plants from bagseed which germated weeks apart. I'm making it more and more stealth with DIY materials so everything is low cost and can be replaced easily. The plants have different variables in their genetics already so I figured I would implement different variables as well to get more hands-on experience faster...its a theory.

I plan(hope) to get one female that has a great response in LST and flower her in a short/wide box that hopefully doesn't need be taller than 4 foot.


heres a link to the thread i started for them. shows the stealth styles im working with. upgrading tubs soon

Muchie, your set up rocks man! Nicely done!
