Hey everyone,
I was planning on building a 5x5x8 grow space, walls covered in mylar, and using a 1000w air cooled light. Is that to big of a space to get big dense nuggets? If so, what would you recommend? If not, how many plants could I fit in there doing the LST method? I would be pulling with a 265cfm blower and would have a filtered passive intake on the opposite side.

I use a 1000 watter. A 4x4 area is good. I lst them and before flowering i put a screen over them. 9 to 12 plants seem to be good.

Personally I would gorw 4-6 plants in there and grow them as big as I can. Topping them consistently to create a nice bush and clearing the bottom of leaves and branches creating a true canopy. I would only use LST if I was growing outdoor and didn't want some eight footers sticking over the fence.

You could use a 600w in that space, so as long as heat is controlled, you'll be set.

Sensi seeds (amongst others) recommends 600w per 2 meters squared (about 6.5' x 6.5'). I wouldn't use a 1kW for less than 6' x 6', but if you got it, use it.

I have had a few strains. White rhino,bubblious,papaya,widow, a few others. I got 26 oz with a 1000 watter and in the summer heat i got only 44 oz with 2 1000 watters going over 2 4x4 areas.
I got 2 lights (1000 wats) going now and am planning on a huge harvest! The heat messed me up last time.
I average about 3 oz per plant.

man listen, do your grow and save a couple as mothers and veg them into big bushes. Then take clones, you have a 25 sq feet of ground space so what id tell you to do is get small pots and put 4 per sq foot which would be 100 plants. If you only got 7 grams a plant you would have 700 grams which is a pound and 9 ounces. Very attainable goal and could even be more, im just using 7 as a figure to show you what the potential is.

would you recommend 9 plants in a 4x4 if they are going to yield 3oz a piece?

Lol tell me how happy im gonna be from switching from a 400 to a 1000?:shock::hump:

I'm guessing you used the Scrog method by seeing the screen in the picture? Would you advise that or lst, or lst/scrog?? I have cannabiogen sandstorm seeds on the way with the free 5 power skunk. I'm not hearing great things about the power skunk though.

if you want to grow bushes you generally veg for atleast a month, in a sea of green you generally only veg for a couple weeks till the clones get rooted.

You could choose to disbelieve or you can see for yourself from my pics in my album. Like this one

those six plant harvested over 3.5 lbs. of some of the finest Kush. That was only half my crop, under 2 out of 4 1000w lights.
