[sugaryDAVE]

hello every1 im dave, this is my 2nd grow my last one didint end so well but im back at it , i now have way more room, here is wat im doing , so if you have any sugestions or comments plz do so.

ok im making a 6 foot tall 2 feet wide and about 3 feet deep box in my closet . how many plants would fit in ther??

right now im using cfls.i plan on getting a few hps lights along the way, i girminated a few seeds the other day and only one has poped so that one hit the dirt already, im using shultz pluss it worked for me the last time around so im using it again.

here is a few pics of were i am at right now, tomorrow im going to finish the box, i painted everything white inside, thanks coment back ,.. dave. ps i also added 2 pictures of my last grow.

Yo dave, the number of plants will depend on the size of pot you use. Use smaller pots and you can fit more plants but you will have to water more often. If your box is 6 foot tall and you want to use HPS eventually then you will need 6-8 inches for the actual light and reflector + 8-10 inches between the light and the plants + about 8 inches of root/pot space. So really the tallest your plants can be is about 4 feet. You can grow a 4 foot tall plant in a half gallon pot. I do it all the time. Don't believe the root binding myth. I can fit 5 of these pots in a 2' x 1' propogation tray so you could do quite a few in that box.

yeah i see what your saying, but what do you think i should do , to get the most out of my space?

 

[mared juwan]

What exactly will the lighting situation be? The more light you have the more densely you can pack the plants in.

 

[sugaryDAVE]

yeah i cant tell u at this point how much light but i plan on getting a hps just depends how much money i can get for one. 250w?? maybe a 400w?

 

[mared juwan]

I mean really to be honest you can manicure the plants to fit the space. Even if you only put three plants in there you could let them get really bushy to fill the space. But to truly maximize yield you want as many plants as possible. Just manicure them so they are less bushy and mostly just one main stalk. But then if you have plants two deep in the space it makes it harder to get to the ones in the back. So it's up to you I guess. Every method has pros and cons.
