Im planning to grow 1x red diesel fem, 1x cheese fem, 1x blue cheese fem and 1x ak-47 fem under a 400w hps in coco coir in a 1.2x1.2x2m tent. I'm gonna start 12/12 from seed as i am limited on time and im wondering whether not giving any veg will effect yield a lot. This is my first grow but i've researched a lot on my set up so i'll knwo what i'm doing. I'm hoping to yield 2oz per plant, you think thats achievable?

hello mate...yes less veg can mean less bud.........but more veg = more time spent before you get bud, and veg may = lots of leaves but that doesnt always mean more bud, apples and oranges at the end of the day........i dont see any reason why you shouldnt get 2 per plant, done it myself when i was using a 400 dual spec. what feed you going to use, what size pots? how often you going to feed?

Thanks for the reassurance man! I was planning on vegging for 4 weeks but i have limited time and so i chose 12/12 from seed. Umm i'm gonna grow in 15litre pots and i'll be feeding the plants Cannzyme, Rhizotonic, Cana A+B. I think i'll be growing with a 600w hps dual spectrum instead and add 2 more plants to the set up if i'm confident i'll be able to keep temps down in the room with the 600w, otherwise, i'll stick witht he 400w :)

Hey del, just finished reading through this whole thing. I know you said your yields went up when you switched from a 400 to a 600, but do you think this would also work using a 250 in a small space? Obviously I would be running fewer plants at a time, but with a 250 CMH do you think I'd be able to get 1-1.5 oz a plant going 12/12? Currently I have a ton of mango kush seeds from my last grow, but thinking I'll also be adding a few other strains from attitude when I get a chance. Also, about how much space does each plant end up needing using this method? Id be sticking to probably 2 gallon pots, but might do 1 or 3 if you think either would work better. Sorry for the long post and questions, thanks ahead of time.

6-10 litre pots should be fine, plants go 12 - 32 inches hi, just tie the top down if height is a real issue, yeah mate no reason it shouldnt give a reasonable result with a 250 in small space, just like you say 2-3 pants......show us when you do...........

Sounds good, I've got 48 inches of head room so should be fine on that. Think I'll go with 1/2 gallon then step it up to 2 gallon (2, 7.5 liters). Not sure how many I could fit at once, probably 4 or 6 at least, might try up to 9 though if it seems too empty. Thanks for the quick response and I'll be sure to put some pics up once I have something to show.
