Distance Between Plants

[Widow Maker]

Ok I am getting ready to start an aeroponic setup. I am working on my clone room right now. I built a table with a tilt to it. And im trying to make the transition as painless as possible. Its prolly going to take me another month but Im working on it.

Anyways back to my question. What do you guys think is better. Spacing the plants 10" apart or a couple feet like popo has his setup? Better as in bigger yeild.

Popo's

im not as experienced but id say farther apart

if you have the space i say farther apart. but that means more lights and bigger area to ventilate, clean, etc.

YUMMY.. looks great.
If you are getting adequate penetration then the distance is FINE. But if you are not gettng GREAT light penetration, you can either flower the plants when they are shorter or space them out a bit more..

the system looks GREAT..

I am ready for a road trip!!

I would rather do the shorter and a lot more. My room is about the same size as popo's. I wonder who will get the better yeild? If his yeild was close then it would be better to do less plants, in the eyes of the law. I am a little worried that the aeroponics will get to big and not have enough space. I guess I am going to try it out and see. I pretty sure I will have to change the light cycle sooner. The last aero shot up like a rocket.

you would probably get a bigger yield with more small plants. and you dont have to veg as long

Thats what I was thinking. Any more input?

 

[Sublime757]

i say go ahead with the sea of green my friend

 

[AssGasOrGrass]

Hell yeah I second the motion, sea of green if you want more yield

hi just to get it straight am a her not a he lol. it would be nice to see the yield from your system and mine I will let you know in a few weeks, this is my first grow I know that mine are way to big and next time I will keep them short, please keep me posted on your grow room here are some new pic.... sorry I still don't know how to upload them here. I did upload some they are in the gallery

 

[Widow Maker]

Im sorry. I wont do it again.

yes, I would really like to hear how it turns out. I will be sure to let you know also. Thank you.

I have grown many spacings of plants, and decided that the best yield of most-good-quality bud is 2 plants per square foot. More plants than that is good for smaller plants, but the bud is smaller too. Fewer plants (1 or fewer per sqft) and you must bush them out some, which makes for longer veg time, etc. It's all a matter of what you want to grow, and then you have to time it out right.

If you really want to study some grow results, and compare what people have done, it's been compiled by our friend pH. Folks like me who posted at adpc have reported the results of our grows for comparison and future growers to learn from. You can find it here:
