The plants take up about an 6.5 X 8 area....... the room is a bit larger than that probably around 10 X 12. Yes, I like this approach for this strain. It generally yields quite well grown like this. I've gotten about 4 lbs. out of the room but normally get around 3.5+ which isn't bad for only a 28 day veg, 9 week (well finished) grow with 2200 watts. Give it a few weeks and you won't believe your eyes- it will be a "sea of bud". This room does soooooo much better in the winter than it does in the summer too.......... and will run at about 5 degrees cooler which makes a big difference.
