Like the title says, im doing a 1000w sog grow in a 6'x6' grow tent. . . My question is, how many plants could I fit in this tent growing DWC style?

I will only be vegging each clone for around 3 weeks to keep my SOG rotation flowing smoothly.
I want to be able to fit as many plants in there as possible while at the same time giving each lady as much light as her heart desires. :blsmoke:

Here are some of the strains i have been considering for this op too. The first strain seems to fit what I wanna do the best... Any help is appreciated so lets hear it! THANKS !:peace:

Im not sure why I didnt mention this at first but the ideal amount of girls I would like to harvest every 3 weeks would be anywhere from 8-14... So in the 6x6 tent I would have anywhere from 24-42 ladies..... I'm thinking a good number is no more than 30 total.. That gives me 10 plants each harvest... Is that a plausible number for that 6'x6' tent?

No one has an opinion ? Come on guys, I'm sure someone has some input on this.... 6'x6' grow tent.. 1000 watt hps.. only vegged for 3 weeks... how many plants would you put in there at a time.?

With an 1000 you put out enough lumens for 20 plants

20 total in the tent? really? Even with the clones only being vegged for 21 days??? I mean with that the ladies aren't likely to get much over 30" tall... And there wont be much side branching seeing as ill cut those off during the first couple weeks of flowering to let the plant focus on the main cola only, which ultimately creates plenty of room.... To me I feel like this method I could have a total of 36 plants in the tent at a time, harvesting 12 every 3 weeks....

This is just a quick diagram I just drew up for a little idea... The whole box resembles the 6'x6' tent.. The smaller boxes within resemble the totes ill be using for the grow (DWC). It is drawn to scale... Anyways, the totes are 18"x24" , each hold 6 plants and there are 2 totes for each stage of flowering.... I feel if the plants are kept short and limited to a single main cola, there will be plenty of light for every plant in the room... Again, just a rough diagram, not exactly what itll be like but pretty close.... would this work?

I referred you to that link because of the constant harvest that you desire.

Also you don't vegi( or if you do its for very short time) for sog method. I do wish you the best of luck but from the sounds of it it really sounds like you know what you are talking about so I doubt you will need my best wishes.

Ok ok.. I suppose you have a point there.. Only thing is I have been doing research on growing for literally over a year now and just started an outdoor grow this year, and now I would like to start an indoor. I do feel like I could start the operation today and be pretty well set with little to no drastic issues, but I just wanted some personal opinions from people who have hands on experience.. lol. But I do appreciate your input, like i said, all opinions are welcome :)

On that last link that I posted start reading on post no. 4. and the next few post. They talk about plants and true sog and how much space you will need. Should be some good info on what you need
