ok i was thinking of useing a 4x4 grow tent to grow 16 plant sog style ( 2 aeroponic system 8 plants each with 20 gal res's that will take up a 3x4 space side by side) with 1000 or (2) 6000watt hsp lights. witch lights would be better for this size room and set up? i will be using m-39( i heard it flower's in 39 days) clones( after i get my self a mother plant started from seeds) im hoping to get 1-2 oz's per plant. is that a good round about figuer on the dryed product? im not sure what nut's i'll be useing. any good advice on that?

16 plants in a 4x4 area is too many. It will work. You will get more weed with less plants. 1 to 4 ounces per plant is a good guide. 16 in a 4x4 area ya will get little buds 1/2 oz per plant. 8 plants ya can get 2to 3 ounces per plant.

what about 12 plants? how do u think that'll do? and should i go with the 1000 watt hps or the (2) 600 watt hps to get the max out of the plants?

thanks i guess i'll go with the 1000 watt hps and cute down to 8 plants per 4x4 space and see how that goes. how much dryed product per plant do you get with your 11 plants? and why do you say that i'd only get 1/2 oz per with 16 plants and 2-3 oz's per with only 8 plants? what does the amount of space have somthing to do with it or is it the light?

If your doing SOG then you an fit way more plants under the 1000 watt light. If you have ever seen the aeroflo 2 36 site from GH I have seen grows under this system with 1000-1200 watts with excellent yields doing SOG. 3lbs dry. :peace:

sog sog sog. When you cut the 50-70% lower part/branches of the plant you should be able to put 4 plants per sq foot. But this will change with the grow method. If it was my set up I would go with two 600w dig systems over one 1000w system jmo. Growing this way you should see .75 to 1.5 +- for each plant. This works very well because you don't have to worry about all of the lower branches that will be underdeveloped due to lack of light pen.
Good luck
