Hello guys. Today I come at you with a question. Im looking for a auto strain and I have been searching the internet alot these past hours but I though I would ask you. Im going to do a SOG with autos so im Looking for something small and fast. Preferably I want a strain that would be top 50cm high and would yeld in 60days not more. Im going to grow alot of them probably about 20 or so in quite a small space. Can I fit 10plants in a 0,6 m2 space? I think its possible. Help me out here guys I would appreciate it ;)

What kind of lights are you going to run? Soil no soil? Most of what i read you are looking at 10 weeks from seed the 60 days looks good on paper or the comp. But the fact of the matter is that the breeders have 99.99% the best growing equipment and working area. They can provide much more then the average joe can for the plants. If i was you i would do a hell of alot more research. Also how big is your area again i didnt understand what you meant by 0,6 m2

Ok so what is going on is there is a cabinet that is about 0.6m x0.85m x 1,9m . The plan is to split this into 2levels. Having 2seperated boxes and have 10 plants in each of them the lighting isnt really decided yet. But what I was thinking is to have some cfls for the start like 100w each box and when things start going to get a 150hps in each box and 2 or 2 cfls in each of the levels so im going for about 200w per level. I suppose that making it in 60days would be hard but I think it is possible with some of the autos out there since Im looking for a strain that would grow small and have a large top cola wich alot of autoflowers do. But Im still deciding on the strain since Im looking for the optimal smoke and a higher yeld since Ill only be doing this once : /

Not to be in your business but why spend all the money to do one grow? Also i am not sure about you having enough light for 10 plants or the room. You are talking about a 2'x3'x6' space from what i understand every plant needs 1 square foot or .3058 m2 of space and at least 100 watts per plant im just trying to help you out. I think you should consider doing some mote research.

Also when looking at yields on strains online m2 is yield from how many plants are in that m2. Some times it will say average yield per plant. Cfls are decent as well but you have to look at the wattage the cfl is not what it is equal to. So if you have 5 -23 watt cfls then you really are only running 115 watts not its equal to incandescent which would be 500 watts.

Well I would use more then 100w+ per level. I would go for a 150w hps and + cfls. But what If I did 250w hps for each level? the space I have to work is isnt very big and I would get 10plants in there when they all start growing they will form a Sog wich is what im after. Then I would have 500w in total for the 2x 0,5 m2 wich will be 1 m2/500w wich in theory isnt that bad. Im currently looking into Big Bang from Green House Seeds and even on their page they are saying that this strain is good for Sog jus the time for the yeld is going to be 10weeks+ wich I think im Fine with

Well 2plants isnt that much Id rather spend a few euros more for more seeds to make the best use of my ,,level,, even if every single plant will produce less then it would by growing 2 of them but the overall result will still be better since I will be using all of my space that I have

your not going to be able to use 2 levels of hps lighting in that setup without major heat issues. Id recommend you look into t5 HO flurosents, you could get several of the 2' long bulbs and have them at the tops and sides of your grow chamber on each level. They don't make much heat and they have better coverage then cfls

Do some more research, your gonna need a carbon filter for the smell there is alot more to growing then just planting a seed when growing indoors.
