What would be the ideal number of plants to put under a 600w in a 4x4 tent?
Well, that depends on how long you want to veg. I am doing 12 in that same area, and it is too much. But I also vegged for 6 weeks, and lets say Im just a bit crowded. Im no expert, but I wouldnt do more than 9. And like DST said, you could do a lot more with clones and a sog method.

You could veg out 1 plant for 8 weeks and use a screen. You could go for up to 64 stait from seed to 12/12. Or something like 6 plants for 4 weeks veg. Or something inbetween those scenarios. Like DST said, all depends on how you want to grow. (I just realized I basically repeated your answer D... haha, it's late here)

Did someone fart in this thread earlier, there's a slightly bad smell in here this morning, hahaha.
HAHAHAHA... good stuff D. I smell it too.

I just watched "Hot Tub Time Machine"... that was a funny fucking movie. Yall might want to check it out.

I would agree with Outdoor on the whole, unless you are growing vertical or doing a sog. (I recently had 20+ plants in that same size area, but some really small yins as well as bigger girls) All depends on your style of growing.

Thanks for the welcome guys, I am running some cherry kush, blackberry kush, sweet tooth, apollo 11, purple hindu, original purple, and lavendar. This closet grow was a spur of the moment thing after inhereting about 16 plants from my brother in law. Ive been wanting to do a vertical grow for awhile now and figured id give it a whirl...The space is a 4x4x8 closet with 14 medium sized plants hanging from painted plywood walls in 1.5g sqaure pots filled with coco coir. The exhaust and cool tube vent into the attic, with 4" drainage pipe coming down from the attic ran at the closet base for fresh air intake. here are a few more pics of the room......

Good sunday morning guys. I'm happy you guys enjoyed the strain site. It has so much info it's easy to get lost looking at things. I have six plants under my two six hundreds. Two lemon skunks which were vegged for four weeks and an LA Confidential x skunk, sleestack x skunk and an og18 x skunk all vegged for five weeks and one bean of my own also vegged for five weeks in two gallon smart pots. That puts six plants under my lights and I wouldn't want any more. All six receive maximum lighting. I have two each under each light and two in the middle of my lights which are separated by about a foot. I have had as many as ten under the lights but it was too much in my opinion. My next grow, the dog and casey jones are going to become mother plants, from them I plan on sticking nine to twelve clones under each light in one gallon grow bags and try to get a perpetual going for the next five months of winter, florida winter that is. For the cloning guys, is it better to let clones root for a couple of weeks before flowering or right into 12/12 from the cloner? I'm basically looking to grow one big bud on a stick in each gallon grow bag. Any suggestions are welcome.


Edit. Welcome back jigfresh, good to see ya' again.

Morning 600's

My Purple Urkle Popped a Tail but my Dog and Lifesafer havent yet. I planted the Urkle and Dog in Rockwool we will see how it turns out. They are under my T5 under a humidity dome next to my Dying Green Crack and my Lovely Querkle. I never thought Germing was this easy lol i guess the hardest part is waiting for them to become seedlings so they can really thrive

I would suggest rooting them first in the veg cycle...or at least something longer than 12 hours. Then in 12/12 as soon as the new growth starts.

DST, I'm not sure if that smell is a fart or just bad breath from one of those better than thou types?
There is always someone better...so what.lol

Whats the point of a screen? I've seen them used with a SOG style but never understood why its there.

And what would produce more do you guys think? 1 big ass plant or 9 medium sized plants or 30+ SOG lollipopped style plants?

the screen is used as a support. If you let the buds grow up and through the screen you wont have to try and climb in there to stake fat colas that want to fall over in the final 2 weeks. as far as what would produce more, they all have the ability to produce the same results, the key factor now would be time. It would take you 4-6 months to produce with 1 big plant that can be produced in 2-3 months with 30+ smaller plants....

Well the screen is used to grow the plant and train the bud sites through the screen holes. Effectively evening out the canopy spread, distributing equal light, and also tricking the plant into thinking all the sites are colas. eh voila.

You question is not specific enough to provide an accurate answer because you would need to involve time as a factor. But I think that the SOG is the quickest and most efficient way to do it from scratch, if you can get the clones or reliable seed stock.

Time, like I said key factor in the question.....great minds think alike, hahaha

Vertical does seem to be the buis if you got a tall enough space. Gained myself 3 ft in the new spizzot and its ready for action. I got a dog cracked already going in soil. Plumb tuckered out peace bros. 1bmm

I got a question, I was wondering if anyone has ever cut a bud off a plant and just put it right in a jar to try to slow dry/cure that way the whole time instead of hanging it to dry, prly a dumb question oh well.
