Hey everyone, I have a ntf tray 6ft long about a foot wide and was wondering how close i could put the plants in 4" cubes and how tall I let them grow before i flower them ? ive heard a lot of plants will create a canopy a lot quicker than less plants topping but will create the same yeild, is this right ?

I was also thinking of makin my own system out of guttering or pvc tubing but was wondering if I need sreader mat or if this is not enough room for the roots using the cubes or if i should use clay pebbles with net pots and sprinklers instead?

Any help is greatly apprechiated no matter how small, +rep :D happy growing :D

thanks i kinda thought that, is that so the roots dont suffercate each other ?
no roots can grow just fine pretty close this is because of top growth. plants will get big and need space between them. If your doing a perpetual type grow, make a couple trays (or pipes) with 2" holes about 2" aawy from each other these will support clone and seedling till ther about a foot and ready to be put into the larger trays for flowering. but if just a sinle grow use one big tray for large plants start to finish.
 
any 1 how long should the roots be o n my plants at 3 weeks onld in nft trays 1 plant looking drowsy will have pics latter 2 night i tried 2 sort this over nite but my computer went down
