veg them until they get about 2 ft high. then switch to flower so how ever long it takes to reach 2 ft tall is how long you want to veg them. Happy growing and as always, stay smokey :leaf:

My general rule is veg until the room is a little over 1/3 full, then I flower them. Once you know your strain, it becomes easier to time it.

Three weeks tops for 5 plants in a 4x4 area with a 600.
better to have smaller more developed plants than having
larger ones with a ton of smack to make hash with.

Probably 5 gallon ones is good enough.. I use the cheap buckets from home depot 5 G.

I also used a 4x4 tent..600 W hps.. I either did buckets.. or tubs SCROG style. I DO prefer the buckets.. and i think 5 is perfect.


Hahaha.. funny thing is.. I think this is exactly what I will do next. :bigjoint:

BTW i did 24 plants SCROG style in tubs.. and when I do plants in the 5 G buckets its yield is about same if not more than each of my 6 slot rubbermaid tubs... Just sayin..

I wish i was outdoors in cali.. so i didn't have a tent ceiling where my light hangs down and I have nomore than really 6 ft of height.. no haze for me.

The problem with small tents is air circulation. If you put 5 plants in there vegged for even 4 weeks under 600hps ya gonna be rammed. With space being a premium it is very difficult to get any fans etc in there. I would go for a 3 plants SCROG this gives ya plenty of working space below the scrog after everything is lollipopped and cut back. Chuck em in 7-8 gallon buckets and get scrogging. IMHO
