Ok so im growing in a closet under a 400w hps. The closet is roughly 2' deep and 4-5' wide. 8-10 sq.ft. I will be flowering in 3.9 gallon pots, using ffof soil. I can fit a 2 pots deep and 5 pots wide. So I can fit 10 pots in there. I have 7 plants about 8" - 1' tall. They have been fimmed and each have between 2-6 tops. I will also be flowering what was previously my mother plants, and a supercropping experiment. Now this one is huge compared to my others. So it will take up about the space of 4 pots after the stretch. Leaving me with room for 6. Which works out as i have 7 and can use the left over one as a mother plant. I have no question about how to arrange them in the closet or how many can fit, im just wondering if a 400 in the middle of a 2x5 closet is enough light for this space. Heres some pics of the closet (already flowering in it), and the next batch of plants.

This is the closet, those plants are in the same sized pots i will be using.


This is one of the topped plants from the next crop. 1 of 7 similar looking ones.




Now here is the one that will take up the most space. My old mother.


Thanks RIU,

give the other ones about another week
So you think i can make it work just veg the others for a week before i flower them. Cuz i was gonna let them veg under the hps for a week or so while leaving the biig one under floros. Is that what you mean?

looks like you need to trim quite alotfrom the botom of your mum,I would lst it to. and take those bottom branches of the others so that the plant can direct its energy to the main colas that get the most light. I would also raise up the smaller plants so that all your plants are at the same height as your mum remember your light will only effectively penertrate 12 inches of your canopy over all tho they are looking like great plants well done!

I havent been maintaining my mom very well but i was already planning on clearing away alot from the bottom as Im gonna take another batch of clones before i flower. If you look at the mom from other angles it doesnt really need lst as it was super cropped and has good light penetration. Last time i counted i had 36 tops on it but that was like a month ago, so im not to sure that i wanna alter it any more. Thanks for all the advice though.

thanks. im gonna be taking clones here soon before i throw those into flower. Should i remove everything below the point of where i topped, so its just stalk until it splits?
