Need help on the first grow

Hello, I'm in quite a dilemma here.

This is my first grow and i dont know what technique to grow and what im going to grow with, but i do know it will be hydroponically grown.

I'm in a 4x4 growing space, and i have a 1000 watt light, with twelve seeds.

I'm not sure if i should go with the 15 plant cloning (http://www.buyagrowbox.com/cloner.html ) or 2 large 10 gallon hydroponics system ( http://www.buyagrowbox.com/hydrobubbler.html ) , so im wondering if you guys could help me determine which would be best for my yield and a perpetual harvest as well.


so do you think SOG with the 15 plant cloning system would be best?, and have a small veg room, Or should I scrog with 2 10 gallon, 6 site hydro systems? or maybe there are other better options...

Thanks for the help to those who help.

4 x 4 and trying to grow 20 plants ??? Seems like you might be over crowded .. How many plants will you be flowering at one time ?

4x4 tent is perfect for 4 DWC team water cooler/ jugs. You can have your veg area in a closet or smaller tent then transition a lady ready for flower every 2 weeks I would only run 8 plants max in that area very small area for the number of seeds / plants your talking. 4 ladies SCROG would be killer!

True that my converted small walk in closet is 5'x 6' x 8' high 4 was the perfect fit and I also used a 1000W HPS.. Plan on having a strong fan to cool that beast down I had to upgrade to 675 CFM.

I got a 4x4x6.5 tent and I put 5 in there and it was overcrowded. Im going with 4 this time, and Im probably going to go SCROG. I would think for ease of use and getting around, it would be easier to run with 5 gallon water coolers, or lowes buckets etc. you can do RDWC or DWC either or.

Ive got a total of 975w in my tent, (2) 400wHPS cool tubes, and a 175MH in an open reflector runnin a 6 in 409 cfm fan on the tent, and a 4in 179cfm on the tubes. temps were getting a little warm sometimes, so im gonna upgrade and get an 8in for the tent, move the 6in to the cool tubes, and put the 4in as an active intake.

I wouldnt do more than four. I feel like if I had of only done four plants, I would have had a better harvest.

Hope all my rambling can be of some help. Good luck!
