Recommended Grow Strategy?

Just like anyone, I'm hoping to maximize potential yields while dealing with limited grow space in an apartment. The voice of reason, my wife, wants us to keep it legal so at most we can grow is 12 adult plants at a time. Below are the main specs of what I have purchased . Any opinion on what grow method I should go with (ex. SOG, SCROG, or just grow'em as big as I can, etc.) would be much appreciated.

Specs (Just listing items most pertinent to the grow):
Gorilla Tent 2' x 4' x 6'7" (expandable to 7'7")
2 x 300 W Full Spectrum LED by MarsHydro
OG Kush Clones (number of plants TBD)

I understand that yields vary greatly depending on multiple factors, one of which being whether or not I know what I'm doing. I'm just looking for some guidance and suggestions to point me in the best direction of what I should be learning how to do correctly. Even if it's something more advanced, that's fine. I figure I'll make mistakes and learn as I go. Thankfully I work from home so I'll be able to tend to my plants more often.

Thanks again to everyone!

Best case scenario, what kind of yield do you think a 2 plant SCROG would yield? I'm assuming I would veg however long it takes to get the plants to fill the screen, right?

There are so many factors that go into yield.... genetics, environmental factors, grower skill etc. I couldn't even guess.

and I never did a scrog before but when I'm looking at my canopy I always think to myself "those lower buds down there would be so much bigger if this were a nice even canopy, scrogged :)

If I go with a SCROG, should I get a tent that is wider as opposed to taller? Right now this tent is only 2 feet wide and over 6 feet tall. In the same space I could squeeze in a tent I found on Amazon that is 2' 8" wide, but only 5 feet tall.

The equipment you have chosen seems like it would work perfectly together. :)


obviously in a scrog or in general a larger surface area should yield more but then you may have to reconsider your lighting, idk

Awesome! I never get tired of seeing pictures of other people's grows. Can't wait to get one of my own to share!

I don't think you can do true vertical because LEDs are directional. I would lay that tent on its side. Put the lights as high as they go and scrog to keep it low. Now you have 4' high to work with and 2by 6 or so footprint. Going to need fans and and such. Possible yield first grow 100g. Double that at least once you figure it out
