how many plants would you reccomend for my room

[slamn1]

hi i have just started building my first grow room and the setup will be as follows

room size 3m(10ft) X 2.5m(8ft) X 2.4m(8ft)

2X 1000w ge lucagrow
1X 600w ge lucagrow

thinking of a nft system? (any advice?)

and how many plants would you reccomend in this area with this much light ect if ventilation is adequate?

thanks for taking the time to read my post

depends... do you want to go sog or not? If you go sog you can go 1 plant per square foot or maybe lil bit more... either way I'd divide it up into stations so where you have perpetual harvest whether that be every 1 or 2 weeks

as far as growing method... I'd use something like filthyfletch's aero system made from PVC fence posts.... simple to build and you'll get great results.

I though NFT was a little advanced for being a first grow? Should you maybe start out with something more along the lines of a drip hydro system or ebb and flow? not that I am any good at this stuff....

what would the advantages of going ebb vs nft be? i was just led to beleve that nft gave better results... and thanks for the input guys it's greatly appreciated

refer to this
much faster growth than NFT with better oxygen flow to roots


I would set it up with multiple stations let's say you have a 10 week flowering period break that up into 5 sections

first 2 weeks:
Flowering section one: Group A clones
Flowering section two: empty
Flowering section three: empty
Flowering section four: empty
Flowering section five: empty

Week 4:
Flowering section one: Group B clones
Flowering section two: Group A clones
Flowering section three: empty
Flowering section four: empty
Flowering section five: empty

Week 6:

Flowering section one: Group C clones
Flowering section two: Group B clones
Flowering section three: Group A clones
Flowering section four: empty
Flowering section five: empty

so on and so forth... once you get to week 10 you harvest group A
week 12 harvest group B
week 14 harvest C


now you have on going supply every couple weeks
