ok I'm gonna start my first big grow and I would like y'all input on the system I'm using
It's going to be a Sog grow 50 plants from fem seeds in 50 1 gallon grow bags 5x5x7 grow tent
600watt hps 2 800watt led lights happy frog soil and fox farm trio nutrients plan on vegging for 24/0 until plants are between 8 and 12 inches then put into flowering 12/12 all input welcome let me know if something doesn't sound right Thanks
yah that u think 50 plants in 1 gallon planters is a good thing
sorry do not to be a ass but u are really new if u think that is going to be worth it
ok crash course in Yield management
1 the size of the roots is directly linked to amount and size of the plant
2 the size of the planter dictates how much water retention u have (1 gallon of soil u are looking at less them a 1000 mls of water ....less then a quart of water )
3 the amount of water the plant has access increase the thickness there for the weight of what u are going to make (why hydro makes more then soil )
1 gallon bags really are not worth growing as they are only going to get u 1/2 oz at best 14 grams dried more like 10 grams realistically.
the size of your area is bad for the amount of plants u want to run .......really 50 plant scrog done right would be huge .......honestly if u want u could make 1 plant fit your whole 5x5x7 tent (if u are running photo plants ) your looking at 10/16 weeks of veggie to train and fill in the screen and 10/12 weeks of flowering in a 15 gallon planter using a organic feed ........would be between 1 and half 2 lbs for u ......give yourself a few grows and can be much higher 6 10 lbs once u figure out to feed and water in soil
as u are new i would not start on hydro .......it requires more gear more technical work and less forgiving (u make a mistake to long wreck the whole harvest)
ask your ?s man
