How many plants can I fit into a square meter?

[WhiteThunderBoi]

as WE all know,growing outside isn’t a privilege everybody has for massive christmas tree yields, so forcefully we tend to grow more inside grow tents that unfortunately lower the yields of plants with pros & cons.

my aim would be to at least (next season)
harvest 35-40oz.

how could it be made possible?
(best strains by yield&potency,best grow tents,lights,nutrients,techniques & growing ways!)

Let’s figure something out!



I’d love to read/hear some insights!!

ld do no more than 9 in 7 gal round pots, l do 8 at moment, if you want lots go with square pots, more efficient then you can do 25 in a 4x4 but hand watering would be a bitch, l put 8 inch clones in and cant hardly get to back 3 plants. I staggered my grow so l could make more room as they mature. Inrepot and put in 12x12 within a few days. So roots can grow during flower, first 3 weeks still veg. They can get pretty big for small starts.

now that’s some insight sir!!
what strain would you go with & why?

how’s the electricity bill tho’?

Anything Wedding Cake or cross from reputable breeder. Love everything about it, 600w led and a fan, exhaust on for 2 hrs at half about 100 cfm 1hr b4 lights off to one after, runing homebrew co2, temp gets up to 90-93 and humidity 80%rh, why l flush for 2 hours to dry up tent and replenish o2 for sleep. Then co2 builds during dark and when lights come on they suck it up, l wait 1 hr to open tent after lights on. So co2 isnt wasted. Electric bill better since unplugging 1k hps and replacing with 150w led. And exhaust isnt running full out 24 7.

You would need to add up total watts, including fans and such, and find the utility companies rate. They charge per 1kwh. So 1000 watts running a hour for me cost $0.14. $3.36 per 24 hours for my one 1k light.

Per KWH, not per 1000KWH. 1000 watts running constantly for 1 hour is 1KWH. I think you know what I'm saying, just said it wrong. Probably a stoner, lol.

I got between 36 and 48 ounces with an indoor vertical setup with a single 600 watt bulb i call the library- four book shelves home made in a sqaure holding 36 x 9 litre rectangle plastic pots. You can buy them at those bargain hunt shops. two plants per container and use coco coir or perlite.

Three layers of shelves making sure each container is 60cm away from 600 watt hps. all containers are on a slight angle to make a 12 sided shape.
You need to support each plant with yoyos or chain or string. they will grow sideways and need supporting. 72 clones total at 5cm clone each with a decent root system to start tthem off. veg each clone for one week.
Each clone is 8 inches apart from eachother. they will get over half an ounce each dried so need support to hold them sideways toards the hpslight.

Carbon filter on top fan sucking heat out into the ceiling space. If you're renting try to find a large light where you can cut a hole 150mm or more for the exaust out the roof.
Light positioned slightly above the lower levels of the bookshelves but accross from the top levels so top level plants dont grow down.
Some plants may want to grow up but they can be held with string or yoyos to stay sideways.
You could also get more yeild with a few clones or scrog on the bottom..make sure each bookshelf is on wheels so you can move each one easily.
Use pandaflim to lightproof each bookshelf and when you join them all togethor no light will get in.

To do this you need a decent indica i used northern light blue from delicious seeds and also blue og from g13 labs. just the right amount of stretch so they wouldnt hit the bare bulb in the middle..

You have a drainage hole with tubing going down to a drain to waste bucket on the bottom level of each bookshelf.seal each hole you drilled for this with silicone or araldyte.

The clones are hard to come by so you will need to veg your mothers for a few months enough to get 80 clones or more as you choose the best clones.

Correct, will edit, definitely a stoner.

cutting the hole in the ceiling will be covered by the light shape if you do it correctly.

that sounds so complicated & not at the same time to be honest sir.. i still got a lot to learn!
next grow definitely buying a Grow Tent, but maybe for the electrical issue a gas-silent type generator would be better?

 

[Southernontariogrower]

l used a 1k hps in flower tent, was hell. Replaced with 600w commercial light. Then used 1k for grow area, replaced with 150w led, now electric bill much better, lm not adding it up, that will just depress me. A 16 inch fan running 24x7, 100cfm for 2 hours, 600w led for 12 150w on 24x7 4 bulb florescent maybe 160w on 24x7, you do math and tell me, and a heating pad and three fishtank pumps. And another fan 14 inch 24x7. Let me know the cost?

sir.. do have a youtube channel or something?
i can’t picture half the stuff to be honest

Some of us have plant counts.

how much does your lights cost??
like the LEDs and stuff?

IS FRISIAN DUCK A GOOD STRAIN?

i dont have any counts one plant is illegal here i just didnt take photos or talk about it on here while i was doing it.

IS FRISIAN DUCK A GOOD STRAIN?

I have never tried it, but it comes from a good supplier, so it should be pretty good. Having just done some investigation on it I reckon it will be going on my "to try" list.

 

[Thundercat]

I used to run 40-45 plants at a time under a single 1k hps in a 4x4 flood tray. I used clones that only got about 2 weeks of veg time so they were 6-8 inches tall going into flower. Averaged 20ish grams per plant with mixed genetic runs and 30ish g/per plant with mono crops of good strains.

So typically a full cycle turn around would be around 12-14 weeks including the veg time. And I’d yield 800-1200 premium dried grams(no popcorn buds) depending on strain.

this is what’s called the SOG method right?
6-8 inches is really short for a plant but considering they blossom 20G-ish is pretty impressive.. how many clones can you get from a Mother Plant?
I understand cutting the letting it grow again,but how does the process work in details?

Also,what medium do you use for the clones?
