15 x 13 x 27

and i got 2 of em as you can see which i could easily make into 54" tall.

question is should i try and do two scROG grows (considering likely hood of no females) or just try 1 plant?

with these dimensions could i fit 2 fully grown plants in here?

scROG the best way to go?

any info would be awesome thanks. i know to cover the walls in mylar and cover the windows etc i'll do that all soon enough.

ty for help :eyesmoke:

I'd only use them for vegging.
Too small to grow a decent sized plant
that would get any thing signicant to smoke.

I wanted add.
I'd turn one of them on it's side.
Stick a 2 ft. CFL in there.
That would be a perfect setup for cuttings starting out on a heatmat.

Then use the other one right side up and use it for vegging.

If i turn it on its side thats only like 15 inches of height. ive got a lot of small wood cabs i could make into one huge one but we'll see.

if i used 1 for veg and then make a few cuttings and grow them on a heat mat? would i wait till it shows sex to make the cuttings? i'm new to this i've got a grow bible that is very helpful but i've never heard of a heat mat. Can a plant really flower at only 1 ft tall?

Plants don't show signs of what sex they are until the first weeks of bloom.
Yes, a plant can flower at on only 1ft. tall.
In fact I start to bloom mine when they're only 10 inches tall.
Due to the fact that I only vegg for 2 weeks.
My 10 inch tall plants get to be 30 - 36 inches tall at harvest, and I yield right around an oz. per plant.
I'm not gonna get into how I grow.
But those cabinets would be perfect for cuttings, and small vegg.

Get some CFL's, an intake fan, a heatmat, and some jiffy trays.
Then you'll be good to start 2-4 plants.
After they have a good amount of ladder roots.
Re-pot and put them into the other vegg cabinet.
Then build a bloom cabinet.
For 4 plants.
It should be a minimum of 4X4X7.
Once that box is built.
Get a 600 watter, an intake and exhaust fan.
Then bloom those ladies, you should have over 1/4P at harvest.

Read your bible, you'll figure out what I mean.
I'm done....Time to smoke a philly.

Thanks for the help yeah I didn't know if i could get a good enough yield but 1/4 lb at harvest (assuming 4 females?) would be awesome..especially considering that would only take about 3 months. with a 4 x 4 x 7 wouldn't i be able to grow 6-8 plants instead of just 4?

How many plants per sq ft of length and width?

Patience young grasshopper

I'm sure you can probably fit more than 6-8 plants in a 4x4x7 area.
But plants do grow outwards rather than just upwards.
After a few harvests you might be able to grow in a sea of green type.
Where you might be able to fit 8...10...or even 16 plants in a 4x4x7 area.
But that takes research, patience, and knowledge to be able to successfully grow in a sea of green.

I think you should learn the basic fundamentals of how cannabis grows.
Grow 4 plants first.
Take notes at what changes have taken place week by week.
Then maybe the next crop you grow, you might be able to grow 6-8 plants.
Then compare your results, with your first harvest.

Indoor cannabis growing takes practice.
