will this work if i keep them small by only useing 12/12 and if i keep adding 16 plants every 2 weeks so the light isnt only getting absorbed by the top of the plants because of a canopy plus i want to keep the middle bucket smaller then the others so light will be even but idk if this will even work or if they will all even fit in this type of room?

You're going to flower 72 plants in a 4x4 (3x3 tray)? How are you going to keep them that small? Have you found mini-mj plants? LOL. I hope you've done extensive reasearch on the techniques of "Lolipopping". If not, you'll be in serious trouble.

Everyone has a plan ... it's not always a good plan though. My tent is 2x your size. I'm flowering 8 plants right now, and it's fuggn stuffed in there. A common misconception is that more plants equals more yield. NOT! Plants packed together will fight for space and race toward the light.

I will save you thousands of dollars and many headaches. Start reading dozens of grow journals. Pay attention to the size of the plants when they finish. Watch the successful grows and the unsuccessful ones too. The threads that abrubtly end were most likely failures. Find threads that grow plants exactly the way you want yours to come out. Rinse and repeat.

well i was hearing if u 12/12 them from clone they stay around 2 feet, now bushing is the only problem i would have but not all the plants will be the same size, because it will not be a full grow room untill im ready to harvest due to 16 plants going in every 2 weeks wich would also mean that there is room for the light to hit everything but idk its just an idea that i would like to test, how do people grow multiple plants in a hydroponics bucket i know those plants are closer together then 1sqr foot?

its feasible for clone operation/veg cab. your gonna run into lots of problems with a flower cab that size with 72 plants.....cut your idea by 4 plants per square maybe u can do it in that area. and of course trim/lolipop maybe even a screen to control canopy.

There ARE techniques to do it. But they don't grow that way naturally so you should arm yourself with as much information as possible before starting. Like I said ... find someone who's plants came out the way you want yours to come out. Find out exactly the way they did it and repeat.

Yes, 12/12 forces flowering. Their final height depends on more than just one factor though. According to your sketch, you'll have 6 plants deep and 12 wide. That means each plant must FINISH in a 6"x3" space (2ft tall). Three inches ... really? Please find pictures of plants that finish at that size.
