400w LST

How many plants can i grow under 1 400w hps, LST style?

You have to give more info size of room hydro/soil plant type ne co2 ventaltion plans a basic answer can be from 1 - 20+ depending on all the variabls

I am gonna be using:

NIRVANA's haze19 X Skunk #1

1 400w hps/ 6" inline air coolable

6" inline duct fan-exhaust blower, connected up
to some aluminum "dryer" ducts

fishing line and a bunch of small hooks I'm makin' out of
wire coat hangers

fox farms grow big in the beginning and then tiger bloom for
flower.
this is what my room looks like, this was my last grow(Big Bud)but o get the idea



with the whole thing LST and with a tomato net over the coals I think I Could do 6 nice plants.

P.S.- what do all of you prefer, Mylar or Poly? I have been using boat shrink wrap

Heres a pic so you can get an idea on space. 5 plants in 11L square pots 3 days into flowering. These are currently in a 1.2 x 1.2m tent and will have to be moved very soon. Your space will be too small for 6 plants but under a 400w HPS i can squeeze 8 plants in

Probably 6-9 of your plants will nicely grow under your lighting and those 5 gallon buckets. you can place as many plants as you can fit in a 4x4 area. Gl on your grow and congrates on leaving the CFL and going to the HID grow your love the improvement. Good Luck

well the space could be much bigger then shown in the pic, that was just a general idea, the room is actually a decent size, you can see that on the right, the only "wall" are rubbermaid bins which can be easily moved, so the space is very changeable, but at the same time i can't spread my grow out to much, I heard a 16sq ft(4X4) area would be best for a 1000w,no?

Thnx guys,

no 4x4 is the max you would go for a 400 and plus you can also use the cfl's as well

well i have a 3x2 1/2 and i was able to fit 9 pots in there all lst
