Couple of quick questions about a stealth grow I am getting together

I have 4.1 square feet and its 4 feet high. I plan on doing some micro grows what I am still unsure of what strain to buy. Autoflowering strains are not out of the question. I am looking for yield as my primary factor. Decent high (not looking for top of the line) and to be honest I would like to keep the smell factor down low as possible. If you guys or girls have any insight that would be great. Alot of options in such a small space.

As you can already see in this picture I setup my trays last night which are able to hold 6 plants total but I am not saying I will have room for 6 of course.

Right now I am kicking out 8292.68 lumens per square feet and temp is under control.

I am using 2 gallon Smart Pots

I was wondering how many plants I can fit into such a space?, its 30 inches long 20 inches deep and 4 feet high.

I was thinking of doing something similar to this but SCROG and SoG are not out of the question



Thank you​

You can keep your plants small by picking an Indica and flowering early...I once grew out Master Kush and couldn't smell it while it grew.

How much space did you need to give the Kush? I hear the general rule with small plants is 1 per square foot?

Btw thx for your quick reply, This will be my first grow and I rather not piss in breeze with it :)

...I would say that would depend on what type of light your using. I typically grow 20-25 under a 600....I put them into flower straight from rooting clone, they typically finish at about 18" - 24" ....I no longer grow the Master Kush, but I do remember that, that strain had a single cola dominance with very low odor. It is a sativa/indica cross, and I believe takes 9 wks to flower.

I have changed my upgraded my lighting a bit now I am pushing 540 Real Watts out of a CFLs in a 4.1 squared area. For a total of 34000 Lumens. /4.1 that = 8292.68 lumens per square foot

Temp is steady at 80 degrees with lights on in the cab

...from what I've read, your cfl's lumens cannot stack up like that. A 26 watt cfl gives like 1700 lumens if I'm correct, if you cram 10 of them together, you do not have 17,000 lumens....you simply have 1700 lumens with a wider spread. And for that reason, I personally will only veg with cfl's and have no experience with flowering under them. :(
