Not a single bug yet, got my fingers crossed... but its not hard to get in there I can move em all around the plants only take up like a 8 x 8 foot area n the room is like 10 x 12 so I got at least two feet on all sides to where I could move em if I had to to get up in there. Just curious as to why you say no more han 6 per, I'm in 2 gal pots u think that's still too many? And also u said hps for flower n I know that's wat everyone says but I was really lookin for people who have done side by sides. If u have then I'd love for u to go into further detail as it to how it went. As of right now the plants under the mh in my room are outperforming the ones under hps so was just curious if anyone else had similar results.

If you're going to scrog with 9 under each light your canopy will outgrow your net easily. You wont have anything organized. The last thing you want is a crap canopy while scrogging.

Well with more plants I could shorten the veg time couldn't I? That way they wouldn't outgrow the net.

And what strains u got goin for this years outdoor ABM? I got blue dream, banana kush, juicy fruit, gsc, gdp, and master bubba kush. I'll have some pics of em up soon.

The whole point of scrogging is to fill out your net before you flip.. With 9 under the light you'll see that its too much and your canopy will be out of control. It just takes once to learn, first hand experience :)

All new strains. I have only run some of the BB gear under the 400 in a tent. The smoke was great but the setup wasn't ideal. I am still playing with indoor growing when the weather lets me. :)

My original plan was to do 20 under each light sog style but I ended up receiving 40 clones for free before I was ready for em so I had to veg them too long while I was finishing my flowering room. So I just went with 60 but I shouldve just went with thr original 40. You live n u learn. I'm still debating between sog n scrog next run haven't decided yet. N I'm in the oak park/franklin area, there's lots of houses over here with basements. N my room isn't even half of the basement, its only about a third of it so there's room for expansion.

Free clones are never bad bro. But its sog all the way man scrog is much more fore the "i can only grow six at a time" type ya kno. I just tried scrog on my last grow about a month into flower I had to cut the screen n just space em out. Very tedious work for sure.u should build a wall section off a veg room. Oh n I was raised out in o.p off 44th n 14th

That's wats up its always fun runnin new gear... but ya this indoor stuff is pretty tedious I'm more an outdoor kinda guy but I'm just happy ill be growing year round from now on. But ya I wish the weather was cooler here so I could bareback (bare bulb) it indoors n get rid of all the fans but were not awarded that privelage here.

I would love to run some of the stuff I had last year or even the year before. I just didn't have a way to keep them going. I do now if I can get temps regulated. Got any room for a brothas plants in the basement? LOL
