which is funny because i took calculus.
> <
Need to go back to school.

So anyways, i have a space thats 15X15x7
Was wondering how many cubic meters that is.

And if i had 3 1000w hps lights, would that be sufficient, to yield 10lbs?
The strain is big bud.

I know there's a lot of variables, but i just want to know if its possible.....

Thanks!

In my experiences, no. That doesnt seem possible. Dont care how long you veg them, 3 - 5 lbs is more realistic.




Im dropping clones in 2 weeks; 10x10x9, 4 1000w HPS, 60\40 coco\perlite, potting 40, flowering the strongest 32. 6 lbs would start my year off quite nicely thank you very much. mauie wowie

Ill thread up with with pics and story board soon.

This is the funniest thing i have seen all day. A math question being asked on a marijuana forum. Ask.com didnt do any good. Google wont tell you how to find cubic meters when you have the three dimensions in feed. A stoner would know.

Is it me or is this totally upside down?

I also say, yes. Is possible to get 10 lbs from one plant...

So long as the plant has 160 nodes on it that produce an oz each. Which would make your plant about 9 feet tall and 15 feet wide. It would have to be FIMed and LST unmercifully and kept in veg for about a year with so much light and CO2, you would asphixiate and be burned to a crisp when they find you the next day. Flushing would require something the size of a kid's pool and you would need saws to cut the branches down.

After you and 5 of your friends trimmed for 4 hours straight, you all would be so high from absorbing the THC, that the last hour would last about 2 hours. Your hands would stick together and you wouldnt be able to pick up or drop anything until the resin wore off. The odor would be so strong, thats all you would smell for weeks.

You would fill your bathroom floor to ceiling with clothes lines as it dried, forcing you to crap in a folded newspaper for 2 weeks or more. At that point, you would hate the smell of weed and when someon sparks up a bowl, youd be sick to your stomach.

All of this is best case scenerio. It would be mega worse if you got a mold infestation.

I'm assuming u want a 10 lb total yield. 15ft x 15 ft = 5 x 5 meters = 25 sq meters AREA. = 1 plant per sq meter = 25 plants . You would need to yield 1/4 lb per plant dry for 10 lbs. Growth limited by height of plant (about 4 ft: 7 ft minus lamp minus safe distance from lamp) . Tighten that up a bit to say .66 meter (2ft) per plant and you could cram in 8 more plants for a total of 33 plants. The VOLUME of the area for vent purposes would be 5x5x2.3 = ~ 57 cubic meters or 15 x 15 x 7 = ~ 1575 cubic feet. These are just numbers. I'm sure people who have been to Hard Knox could give you more realistic numbers on an actual grow. I'm just doing the math . 3 lights seems ok. ??
