In a month I'll have as much as a hundred clones. I'll be growing in coco. What would be an optimum setup for max yield? I'll be growing in a 4 x 4 tent. How many should I put in? I can use fabric pots either one gallon or two gallon. Or I can put the coco in a 4 by 4 tray and plant them all in the same tray. Also please advise about plant spacing, quantity, veg time, pruning, or anything else you think of. Advice is much appreciated and thank you in advance

i love my top feed in the flood tray but for multi plant sogs you just cant beat flood drain. Its super easy to dial in and probably the cheapest to set up.
4x4 tray
1 gal square pots (as many that will fit)
I would go 1 week veg from rooted clone (just make sure you see growth before you flip)
When you start flowering keep moving the samller plants to the middle and create a stadium

Make sure you use nutes that are designed for coco. Ive used house and garden coco a and b and they are great.
Just a few little tips for you if you do flood drain.
Mix in about 30% perlite with the coco. Just put the big coco block in a tote soak it in water then dump in some perlite and mix it by hand.
Another thing is if you use square plastic pots drill a bunch of small holes (not to many) on the bottom of the sides of the pots and fill them about 2-3 inches up with hydroton. They will drain out really good.
If you need a cheap stand for the trays a standard 8x8x16 cinder block standing up on top of the standard solid 4x8x16 block at each corner works perfect! Cant beat a tray stand for $16!

a friend of mine is using a 2x4x8 room with 600 watt and scrogging 2 plants and he has 152 bud sites Scrogging is the shit for a few plants but any more than that and it gets to be a hassle maintaining especially the ones farthest away from you You can get more buds with fewer plants. Dont shove too many plants in that tent I would go 600 watt with 6 plants in 5 gallon buckets. prune them 5-6 times but not after the 3rd week of veg, continue veg for 5 weeks then flip to 12-12 Also watch your PH levels and adjust accordingly
