So I'm doing a 360 degree ScrOG box once my current grow is all harvested; I wasn't sure what to call it, because I don't think that anyone has quite done this before. This is a plan I've been developing and changing for some three years, but I need help from my RIU friends to change it from theory to practice. The dimensions will actually be 4'2"X4'2"X4'2" so that the furthest that the bulb will be from the foliage will be 35", and the closest the bulb will be (except for late flowering, when the flowers will grow up from the screen of course) is 25". I'm hoping to have 2000W of light in there, one 1000W HPS and another 1000W MH. What this totals up to is over 17 square feet of screen per side, but I need to be able to access all the sides to LST them. So, what I plan on doing is growing up either side, along the bottom, AND along the top. Growing down from the top is going to be the tough part, but its partly for the experimental bit of it that really attracts me to the idea. My plan ATM is to LST the plants that will be on top horizontally to the sides of their DWC boxes, and then LST them straight down. Once they reach the bottoms of the boxes, there should be more than enough light for them.
Now, let's just say that that creates 16 sq ft, to be conservative, of screen for the ScrOG. And let's say that we harvest 1 oz from each sq ft-- also really conservative, especially considering it's going to be DWC and there's going to be 1000W of mixed spectrum, which is a hell of a lot for that small space. That's a 62 oz harvest, or almost 4 pounds-- at a REALLY conservative estimate. If this works out well, I will definitely be using some of the profits to invest in CO2 injection equipment as well, and at optimum, I truly believe I could be harvesting 2 oz / sq ft of very high quality, or about 8 pounds every 4 months. Give me your opinions, tips, what have you! One of my issues is that I am totally willing to cooltube my HPS, but I don't really want to cooltube the MH, because the main reason I want to use it is the UVB, which from what I've read would be greatly reduced by the cooltube.
