In a setup like that your probably only going to get one plant in there. I think a 12inch by 12inch is minimum for one plant man i would go with one female clone, or a feminized seed so you don't waste your time with a male

It depends on the growing technique you employ and if you have an area to veg or access to clones. If you do, then a SOG or SCROG would use every square foot and most likely be the most efficient use of your limited grow area.

If you choose to do just one plant then I would top it numerous times and LST the hell out of it to get as many bud sites as possible.

What strain(s) are you considering?

I have medical sour diesel, sd-nycd,bubba kush, church, white widow.

I would just throw four 8 inch pots in there and I definitely would do very little, if any veg time.

Nice collection there. All from seeds I assume? Your veg time is relevant to what technique you choose obviously but a 150w in a 16"x16" area is pretty nice for a SCROG.

60+ lumens per square inch would develop a nice even canopy if you slowly transition into flowering. Meaning that you would start at 18/6 or whatever you choose and then 16/8 after about three to four days, the 14/10 a few days later etc, etc.

That would mean just growing one strain at a time though.

Its a tuff call because you have some good strains and a small grow area. Most importantly, whats your priority? Are you providing for just yourself?

IMO you could come up with a veg area and start the seeds as moms. than you could easily take 5 clones and put them in 2 lt bottles and do a very nice sog or scrog. but no matter wut you decide that hps well work fucking perfect for your setup good luck man subed

If you still had your dresser to veg in you could do what ever the hell you wanted if you kept the mothers like grower001 just mentioned. Squeezing your moneys worth out of those seeds isn't a bad idea given the strains you have.

Yea all seeds and femmed. See I do construction and get hella materails so I can make a new veg room.
I can't understand the sog and scrog. I have adhd n bi polar so itd hard to understand that shit my brain races to much.yea personal
