How much area for each plant?

Hi,

I am wanting to grow some weed indoors, but not a lot (1 or 2 plants). I am thinking something like white widow or similar due to their fairly short height.

What I want to know is what area should I allow on average for each of these plants. I have no idea to the average 'dimensions' of a plant such as white widow. Could someone point me in the right direction?

The reason I ask this is so that I can build a cupboard to grow them in. What I do not want to do is build a cupboard that is too small or a large one that may attract more attention than it should.

cheers:peace:

I give mine about 1.5sqft per plant, but you can build your grow around the amount of space.... They tend to grow into each other a bit, but as long as it wont restrict airflow, and you dont need to move them too much, you could get away with having your pots right up against each other (1 sq ft)

Cool thanks!

So that would be in something like a 5 gallon pot?

I just found it hard to gauge the sizes of the plants from pictures on the net.

Think of it like this, whatever pot you are using: You want 1-1.5 ft between base stems. 5 gal buckets could be pretty close, but I would give them about 4-6" in between.
