I was thinking running 6 25litre dwc buckets dont know wether i would do rdwc or jus stick a airstone in each one yet i wanna make the most of my space was guna do sog but thinking bit to many plants im comfertable with under 9 i can keep my temps at 24-25c lights on and 19c off 600w hps could posibly run extra 250w or 400w aswell in there when weater cools down abit im aiming for around 20z but thinking 6 plants veged for 3-4 weks then flowered what u guys think ?

I got the same setup with only one 600w. I do six 5 gallon bucket. Still have more than enough space. Could probably get away with 12 buckets in there.


edit: you could do one 1000w light. then you would only have 1 heat source to cool down.

I run the same tent with a 1000w on a light mover and typically have 9 in my space perpetual allowing me to harvest 1 or 2 plants a week depending on rotation and strain. When I ran a 600w in there I was doing 6 plants. Currenty I average around 2.5 per plant

Only 7 in there right now

I have a 5x5 tent, 4 bucket undercurrent hydro system, CO2, and a 1000 watt light and pulled 22 ounces from my last grow, which was also my first. Now I have a SCRoG going and plan on pulling much more this time. I think you could get a very similar setup in your 4x4. Good luck!

Here is a pic of my grow, just started week 5 of flower:

Insan3 how long do you veg for ? And what sort of yeild are you getting? If i do 6 plants i will have to average around 3.3 oz a plant which shouldnt be too hard to do .

I started doing scrog on my grow atm but i ended up taking the net out bevause it was a bitch to change the water and nutes and clean buckets out

And you are either like a duck to water or ur pulling my leg abit here mate 22oz first grow ? Shit i got 1 gram my first ever grow with a 9 w led and a 23w cfl in a bedside cabinet lol but ur grow looking good mate fair play to ya did u make ur rdwc your self ?

It really depends on the strain i am growing usually 4 to 6 weeks. I avg about 2 to 4 oz a plant keep in mind i am not doing anything else ( lst, sog, toppin or etc) i am also fairly new to growing. I prefer dwc over rdwc for now since i only have a handfull of plants. Just keep it simple for now.

Sounds good the only thing thats putting me off rdwc is a few of the lads have had floods and just think fuck that dont want to be drawing attention to myself

I ran read for a few runs. Thankfully I had the foresight to put pond liner on the entire floor and six inches up the wall. Had two unexplained floods that would have ruined my house.
