NEED FEEDBACK!!!! Ebb and Flow

I am in a JAM.... Ebb & Flow

4x4 Tray... Under one 600 watt HPS...


How many plants can fit in the tray???

Want to grow them no taller than 4feet at harvest..kiss-ass
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

I was thinking 9 plants but was told 20 will fit fine....

go with 9... at 4 ft theres gonna be alot of side branching

you could do 20 if they were small, like zero-veg clones like I do. 4 foot plants are a waste with a 600W light, because you don't get much penetration past the top 12 inches. Lower branches will all be wispy buds.

do 12 3 to 4 footer harvest tops then lower light wait 2 3 more weeks harvest rest done deal

ya man harvest twice on one plant one of the best ways to increase harvest

Have any of you ever done this...

very very good information!

all the time i am able this way not always but most the time get 1.2 to 1.5 pounds per harvest this way flush 2 weeks take top bus and all ripe buds leave as many fan leaves as possible then back onto the fllod tabel with the rest on a slightly lower ppm so not to burn them

add to above thats on a 4x4 under 1 600w i know my names is ledgrowing but before you say anything i love led in veg not so much in flower this is why in flower i rock the 600 w hps

well it depends on what grow style you are looking at with sog what i do is veg in 4 plants per square foot (seeings how i only veg 2 weeks max) in a 4x4 tray i could cram 64 in 6"x6" square pots vegging then when they go into flower one plant per square foot is ideal to let some of the side branching join the canopy. any that don't are eliminated for more concentration on the canopy cola's. light hardly gets down there anyway so in flower i would go 16 also depending on strain of course.

I was thinking 9-16 plants during flowering....

if it were me i would put 20 small clones in the bed and veg for a week. you can do 5 harvests a year this wayas opposed to 4.

i'm gearing up for my next grow in ebb-flow 4x4 tent. going with the 20 girls, veg till they are 8-9 inches then flower. i know it's going to be tight but the name of the game is try and keep on trying

Personally in a 4x4 tray i would go 16 plants.

Set them up in a 4x4 arrangement, that's ~1 plant per square foot.
You can flower around 8" to 12" depending on your genetics.

PERFECT!!! With that much light I would flower 6" to 8" max and you should be golden.

Why only 6-8 inch at flower??? The plant would only be 12-16 inches when harvest...
