16" x 9" flood table


can i get away with 4" rockwool cubes, like 6-8 plants in a flood table?


or would it be overcrowded?


i have 4 trays 16"x9"

You'll have to put them in flower when they're pretty small, but you should be able to do 6-8.

I just put 10 little girls into flower in about 10 X 24. They're only like 3-4 inches tall right now. we'll see how badly they get rootbound....

Yeah - but with height comes width, adequate space for roots etc...

As well as you need some air circulation - if it's too crowded, they can't breath / transpire properly. Bud squishes against Bud - Mold grows. All kinds of bad.

Mylar is prefered, but white paint works nearly as well.

if you grow them to 12"before flowering you will have major problems,you may be alright if you flower at 6"i wouldnt go past that.

because with height comes width and that is what you dont have they become bushes,what is the highest you have flowered,and do you remeber how thick they became,what you want to do is trying to get out more then you can and will end up with less,believe me.

is there a ratio? if it grows 12'' will it grow half that in width, like 6'' or so. i would think it depends on the light watts and area u put it in? im thinking of growing 4 plants in two 3x5 area. one for veg and another for flowering. would you think it would be possible to flower 4 plants under a 400 watt HPS, and veg my mothers and daughters under a 2 bulb 2''-4'' Florencent.

haha... i figured out my dilemma since i posted this....


still finishing and running trials and such...


but my remedy is to just lollipop like shit and make sure my ventilation is top notch, flawless.... i think i have finally found the fans that suit my needs (ultra quiet and mass air flow)

i have a couple of flood trays 16" x 8" and im tryna squeeze like 4-5 small clones in each tray for perp harvest...running fresh air underneath the canopy along with lollipop remedies my problem....or so i hope!!!

well the size differs.... depends on the size of clones


height is not a problem..... diameter is!!!

they only are given like 20 inches to grow bushy (which is what i dont want)

which is why i clip everything that is more than an 1in
