New grower here, about to finish up my first successful indoor grow. I had about 4 failed grows prior to this
I ran two autoflowers and one bag seed in a 32x32x63″ tent under a true 250 watt LED full spectrum light, Roleadro 600 second gen.
I grew the plants in 5 gallon pots for the autos and one gallon for bagseed.
Next grow I am doing photoperiod, 4 different strains, in 3 gallon pots.
The reason I’m doing 4 strains is I’m growing for friends and family and I live in a less than ideal area.
I also plan on following nugbuckets manifold technique, I’ve tested it out on the bag seed and have not flowered it yet but it has turned out well.
Is it ridiculous to think I can fit 32 colas from 4 plants in that size tent, I’m sure my light is a little undersized but I don’t plan on upgrading until I’ve more than broke even on buying everything.
I am going to be using Nectar for the gods.
Just train the hell out of them. Trellis or scrog to ensure the light gets where it needs. Your light should be sized to the square footage of your canopy… you have 32×32 of “cola space,” whether you grow it out as one bushy plant or 9 single-cola soda bottles.
If you were growing all the same strain in a space that size, I’d suggest maybe growing them all in one big container to further improve efficiency, but some folks don’t agree… and with separate strains it probably makes sense to keep them separate to address their different needs.
Appreciate the input Meristem! I’m going to start germinating today.
Judging by my profile pic. Id cram nine of my one foot wonders in that space. Or veg a little longer and have only one. Some say bigger better i beg to differ. All up to personal preference. All you gotta do is fill up whatever space you can. And remember most kinds will double…give or take a few… in size from the initiation of flower cycle. P.s. don’t forget the fans
meristem is absolutely right. Lots of training. Topping, pruning and deffinitly trellis. That should allow you to achieve your goal.
Just popped 4 seeds in some jiffy pellets!
