I want to grow in 3.3.6 fet space i need help please?..

[Simba1]

howmany auto and photo plant i can put with what pot size for optimum harvest?is 600 hp lamp enough ?

600W HPS covers that 3.3.6 area

as to how many plants depends on how you grow 'em. at one extreme, you could have many plants (10+) and 'head' them quickly without much vegetative stage and produce buds relatively quickly with single colas on smaller-sized plants. or, at the other extreme, you could grow SOG technique, growing a single plant to cover that whole 3.3 area, then 'head' them. this single plant would take longer to harvest, using this SOG technique. different growing technique means different times (light cycles and duration).

some varieties grow bushy, some tall, etc. some are auto-flowering, others are more photo-period dependent, etc. different traits, different growing patterns, etc. these traits may determine what growing technique to employ.

4 mature plants would be probably a comfortable number, if you were growing from seedling to flowering.

you stated pots - assuming you're growing in potted soil, then get pots as large as you can get. i use up to 110 Litres (25 gallons?), 85 Litres (20 gallons?) - but you could go even to 20/40 Litres to get a pound of harvest.

Very help full tnx ,my pot sizes will be close to 20 liter pot and ill grow 4 autoflowers first then ill keep to grow 8 for later and for photo period flower i have 50 liter pot with 50 centimiter hight that can grow monster plant but the hight is the problem ???i dont know the best ideal 50 liter pot hight to get best result ?

I would probably grow those 4 auto-flowers first, see how they go. I assume when you stated keep 8, that it's seeds you're talking about.

height is dependent on growing conditions & genetics - but height can be controlled, you can train, LTS or SOG or prune to shape the plants. otherwise, if the plant is grown through a short vegetative stage, then it would be relatively shorter (less bushier even) when its 'budded' (shortened on/off light cycle). ofcourse, shorter plant, less yield but less electricity to produce in a quicker timeframe. shorter plants means you could cramp more in that grow area. more shorter plants with smaller yield may be more productive, than fewer larger plants which yields more, but takes more time to.

you got 6' in height - that's good allowance, space in which you could work with. you're referring to the height of the pots itself and then need to take into account the fixture width & distance between the lights and the top of the plants.

I would work it out as i go....

what strain/varieties are they, those auto-flowers and other?

Have you ever grown any plants, I mean anything? If not save yourself some time and money and go to the dollar store and buy a pack of basil seeds. Seriously. If you can grow basil you can grow weed but first make your mistakes on basil, it's a lot cheaper and then you'll have a lot more success at growing weed.

I have some experiance i did all my mistake now is a time to get harvest know iam busy to gather materials and make the room then ill start open loop for tow harvest then my concentration is on close loop with co2

you got the 600 W HPS and grow space, you could start with 4 seeds/plants, use those 50 L pots. smaller number of plants is easier to manage, also you got those 8 in reserve. no time better to start than now, no?

of course larger pots means more medium/soil, heavier, bulkier, etc. But larger pots doesn't dry out as quickly as smaller pots, larger pots means larger root mass, supporting larger plants. there is always this kinda trade-off.

you said 'you wanted to grow...' - so you haven't got it setup as of yet?

 

[hillbil]

And some of us train and flower a plant per square foot and others use SOG and 3-4 plants per square foot. I am a trainer In about 6-8 liter plastic waste paper baskets.

Might want to check on the materials used and what might leach. Otherwise get to growin'.

The setup going to take time cause i have to order some one to make it ,iam from middle east due to sanction i have to scrach the shops to get materials but hopefully they are available with duble cost i am managing it
I had my experiance i india and thailand and when i got back i start to study about it and searched for a while also its funy my mom held me alot caiuse she is biologist lollll

I have always grown in 11 liter pots, bigger pots just means longer veg time, and longer veg times means fever harvests in a year, you might get some impressive big plants, but in the end the yield will be the same. I put 9 11 liter pots per square meter and trim off all the lower branches.

Not gonna mention the use of autoflowering plants indoors again, but it still dont make sense to me since the timer is invented (unless you are a seed company, best way to keep people coming back to buy more seeds, femmed autos)

This is what 1 square meter with 9 Cinderella99 looks like (taken with a bad cam) the brown spots is wind damage, the fan used is way too powerful for such a small space, but the other ones are in use in the other rooms.

First af all i like ur grow room
Second such yumy girls yogot there ,
How u manage to get all pot like feeding and triming ?

Thank you.

I cut off the lower branches to give me room to water and trim, the lower branches dont get enough light anyway so the buds will just be little fluffy ones, rather have the plant put that energy into the bigger buds

How many branch do u cut off normally throw the whole grow?

That's a tight space, I would grow autoflowers on an assembly line basis, let me see small autoflowers, crop king has a couple decent autos, candy cane and revolver, there dwarfs are cool to, revolver is a purple pheno, pics candy cane, revolver, and 2 dwarfs , these plants are fast stable and smallish with no plant growing over 3ft, are you going to buy a tent or grow in a closet it makes a difference, a 600w led will hang down 2 to 3 feet if you buy a Chinese model some weigh over 10 pounds, a small grow to me would be 4 of those dwarfs but enclosed in a tight space 600w may be to much, you should decide if your going to buy a tent for your small grow if you had a 600w led I would recommend a 4×4×80 tent, if your smaller than that go with a closet and smaller light.

My room which i decided is 3.28 lengh and wide and 6.56 feet hight ill use hps lamp LED is costly for now

I'm my humble option a metal halide light in such a confined space you are going to have serious heat problems, a mh is to much light and heat in that small a space, the heat can damage your plants unless you run an airconditoner while your lights are on, may bee.

 

[Edinburgh]

Try and find a smaller light like a ufo, go on e bay people are upgrading all the time you may be able to get a good deal on a smaller light, a light does not to be big to be good or hot, I would go on e bay and see who is selling what?

 

[roach]

I use a 600w in a 3 foot wide, 6 foot long and almost 6 foot high room (I think) but I have a pretty powerful exhaust fan, if it was only 3x3 I would go with a 400w.

I dont have a set number of branches that I cut off, but atleast the first 2-3 gets cut off and then as they start flowering you can see which aren't getting enough light, the important part is that no branch gets shaded, and when looking down from the top I can't see through the canopy.

And you can grow non auto's in small spaces too, just flower them smaller, that way you can also keep clones so you dont have to buy new seeds all the time, which again means you can learn the exact needs of that clone, and get a better quality. In my experience, a pack of seeds gives 1 or 2 really good plants, some average ones, and some not so good ones, so if you grow from seeds everytime you will end up growing a lot of not very good to okay plants and not very many really good ones (when I say not very good plants its still better than most commercial weed, but thats often not a very high standard)

Hope it makes a bit of sense, english is not my native langue and I'm really stoned :p
