how much room per plant do i need?

I am growing in 5 gal. bags. I am using soil. How much space per plant do I need? :icon_confused:

 

what is that like 16 inch footprint?


I use 3 gallon bags with 12 inch footprint and I stack them side by side...


which is what I would recommend unless you are growing some trees

 

hell My square grow bags 3 gl get packed in as tight as I can get them... But 1 sq ft of space per plant is optimal I think...but hey if you don't have the room pack as many in as you can get cause once you flip em and sex them..you will free up space in your grow area..unless you are using clones of some kind.

 

I am using clones and I have been vegging for 30 days and the girls are about 18 to 24 inches tall is that to big? Thanks for your info.

 

how much light do you have?


18 to 24 is about as big as you can veg with 400 watts......if you have some 1K's that's a different game

 

I am veg under 2 400w mh and flower under 3 1000w hps hortilux lamps.

 

damn


you've got some big guns there....how many plants are you working?


with 1K's, I'm sure it's safe to veg them another 30 days

 

I have 50 in a room about 12 x 20 ft.. I am using a co2 system and have 2 dehumidifiers. I have been growing for a few years now but every thing i have learned has been by reading or trial and error. I have been very fortunate to have had little problems but i am now growing into a larger grow and am looking to perfect my hobbie. This site is great i am just concerned about its safety.

 

hell yeah!


that's the way to do shit

 

I will post some pics later tonight. should I start a new thread on my grow?

 

well,


if you are doing a grow this big, I think basically every grower on the site would be interested in it.

 

Thanks for all your input. I look forward to the feed back I will get on my grow. I will start a new thread this evening.

 

yeah, you owe it to everybody....not all the time guys get pull out the stops and grow like that.


I'm looking forward to seeing it

 

I just figured it was time to see what kind of farmer i could be. It is so addicting I cant seem to get enough of these girls. They are beautiful. I think this is the best they have ever looked for me. I am growing Big Bud & White Widow.

 

It's just a suggestion but if you are going that big, i wouldn't post pics of ALL of your plants and setup. If you have a problem that is affecting one plant or all uniformily then you can always take single shots...


whether 50 plants or 500 if you get caught it's all the same... so stay safe

 

Thanks for the suggestion will definately take that into concideration when posting my new thread.
