i am getting ready to start flowering my next round of crops and i am a little unsure of how far apart the plants need to be in order for them all to receive enough light without crowding them? i am currently using a ebb & flow style hydro table that will hold 10 plants if they're all crammed in there. any help or suggestions?

i have a rubber made bin with 4 holes cut in it there about 1 foot apart an now into flowering there way to close.. i think early on you can get away with ten crammed but for flowering id give about 18" in a radius from the base of the stem. thats what imma do next time.

the more room the better, remember, treat your plants like you would want to be treated

I have a 2'x2'x7" ebb and flow tray and i put 8 plants in it to flower under a 400w HPS. My Homebox is 3'x3'x6'. I keep them fairly short for a SOG grow.

the 18" radius from the base of the plant sounds like a good idea but it just seems like there'd be lots of wasted space. i guess i'll just have to play around with it and see what i can manage to squeeze into my space. thanks for the replies everyone!

I use the sog method Marijuana Sea of Green Method - Concept420 - Marijuana Entertainment and Information and i take clones off of mother plants. I lollipop my plants 2-3 weeks before harvest so the plants can put all of their energy into growing massive colas.

it all depends on how big you let them veg. When i have too many crowding, ill trim the fan leaves so its nothing but bud instead of taking them out. Typically you should give each plant about one foot by one foot, if you flower them under 12 inches. it also depends on how bushy you grow them. Sometimes ill grow a monster for fun that will take up a good four feet by four feet.

haha I like your idea of fun!
