Beginner*2Tent*Veg/Bloom Tips Please.

Ok. So I'm thinking about buying two 2'8x4'1x7'6 grow tents. Was thinking of using 400Watt HPS for bloom, And t5 ho 4 bulb setup for veg/clone what do you guys think? And does anybody have an idea of how many plants i could fit in there with 5-gallon or 3-gallon buckets or pots?

when i did 5 gallons i could fit 8 in that footprint. get a 600W (your gonna have to aircool anyway.)

2 plants. I wouldnt do any more than that. It's not how many plants can you fit . . . it's how much conopy can you fill with buds. You can easily FILL an area that size with two plants. My 8 plants FILL a tent that's 4'9"x9'6" (7ft tall). I'm using 2gal hydro pots.

Well, see i'm a medical patient. I'm trying to figure out how much space I would need to start a perpetual grow cycle. With a *15 Plant Limit* EDVICE WELCOME AND NEEDED. P.S. The plants i'll be working with are original cut clones of DJ Short Blueberry. Flowering time of 45-65 days (from forcing). My friend crops every 21 days with a 30 plant regiment. So What could I do with 15.????

I would honeslty go with a larger tent but if you are doing a auto flower plants and such I dunno you prob could use the HPS all through and just keep it fasr away till they get a little larger however another point was brought up that you need good venting since tents get pretty hot and it wont be any different with a 600 HPS in there. I dont think the short will get above 20" ( i think?) because it is a dwarf as i remember but I could be a lil off, I'd go to home depot or w/e and measure the total width of the 3 gal and then throw those numbers into tent and see what u get, I have see autoflowered plants grown in 2 liter bottles cut in half so I am a believer that they can almost be planted in anything. Let me know what you think!

SG

Again, it's about canopy space. You could lolipop a bunch of tiny ones. IMO you don't have enough space to do a perpetual harvest. You have enough space to flower 2 good sized plants at a time. That'll yield about 8-12 zips every 65 days. What's wrong with that?

PS. We're all medical patients

Damn,hmm well this will be my first time around trying to grow. And ill be starting it in several months, Don't know yet if i'll be living in a apartment or small house. I dont wanna screw up because this will help ease the bills. so you say 8-12 what kind of techniqs are you using lol (FIMM,Top,Bending,)? Can anybody run by a scenario on both situations (apartment or small house).

what hes sayin is valid. for his situation. trees are for a room. not a tent. go for short production/sog. with 8 count 5 gals,assuming your starting with cuttings your looking at 3 foot 2 zip minimum followin an okay feeding sched imo. thats more then 2 at 12zips..... even more with 1 gal pots.

everyone has there own method. if your leaning toward perpetual youll want to look into more this style till you get more workspace. i mean you could start with one plant from seed and learn a bit gluck

I have had great success flowering in a 1 square foot area per plant ratio. You could easily flower 12 plants in there. Good Luck

Flowering a lot of small plants requires clones. Do you have a good source for quality clones? Are you going to start from seed?
