Hello guys, Im pretty new to growing (finished 2 rounds, now in a half of 3rd round). I got a 8x4 tent, 2x600w HPS for flower, 2x400w MH for veg, 5 gal cloth pots, soil. In my previous rounds I got 0.5g/W. I would like to hear your opinions on how to get max out of this tent - especially how many plants and if I should top/lst them. Right now and in my previous rounds I went with 20 plants, I topped each plant and LST'ed them. Flowered between 10-12 inches. But I am starting to feel that im stealing myself ... I fill the tent widthwise, but the plants finish around 27 inches, and i feel like Im not doing it right because I got pretty high tent (6.5 feet).
Would 18 plants with longer veg time and with some training be better? Im lookin for 3 month grows - max 4 week veg under 400w, 2 months flower. I also have a small tent (2.6x2) with 100 watt light where I pre-veg my plants for the next round, so the actual veg time can be 6-8 weeks including sprouting.
To summarize it, I just want to hear some advices/opinions on how to get most of the 8x4, 2x600w, in 3 months rounds with a small pre-veg tent.
