sounds like a really fun grow. i dunno if would scrog the whole thing. that will be ALOT of work weaving the branches. i would go sog or just go normally and veg for a while to get huge plants.

He is wanting to do a scrog not a sog. Sog is really small plants top cola focusing buds. SCROG are sometimes usually big plants that grow through a screen and need much more space than a SOG... Hope this helps:peace:

Ok i am currently doing the sea of green method. I have 6 mother plants in a 3 ft. by 3 ft. space. My budding area is about 24 sq. ft. I have a 1000 watt hps for that area.
I am putting my clones in 6 in. pots to fill the flowering room. I figured it out, i could fit a maximum of 96 plants in the flowering room with the 6 in. pots. So my ??? is should I put about 24 clones in the room every two weeks? that would be 96 total after a month of doing so, or is this too many plants for this area/light. Should I put a lesser amounts of clones in every two weeks? and ALSO what kind of yield can I expect every two weeks????????? Appriciate your help

My grow area is 24 feet by 24 feet. 8.5 feet in height. I am looking to grow 60 plants in soil. So far I have bought 4 1000 watt Euro System 240 Volt ballast. The hoods are pretty large, 6 inch air cooled and reflective. The ballasts will accept both metail halide and HPS. I will be using Metal halide for the veg and HPS for the flower. I am really searching for the best way to gow my 60 plants and get the highest yield. I have the space for sure but do i really want to go with more than 4 1000 watters. I am using 3 gallon buckets.

Personally i would only do 24 plants in your room. each plant needs 1 sq foot to grow properly. u get 96 plants in that small area with just 1 1000 and your going to run into alot of problems. mold from everything touching each other constantly. you will get alot of small plants with barely any big buds cause everything will be constantly fighting each plant for space. and who knows the yeild. IMO would do 24 under 1 1000. thats stretching the 1000 watter too.

matters how you ventilate. but even a nicely ventilated bulb, I would keep 1-2 foot from the plant.
If you have an unsealed unvented hood...better make it 2-3
