Total cola's in a 4 x 4 under a 600?

I've never done it, but I would guess 16 would be a more realistic number, 1 per square foot.

Thx for the reply Kerovan. I recently changed my method and was curious how to go about it. I may have been trying for too many cola's with 16 two gallon pots. I was trying for 4 medium sized cola's in each pot for 64 total but that is way too many and some of the cola's weren't getting enough light. One cola per pot may be too few to meet my goal for total weight. Maybe 2 per pot might be the way to go. Thx again 8)

My methods a little different but 2.5x2.5 footprint, i use 2”x2” scrog, 4 plants, shoot for 50+/- tops each plant. Each 1/4 of the screen has 49 holes, my goal is to fill them all then lollipop week 3. Im ok with a bunch of goose eggsE7A2E11D-3B52-4481-8FDF-D111C20EDAF4.jpegnot an exact science, just try to fill that canopy. Lemon lotus day 24? 2 on the right, left side lemon lotus back, goji og front, day 10ish.

I was just counting my colas today in my 2x3....

This is my first grow so take it wih a grain of salt, but with all colas at about the same height, they seem fairly even spaced to fatten up nicely when i spread them out evenly. One plant.

Well shit! Good job man. She looks lovely. What size container? How tall?
Ty :)

In a 8gal homemade smartpot cause im so cheap ill even DIY that to save a few bucks. Ha. Then put that in a recycling bin for watering. (Free again)

Shes about 3ft tall almost done the stretch in an ikea closet wrapped with reflective film under 150w of cobs.

This pic is a few days ago to show height and container at flower day 14

Im growing under the same theory as you. I would rather have a few big nugs at top where all the light is concentrated.

Looking good, but it's kind of like comparing apples to watermelons. You have a scrog which will yield a high number of smaller buds on a few plants. A sog like the op is trying is one giant bud per plant that should end up at minimum 4 times the size of scrog buds. Yield works out pretty good either way, just different size and number of buds and number of plants.

Im goin 128 clones in 8x4. 6 inch pots.
2x600watt and 315watt cmh
4 plants per sq foot.
I think i had it at 12g/plant and Ill get ~4lbs?

Im just not sure how tall to get em before flower, im thinkin 8-10”

That sounds badass, do you have pics of it late in flower?

I feel ya. Ill be testing out SOG with clones on my next run.

Damn this thread took off lol! Yes, I am looking for big fat cola's. I can only veg for 4 weeks max because I'm running a perpetual. I was trying for 4 big cola's per plant in 16 two gallon pots. I'm just not getting good numbers. My max yield per plant was around an ounce but that was my very best. I mostly average about 3/4 per plant and that is not cutting it for a 600 watt hps.

I should be getting better numbers with a 4 week veg from clone.

you could veg for longer even if your running a perpetual, just make sure you have enough room in your veg room. i plant my seeds sometimes 3 months in advance so i can get 2 months of veg
