damn brother really sweet plants.. what does co2 really do? if I'm in tents and can cool it and exhausting air from outside in and out.. is co2 necessary? what kind of plant training you do to these beasts?

If you want to do perpetual with the space you're better off running
1 2x4 with t5s for clones/ seedlings
2 4x4s for veg with a 400 watt mh or led veg light

And 1 4x8 for flower and just have 2x 8 cycling plants or 8x 4 cycling plants.
Would give you 2 week or 4 week veg.

I wanna do two 4x8s and use half to do my 6-8 girls and the other half for seedling as I won't be cloning cause I suck balls at it hahaha and then half of the other for flower.. 4x4 of it will have the 6-8 at 8 weeks and the other half will have the girls at 4 weeks.

slow down ..... lol
shit will you just help a brotha out.. figure you running the same.. why not help another get on your level. Like this is where I wanna start and I just need my light and I plan on running 1800 watts in each.. maybe 1800 in veg tent and 2k in flower.. I need help cooling the room.. because I'm sure that it's gonna be a problem.

just curious how you plant train? how you feed them? those are huge plants for only a 4-5 week veg..

so I wanna do a perpetual with 10 plants every 4 weeks.. they will be from seed, lighting will be 18/6 (idk if 20/4 is any better or any other lighting regiment?) I will have either 2 4x8s each with 3 600s or 4 4x4s each with 1 1k.. now my big question.. will I even be able to fit 10 blooming plants that had a 4 week veg in a 4x4? running strain that are 8 or 9 weeks..

and also would anyone suggest doing 4 600's.. cause I can invest in the raptor that has dual bulb and do 2 hoods with 2 600s in the 4x8s instead of 3 hoods with single 600s.

any tips and advice will be greatly appreciated.. I'm trying to plan this out as best as possible.. I do get trial and error is crucial to learning.. but I just don't wanna spend money foolishly..

2 4x8s with 3 600 each is overkill. 600 a are more efficient than thousand Watters so I'd go with that. 2 600s would be plenty of light, 100 watts per plant is a good rule of thumb. Also keep on mind that if you want to run thousands in a four you will have a hell of a time fighting heat.

this is my problem.. I want people with experience running my setup.. half say it's overkill half say it would be cool cause 6s are better than 1ks. and easier to cool. I know a guy qho runs 2k but we just chop it up about it.. and he does pretty good.

It's 32sf and it only comes out to 56 watts per square foot. people aim higher.. with 8 plants it's ~200 watts per plant..

I balanced the heat with light and ran 6/4/6 in a 4x8 8 plants in 5gal hempy with very good results it was hot but still right around 1gpw no co2. I like my new light much better!

so around 3ps you pulled? no way? how long was your veg..?
Normal veg time 3 weeks. Yes way 3+ been getting around 1gpw for years with a variety of strains, china digitals and junk bulbs. The 400w is in the og putting down around the same amount of light as the 600w's in the blockbusters.
Check my signature for my current grow, im aiming for 2gpw with my new light If i dont hit it on this grow i will on the next one.
