60 Plant Grow Setup

Hey, I just want to make something really clear for ya and i am saying this because I am thinking this just might be your first time..
When i started to grow I used two 1000Watts, I used soil, and I used synthetic feed. These things that I listed should be obviously your depending variable. For your pot size, that all depends on your independent such as your plant size! Very simple to understand; likewise, if u want big yielding plants which for indoor do not rely on getting more then 4Oz a plant if u do not veg for 5weeks in soil..
3 gallon will do plenty for u BUT only veg for 3 weeks and then flower and by this time your plants will start to depend on your feed program because of the complex light intensity.
I read that u want one big grow because U are going to occupy your residence for more no more than 5 months.. So I would veg for 5 Weeks under 1000Watt HPS (forget about the MH) and then flower for 8-9 weeks.. A very simply principle to apply is to spread your plants out and give them some lighting penitration. Do Not think more plants will give u more weed!!! nor think that hydro will give u a higher yeild, Hydro will only allow u to have a roughly one more harvest a year.
I dont think U have connections to commercial fungicides to take care of mold or bugs, so in your case, DO NOT overcrowed, this will help act as a preventative. U should also get on a debuging program aswel.
So maybe do not go 60 plants. Maybe 40 or even 20 under 4 1000WattHPS will work- it all depends on your independet variable-plant sizes.
In my case, I used to cram 40 under 2 1000Watts, now I cram 32 under 8 1000Wats in one room, and 28 in my other room. And as a side note I veg for 4 weeks in home made containers equaling around 7gallons of soil per plant and I yeild anywere from 3-6onzes a plant respectivly. My work load is cut down and I can pay attention to gardening.
BTW good luck, and get some oder controll lol. in my opinon, nothing really works when u go over 4 plants.

You mentioned it is a new room. Something you may want to keep in mind is that concrete absorbs CO2 for (I think) 2 years after it is built in a process called carbonation. You may want to add a bit more to make up for it. Nice looking set up by the way, I wish I had space to dedicate a whole room to growing.

i'd agree, the bud in the pic looks mighty fluffy. i guess if his stems were large enough i suppose the weight is what it is. but then u can't smoke stems or at least shouldn't.

dude u need odor control asap and also you need to light proof that winda unless you wanna get robbed or busted. if i was you i would start 30 plants and wait 3 weeks(depending if your going with clones) then plant the other 30. about the last 1-2 weeks of flowering take 30 clones and start them for your next crop. so you will get a harvest of 30 plants every 3 weeks. and you could get about 4 crops all tog. in 5 months, maybe more. also are you gonna be able to water all ur plants when there like 4 ft tall?
