If one has a 48" L x 24" W x 36" H grow box how many plants are ideal for 2x 400w bulbs (MH + HPS)

Is it a good idea to start off seedlings in the same type of humidity tray you would put clones?

and do autoflowering strains need as much nutrients as non autos?



thanks!

if your just doing seedling you could do alot... but like drizzle said prob about 10 vegetating plants for that many watts. you dont have very much height so make sure you learn to super crop to take advantage of all your space.

Starting seeds in that tray is fine, the humidity helps with germination. BUT when the first one emerges from the soil, remove the humidity dome. Good luck!

Thanks for your help guys.

I'll be sure to remove the seedlings from the humidity dome once they reach above the surface and keep the plants nice and trim inside the box
