How many plants?

If I were in your shoes I wouldn't let it get half full. That's going to be a lot of lst for a newb if you have something that more than doubles in size after the flip. You know your genetics already? I usually do 4 per each 600 regardless. I've tried 3,4,5,6. Easiest to manage and my best yield are usually 4.

Sorry, im totally new to this, but what does it mean to let it get half full and flipping it?

I vote for 4 lol. Also i kind of agree that letting it get half the height of the room (if thats what you^^^meant) would be a mistake. I made that mistake first time with White Russian and I had plants tied down and over and it was quite the cluster fuck lol.

Hey just wanted to add that if your growing from seed you may want to start 6 (seeds I purchase have 6) and cull the runts. Kinda hard to do that though lol. Its hard to kill the little girls! I typically get one or two little guys from a pack but some of the smaller pheno' are the best. Clones do eliminate this though!

Thanks DonAlejandroVega. As im a new grower, whats my best bet? Getting maximun bud with minimising chances of fucking up the grow? Ive ner done scrog, sog, or LST. Gracias

I'd recommend main-lining. I usually end up with 4-6 under my 600w. I've tried scrog and lst, even though main-lining adds a few weeks I think the results speak for themselves.

How many do you think I have going here?

If you're new just let them grow if you have the height. You'll get fat main colas. Easiest.

Trying advanced techniques without knowing how the plant grows / responds you might catch yourself worrying too much and asking dumb questions.

Cool, thanks CannaCole. Yeah, id be dubious about trying to manipulate them too much. Might just try a bit of topping though to beef them out a bit!!

What about a veg room for this sort of set-up? Would 2ft (L) * 2 ft (D) * 3 ft (H) be sufficient? What sort of lighting would you recommend in there?

if this is your first grow, I would recommend that you keep it simple as 4 healthy medium sized plants is better than 4 giants with issues

Thanks Indoor Sun King. Yeah, I havent really a clue what im doing so keeping it simple seems sound!! Any help with the veg room question?? ("What about a veg room for this sort of set-up? Would 2ft (L) * 2 ft (D) * 3 ft (H) be sufficient? What sort of lighting would you recommend in there?)

for a small veg room many use CFL's as they are cheap and easy to setup.... or T5 tubes which is likely better than CFL's but a higher cost

I kept mine under CFL for about 3 weeks, then mixed CFL (6500k) and a 600 watt HPS at 50% power then boosted it up in a week or so

Personally I believe hempy is the easiest method to grow, but likely many would disagree.

I use the basic Lucas formula (7 grams of General Hydroponics Maxi-Bloom / gallon) plus 4ml of cal-mag and pH+ to about 5.8
