Scrog in 8 square feet - How many plants should I attempt?

I am wating for seeds to start a 2' x 4' scrog how many plants sound relatively reasonable in ths area? My dwc res has 5 sites available. 1000w mh/hps 33 gallon resevoir drip setup on dwc. 1" hex netting (chicken wire) for screening. abundant ventilation.

i would say 6 - 8

1 monster would be awesome

1 wouild be sweet but I am trying to pull the biggest yield possible by the beggining to middle of june or so. My ventilation intake comes from cool air in the attic. It won't be so cool after that.

Well I think I am going to do five plants with 2 square feet each to weave into. I currently have my screen setup so I have 8 square feet total but if I angle the sides of my screen I can maximize my square feet without causing to much height problems.

My current projected setup:



This what I think I might change up to:

damn.. why u askin US what u should do? looks like u got it ALL FIGURED OUT... with some damn fine illustrations to boot...
what did u use to make those? Adobe photoshop?

looks like u got the right idea. im sold. cant wait to see the comparison of that diagram to your full screen... good luck,,

I use Adobe Illustrator, it's alot easier for diagrams etc. But I do love photoshop as well.

Well I took another look at my setup and the angled scrog just isnt gonna work because my air circulation fan will be blocked:



And I will just have to split the square feet to 1.6 sqr ft per plant. Like so:

Why dont you do what you had planned to maximize your light surface area and let the fan blow through the canopy or get a few small clip fans and direct them downward? dont give up so easily just go spend 20 bucks on some fans that will work!

i agree, just invest in some cheap-o fans. walmart usually has at least a few on clearance, you'd be surprised.

and them are some purdy dia-ma-grams.

Probably will, I just dropped like 1500 bucks on other stuff so I am kinda tight right now. This is just the plan so far. I havent got the seeds yet so iy just depends on whether or not I get paid first or my beans come in.
