What Style Of Growing Should I Use?

i am in california and i can no longer afford my medicine. I have turned to this site to maybe help me grow it for myself and have enough to share with other patients in my situation.

i am allowed 6 mature and 12 immature plants.

so i am thinking that i could have a 9 plant flower room and a clone/veg/mother room.

I am just wondering given my plant restrictions what growing style would be best for me. sog? lst? big plants long veg, short plant short veg?

thanks in advance

Depends on what your budget is, as well as how big your grow space will be.

your total yield will be limited MOSTLY by the amount of watts and not the strain or method used. This being said the best way to get a high yield from few plants is to use a DWC set-up with high output HPS lamps

havent tried it myself by it seems aeroponics gives the quickest results, you can save some time on vegging cuz the plants will grow fast and put earlier into flowering. I don't know if aeroponic cultures also flower quicker, but cutting 2 weeks of vegging itself is not a bad thing

aeroponics seems a little more compex, but once you start it running you have total power to adjust things like ph, and nute amounth. This + all the water a pland could need and a lot of oxygen also seems like the best type of medium and chepest/cleanest in the long term

light is also a thing of major importancy, as each watt of light is turned into bud, so if you have big plants light becomes the limiting factor on yield. A 400W HPS light can get you from day 0 till the end and is enough for 3-5 plants. A 600W HPS will perfectly suit an 3x3 9 plants array

Apart from the HPS flowering space you can build a small, CFL vegging box, thats gonna run with the light on 24/7, won't spend much eceltricity and will allow for rapid growth.

If the legal limit is 6 plants I would make sure they are 6 really big plants, so you can LST them and turn them into bushes with many colas, you can even go for 2x250W lights or even 2x400 cause 2 lights will surely cover more area, and LSTed plants are prety wide spread

So, hydroponics or aeroponics - the fastest growing media (get big plants fast)
HPS lights - for the highes yield possible (get much bud from those big plants)

well i dont think i worded my question just right...

i really want to know if in a 2ft by 3ft by 6ft tall flowering room what i can do with a 6 mature plant limit.

how can i yield the most ?

i am thinking that a flood table and lst might do it.

and then again i am also thinking of doing a dwc scrog.

i think a 400 watt light would be the best thing for me.


anyways i am looking for the maximum yield possible from 6 plants and a 400W hps in a 2x3ft space

with a clone room/mother or purchasing clones.
