Preface it by saying having my 400 less than one month, I am not in any position to speak from experience either.  A lot would depend on your grow space/box and style of growing, but on average... 2-3 adult plants open air. If you had an optimal grow box/reflector/wall covering, just winging it here, somewhere between 4-8? SOG it and have 18-24, train and have one or two... As you can see, a lot depends on style of grow.  I am going to see if 4 plants at staggered flowering times can be done open air. Good growing, Plains | ||

| Ok so like what is a decent method of set up? I wanna get as much use out of the lamp as possible. The more the merrier you know how it goes.

| Phorsha - a few comments. Your plants look badly stretched. I also saw stakes tying them up. Another no no. Is that because they are so stretched? I'd untie them, get the light as close as you can without burning them, and let them go. my 2cents Choader

| just a personal note, but after looking at her plants I dont think i would be using it as an example for anything i was attempting. In your situation, i would set the light up in the grow space 18" from the bottom and turn it on. Make note as to which areas get the most light. use that as a kinda template to determine how many 3 or 5 gallon pots can fit in that space. I would guess 3-4. Start 8 seeds and transplant up to 1 gallon planters. veg the plants in the one gallons until alternating nodes show (should not be root bound at this time) then change to 12/12. hope to get 3-4 females. keep the best of them and transplant to your 3 or 5 gallon buckets | ||
