my problem!
i have a 4.2 meter (lengh) by 2.2 meter (width) and a height of 2.2 meters. i plan on doing a sog vertically on the walls using rockwell sponge. And in order to maximise plant numbers and shorter time i am dividing the room in two with an artificial wall that will go 3/4 across the shorter side of the room with a small pathway to pass through that will have a curtain to maintain the climate. you see i expect to have one room blooming as the other is growing. from my calculation with each sponge being 1.6 meters and me having 7 plants per sponge and overall there are 36 sponges which gives me a total of 250 plants per room. for my lighting system..you must have seen the glass tube used inside the vertical ecosystems, im going to use 1 glass tube in each room. each glass tube will consist of two 600w hps bulbs. so each room will have 250 plants, 500 plants between the two rooms.

my questions-

1) will 2 600w hps bulbs be sufficient for 250 plants? if not how many do you think are needed.

2)What kind of yield do you think i will get from each room?

3)What type of plant will get the highest yield in sog? ive been told white widow.

Well, I'm no expert, but I am in the middle of my flowering phase of my first grow, and here is what I have learned about sizing:

These plants get BIG. Even if you start from mature clones, your plants will get at least .5 meter wide and 1 meter tall, depending on strain. I can't see any way you would be able to fit 50 plants in the space you are talking about let alone 500. But that's just my opinion from what I have seen so far.

So, take into account the size your plants will get when mature when determining how many you want to start out with.

Good luck!!

1. if they are 2 week old seedlings... 250 plants requires like...a basement.lol need more than 1200 watts. i dont care if you flower them while they are rooting...

2.unless your selling, yield shouldnt matter. and even then, its an impossible question.

3.you cant just buy the highest yielding strain, there isnt one. its all in the hands of the grower.

I think your referring to a stadium set up?
your medium {I'm not familiar with Rockwell sponges, are you referring to rockwool? looks like green fiberglass?}
This is gonna go up 2 or 3 walls and across the floor?
Plants stick out at 90 degrees to wall?
