 | Ok I have posted here ealierbut no one posted anything. My grow box is 1 1/2' high, 1 1/2' wide, and 3 1/2' Long. I have a 70w HPS and a 55w Plant Light. I have a 6"x6"x18" Tray pot, and 3 6" pots. Right now I have one plant in one of the 6" pots, she's about 1 1/4" tall. I almost lost her due to lack of water... I came home and she was totally on her side, she is slowly recovering now. I have 3 new sprouts in the tray, and 3 new sprouts in another 6" pot. I'm gonna pick of the 3 that I think will grow the best and put them each in a 6" pot and dump the rest. I am planning to go with scrog. Due to my space limitations I am trying to figure out how high to put my screen... My HPS takes about 4" of space on the top. I have 5" of soil in all my pots. so that leaves 11" from soil to light. I heard that I need to put my screen 3 or 4" away from the light. Is this true? If it is I would end up with 7 or 8" of grow space is this enough? Any comments and suggestions would be great. Thanks, HeadCrash | ||

| Hey HeadCrash....I was hopin' maybe someone else would have alternatives for ya.  You want to put the screen about 6-8" above your planting medium. This gives room for your plant to branch and for you to get your hands in there to work with them. I still say that you don't have enough headroom. I have been trying to think of a different way to do it...no luck...yet  cy  | ||

Sorry bud...but no, I don't think so. Even with intensive training and and a screen.....4" just isn't enough room to get any kind of decent harvest. The plants would just have absolutely no room to grow anywhere. The best I can offer is a SOG or ScROG. Even using those methods...you STILL dont have enough room. cy | ||

| Here is an idea...stand your box up vertically. So it is 3 1/2 ft tall. If it is 1.5 by 1.5 that is 3 sq.ft. That would give you enough sq. ft. to do 3 plants in the SOG method. Don't forget to vent. | ||
