4x4 tray... you need to start with known females in a tray like that unless you are gouing to containerize your media and thus be able to remove males without damaginv the roots of the other palnts.... your hydroton bed is uneccessary.. individual pots/ blocks that can be moved around are IMHO the only way to go if you are dealing with unsexed plants.
But if you werre starting with female clones I would stick either 9 or 16 plants in that space depending upon the size they are going to be when you switch the lights to 12-12

chears stinky,,

its is good advise, what if i buy fem seeds will thay b
guaranteed females, or do males slip through the net ??

[stinkyattic]

Fem seeds are 99+% female because they are XX female x XX Female... there is no XY male there to give the Y chromosome that determines male sex... you can still have environmental problems but they should all be female for ya.

thaks stinkyattic,,,,,,
iv been reading some of your posts and excuse my french
but you no your shit, and i take your advice seriously
your a star,,
i want to do some in flud and drain
and some in soil, but the onley thing is growing in soil
puts me off a bit is because if i use pete im not sure when
to feed them, because pete has all ready got food in it
iv been reading if you use 33% pete moss 33% per light
and 33% vermickerlight, you carnt over warter them because
the dranage is very good and there is no food in eny of this
is this ture !!!!!!
