How many plants can i grow in a 2ft x2ft x 6ft space

[smokeyjoe11]

Hello people :thumbsup: long time smoker, first time grower.
I recently moved into a new apartment to find a built in cupboard where the water boiler used to be, first thing that come into my head was " I can get a grow on in here" :D

This built in cupboard is 2ft x 2ft x 6ft.
What is the maximum I can realistically look at growing in there? I was tinking of getting some of Big Bud seeds. :cool::smokin:

Any info would be hugely appreciated, I'm virgin to all this, I want to get it right and it could become a bit of a hobby because the bud in my neighbourhood is shocking, both in price and quality. :hippy::hippy: Smoke on. :hippy::hippy::rastasmoke:

split the 2x2x6 into 2x2x3...x2...grow 2 good plants,2x2x6...grow 1 real good plant...anything more is a pain in the ass...you can maximize yield with less plants taking up space...:thumbsup:

nice one bro!! :jointsmile::thumbsup:

think i'll give 3 a bash then to start off with.

1x 600 watt bulb enough? at what age do they start smelling at, do you need a filter for just 3 plants or is the smell not that bad? there are apartments above and below.

Can not wait to get started, just painted the inside white. :D:D:D:rasta:
Yup, exactly the same here too, pricey and wet. :mad:

I was going to suggest 4 (if by Sea of Green) but I see this has been addressed by others. Your decision should be about best results rather than how many plants.

I personally would use the Screen of Green in this small a space and grow only 1 plant (I have had great success doing this exact thing). This is primarily due to the limited hieght involved. However scrog can be labor intensive and does have a bit of a learning curve so if this is your first grow you may want to try Sea of Green on this one.

Either way the use of haircuts will be necessary for best results in a small space (light penetration issues). Good luck and welcome to the addiction of grow your own.

BTW 600w is huge for this 4sqft area so watch out for heat buildup issues. Ventilation can be critical with regard to controlling heat. I have used 250w HPS with good results in this small an area so maybe 400w would be a reasonable comprimise if you used a cool tube. 50 watts per sqft (HID) is a primitive but widely used measure of how much light to use.

600w more than enough..

Six plants with 2 48" T5s with at least 6 lamps. For biggies, and for little clones you could possibly fit 100. :lol5:
