how many plants for this space?

[KillerDemo]

I'm currently building my system and I was wondering. With a 600 watt HPS how many plants in a scrog could i get away with in A 72"H x 36"W x 24"D

six 5gal pots will fit perfectly... in a scrog-setup, figure from there ... :smokin:

I would go with 3 heavy yielding bushes. I would top them and prune the tips and fill the screen 75 to 80% and then flip them to 12-12 and try to pull at least a pound.
Maybe Jam has some thoughts on this too.

i thought the rule of thumb for scrog was 40% of the screen filled then u flip them to 12/12. if i waited for 80% filled wouldnt it overgrow my cab?

i got 8 in a closset alot like yours with a 600w hps. but 42" wide but only 42" tall to. and get a decint amount per plant still. but i dont scrog it. just LIT. and got a cool tube right down on the plants prety much.

Infact, to do it properly, you don't need any of the screen filled before 12/12, people still do it though, 40%-80%, if you want to, don't matter.

This is from one source on SCROG,
" Vegging: Here is where alot of people make
mistakes. They get in a fired up hurry and get
confused somehow. Flip their plants over to 12/12
way to soon and wonder why their screen never
filled up. At that point the screen is nothing
more than a support system for the plant. Normally
one would veg a plant till the screen is 70-80
percent full before switching over to the
flowering cycle. Having knowlege of how much your
strain stretches is helpful when determining when
to switch to flowering. For example: If one had a
very stretchy sativa. You would want to start
flowering her with much less of the screen filled.
Just the opposite for a nice stunted indica."
