i have a 1000 watt hps light and my room s is 7 by 10 how many plants can i grow

i've always heard you could plant more plants and just not flower them as long and get the same amount of yield

or should i plant ten and just let them flower longer

thanks

Metric or imperial?
You don't cut down on the flowering time ever, you cut down on the veg time.

You could do about 15 and still get good light coverage to them all in both stges of growth.

never grown that strain, sorry.

6 weeks AFTER the fifth alternating node shows up if you're in soil. 4 weeks if hydro. just depends on how BIG you want them to be, i guess.

Plants need to be flowered the same amount of time regardless of their size or age.. (plus or minus a few days). Strains very in the amount of flowering time they need. Some strains need 49 days.. other strains need 89 days.... : )

If you grow 2 - 10 plants, you will veg them 2-6 weeks... If you grow 10-30 plants, you will veg them 1-4 weeks. When you grow more plants, you generally don't grow them as big... NOT even close.. cause more plants requires A LOT ore LIGHT!

BUT if you are a first time grower, you should KNOW that plants require effort and time..

4-6 plants are much easier to take care of and will teach you a lot.. 15- 30 plants will require a lot MORE time.. making water, preparing nutrients, transplanting, staking plants, trimming, disposing of waste.. etc..

the list goes on and ON..
