Will this work?

If we placed a plant every 6 inches (15 Centimetres/half a foot) apart, would this work? I dont see a problem with this, at all =)

Everyone is saying the rule of thumb is 1 plant per square foot. Sure, I dont disagree with this rule but if you're limited for space, want more yield and within lesser time then I believe this method will do just that. I mean if u follow the 1 p.p.s.f. rule then u're supposed to have only 6 plants, as opposed to having 15 plants in this setup. Which will give u more yield, the 15 plants or 6 plants setup? Even though the 6 plants will be able to grow bigger and yield more PER PLANT, it will also take longer to grow them bigger rather than a 2 month cycle--that includes 1 week vegg. and 7-8 weeks flowering.


I'm not sure though. I'm waiting for some clones to test it out. Any inputs??

WOULDN'T THIS BE THE SAME AS A SCROG?

But there is no training involved. The plants are planted and left to grow naturally. Surely the shaded areas caused by overlapping of leaves are taken care of by the 800watt of light which will be able to penetrate it.

Not the same as a SCROG, but a SOG and yes it wood work. In SOG set ups, they use up to 4 plants in 1SQF. Just don't veg for too long or they will start to fight each other for space. Flower them at about 6 to 8 inches for good results. Also, some people use those 12 x 12 milk crates and just put 4 plants in each one with a grow bag for the liner.

Good luck with that SOG man. Should work IMO. Post pics.

Hey BlueBear, come check out my thread. How are my plants looking to you. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks.
