Help with setting up new room

[StudentGrower]

I'm planning on putting in at least 13 plants into my closet of 20 sq. ft. I will use a 600 hps, what will be the best method of growing (sog, lrt, long/short veg. periods, etc...) to maximize the yield given that I will only be using 600 watts. Thanks.

Scrog.

Lots of work but worth it in a small space.

Soil or hydro?...

I would veg for a short period of time...I'd start flowering once the plant vegged to ~4-5 nodes. This way your plant should top out at 3-3.5ft. Go ahead and drill a few holes around the rim of your buckets so you can tie down stems once they get bushy, this way you can maximize yields in small spaces. With that many plants and a 600 be sure to rotate them occasionally so all sides are exposed to the light.

Personally I think ~6-7 females would be perfect for the 600 (VERY good light imo), so if half of those 13 turn out to be males you should be sitting pretty. Best of luck!

Soil. I'm using clones so that isn't an issue, they are guranteed females and the vertical limit is 10 ft so vertical space isn't an issue.
