6x6 would be a good start.. 4 plants,do a scrogg. The larger the space the easier it is to control heat issues.

4x4 8 plants =28oz dried i don't know if thats good or not as that is what it was for my first grow of crystal. ne1 know what a good yeild is for 1 1000w light setup in 4x4? i thought it was good but then u hear people/friends say aww thats nothing i did the same setup and got 5 lbs so u know how that goes

Thanks for the info....my room is 7x7 with all white walls and ceiling and even the floor is white ...8 plants gives me 1 lb of sticky good size buds but I feel that I should be doing better using a 1000 hps. So is my room way to big ????:smokin:

well i got almost 2 lbs on my first grow ie 28oz but i also fimmed 2 of them and i also veg'ed them till they were 3 1/2 ft tall b4 going 12/12 so i had close to 50 tops heres sum of what it looked like

If you get anything close to 2 lbs then you're doing great. If you get over 2 pounds you are a master gardener. It all depends on the strain and environment too. 4x4 is about perfect if you want monster sized buds.

The title says it all!

Porkbellies - you don't want to go less than 50 watts/ sq.ft. 4'x5' if you have a rectangular reflector; a little over 4'x4' if you have a square one. You don't necessarily have to completely enclose the grow area - a 4'x5' grow area in a 10'x10' room is fine - but the grow area/room does have to be completely light-proof.

THANKS ..maybe that is what i will try next time ...put 4x4 in my 7x7 room and see what happens. Thought i had to build a new room but by putting a 4x4 in a larger room just might work eh. Larger buds would be nice and what would be the right amount of plants in that 4x4 area 8??:smokin:
