I am ready to begin the next grow and I am interested in some of your opinions on optimizing my 4x4 table. I have two 4x4 tables and previously I had hung a digi 600w Lumatek over each table (one light per table). Now I have decided to hang both lights above one table and have bought a 4 light t-5 setup for the other 4x4 to veg (less down time, yay!). I am wondering how many G-13 clones I should grow on the table to get the best yield out of these "stretchy" plants. I am a "topper" and occasionally tie down. I really want to address the following:
Grow Bag size - Usually use 3 gallon but should I use a bigger bag and grow less plants or go go smaller and use more clones (clone supply not an issue)
Space per plant - I am considering using a SCROG but would prefer not to. Would 1 sq ft per plant (16 plants, right?) be optimum under my conditions?
By my math I have 75w per square foot (600w x 2/16 sq ft); this time I am also supplementing with Liquid Light (1st time trying). Do I have enough PAR or lumens/sq ft under my setup?
If I left you the supplies, clones, lights, how would you arrange the plants and how many to achieve the best results? FYI, I have had 8successful grows in soil and 1 hydro. I want to remain in soil, but can go soilless if it is the consensus that it would be the best way to go. Cant wait to see the responses!
