Should I add more plants? (PICS)

[wassup]

Hey guys, I've been lurking on the forum for a while but never posted and need you guys to help me a little.

First of all, I've always been a fan of hydro (ebb-n-flow), wich I had success with for a couple of years but I lost 2 crops in a row due to some stupid timers.

I decided to change my growing method to get a bit of flexibility, that's why I choosed soil as my new growing medium. I'm growing skunk clones btw. I always used tree 4'x8' ebb'n flow tables, I'm not familiar with dirt so I'm a bit lost on how many plants should I keep.

-The room is 11'x11'
-6 x 1000W Sun agrow HPS
-lamps are in 8" cooltubes taking air from outside and trowing it outside with 10" inline fan (no smell ouside)
-I also have a 6" fan trowing air outside linked to a can filter and a thermostat
-I planted the clones 14 days ago and they grow very well (more than 1" a day since a few days)
-I use General Hydro Flora nova with some supps like cannazim, power pack etc.


Now the question: I have 80 clones that are transplanted into 10" pots and I also have 40 more sitting in smaller 4" pots waiting to be transplanted. I still have a litle bit of space left to space them a little but I could also add more plants. Should I keep 80 or go for 120???

Plants are in flowering mode since yesterday (12/12) so if I want to transplant it's now or never...
What do you guys think?

thats a whole bunch of plants

If u got the space, the more the merrier.

but if I load the place with plants, only the top of the plant will get enough light isn't it?

im curious how much u spent on that operation?

personally grow those, and do more in 2-3 months after u harvest and then you'll know how many u can really put in there without sacrificing yeild. u may eventually pull the weak or stunted and come off with just enough room, but stinky is the person to really tell you.

please though, tell me what you spent?

[Revanche21]

wow... thats a lot of plants.

how much I spent for the room? I'd say about 5K$ for all the stuff. Also electricity is cheap here. :smokin:

I'm still not sure about what I should do

keep what u have.

[medigrower]

i am not sure on how that strain goes but i say... not to add any more, trim lower growth and make sure u have access to the whole room from maybe a different angle because i bet in 2 weeks it will be pretty thick. good luck, throw in a drip system makes life very easy.

thanks Stoned and Medigrower for the input!

I think you're right about keeping only 80 plants. I just watered them and it wasn't easy so I can't imagine trying to walk in the room with 120! Also I'm still not familiar with that skunk genetic, I don't even know what kind of skunk it is so it's hard to say if they stretch a lot during flowering. I saw the results of my friend's place and it didn't smell like the skunk of the good old days. More like a Lemon skunk, but again, I'm no strain expert

I'll also look up to the drip system, but maybe for next crop as I'm still a novice with soil.
