Space constrained

[turksteelman]

Closet 4'x4'x10' tall. 1 400wHPS with fan sucking air into the attic. Have 10 Lady Liberty seeds. Have always grown Indica so I can keep them short. Lady Liberty is a Sativa and I cannot find out any of its characteristics other than its a cannabis cup winner in the past 5 years or so. How many plants can healthily live in these space constraints?

well you have roughly 16 square feet to work with. You could start and finish all 10 ladies if you wanted. I am guessing that the 400 watter only puts out around 50,000 lumens. 3125 lumens per square foot. Little low but will work.

to answer your question. You could plant 1 plant per square foot or 1 plant per square meter. depdning on how you want to grow. if these aren't fem seeds then i would do all ten because fall out rate is what around 50% or so. personally i would grow all 10. i like the 1 plant per square foot. always workd well for me.

or to be safe only do 5 at a time. but all 10 would fit just fine.

10 it is. This should be an adventure. Never played with Sativas before.

By the way, what size of a fan would someone need for an area 4x4x10? Was looking at the can fan but not sure of the size needed.

I'd suggest a ScrOG, I am doing one right now and it has really maximized my square footage, as well as evened out my canopy for even light distrobution, which you're going to need with only 400W. It's also just a single plant which is pretty easy to maintain. Pretty easy and its kinda fun to watch it grow through the screen! :thumbsup:
