I flowered 13 females under a 400 watt HPS, my first grow.

but...I had a dark room near by, so I rotated half every 12 hours...for 60+ days

Dedication!!!

Want to get picky, depends on strain and method, SCROG vs SOG... hit the books!

I have a few grow logs here. Some were lost in a shuffle back a couple of years but still plenty of them in the grow log section. Just click on my name and check out 'all threads started by shovelhandle' to find them.

well.... those two are about the same thing but sea of green vs trees or bushes is a big difference. how big of a vessel, how long to veg is the key to what's what.

I'm going for a sea of green

sea of green under a single 400 watt
use roughly a 2' x 4' space, depending on your reflector footprint and pack in 12-15 two or three gallon grow bags.
keep them short, crop (or F.I.M.) the top at the third node and crop again right after they split.

If you use a large container like a 30+ gal smart pot one plant can grow a large enough root system to produce more than the small pots will. The trick is F I M'ing to get maximum bud sites and then training the plant so all the bud sites are in the sweet spot of light intensity, for maximum light exposure use 4 inx4in trellis. The down side is you get one strain the up is you get more product and a uniformed size buds.
