each overhead fixture can cover a 3' x 4' area. This will leave room for aisles. In each of these two spots you can place (12) 5 gallon pails, maximum. That's (24) total pails.
SOG would be gone with smaller vessels like one or two gallon brow bags or buckets, lots more plants stuffed into the area. SCROG is a good management system but it does nail the plants in place. I would suggest trying SCROG at a later grow when you have some of the initial FAQs answered.
Shovelhandle Reviewed by Shovelhandle on . Which grow method should I use? I will be growing in a grow tent that is 8' long x 4' wide and 7' tall. There will be two 8 light T5's on the top, all four walls will have 4ft dual light florescent light fixtures on them one low one medium height on the 4 ft walls and the 8 ft walls will have 2 low and 2 medium high. My question for those of you with experience is what dispersal method do I use? SoG? SCRoG? and how many plants can I reasonably fit in there using 5 gal pots? Rating: 5
