I have a 4'by8' space with two 1000w hps. I plan on doing soil and need to know how many 2.5 gall pots I could put in the space. P.E.A.C.E

Well the simple answer is "How big are the pots in diameter?". Then its just a matter of simple math. I have seen containers that were tall and skinny and ones that were short and fat (like me) - both the same volume...

Just put empty pots in the space until it's full. Figure on 4/5 feet tall. And you will need a block of ice to cool it all!

The bottom of the pots are 7" and the tops are 9.5"

[m.g.]

so there ya go...now start dividing numbers! or just do as most single pot growers do and figure your area for 1 plant/sq ft...

Shit, you have lots of light, so why not use 5-gallon pots and grow some big mamas? I used 2-gallon pots once, and the plants were relatively puny compared to the plants that grew out of 4-gallon pots -- half the size, maybe even a third the size. Large root mass = big plants = lotsa bud.

I'd try 12 big plants (4- or 5-gallon pots). If you're stuck on the smaller pots, then I'd try 18-ish and see how it goes, then adjust as necessary for next time.

I've been contemplating on 15 5 gallon or filling the space with the 2.5 gallon buckets. I just wanna get a fast massive yeild with out as much maintenance as hydro. Its crazy hot where my space is.

Hey image reaper. Is that the green cross logo in cali?

[Jdog7000]

I like that logo.
I'd go with the Sea of green ,you'll yield more.
ussually people run 20 plants per 1000 watt light.
Depending on the size of them.
