I am not sure what you are reading, but in SOG, like I said 2 to 4 plants per SQF, if you veg for1 to 2 weeks you would see why, you would have these small plants in a big 3 gallon pot and wonder why you didn't put more plants under that light. Also, a larger plant can take up at least 2 SQF easily. You could veg 30 to 40 out for 3 weeks under 1 lamp. The Tricky part is getting pots that fit the FT print under your lamp, but since in veg they will do all right with lower lumen contact you could probably shove about30 to 40 under a 1K light and use 2 liter or half gallon pots if you can find some.
Also, that 70 CFM fan won't do squat to clear the smell and cycle the air in your room. On 2 1000W's you will need a fan that is 500CFM or more. I am not sure if you have ever been in a room with a 1K light, but you are going to have allot of heat coming from the lights, I mean a very significant amount and you will most likely need air cooled hoods which means hoods that have a glass covering the bottom of the hood with a dryer vent attached to the top or side of the hood pulling out the heat from your light with your fans and blowing it into another room or you will need cool tubes which you can read about in the FAQ or you will need a AC unit that is dedicated to that room, or have all of the AC vents in the house shut so that the grow room is the only room receiving the AC. I am not sure if you bargained for all of this, but you want to figure out as much as you can before you start the ball rolling.
I think a 3 week veg time will be good enough for you to get an idea of how these strains will do with more or less veg time. The first grow is more of a learning experience than anything most of the time weather you want it to be or not, you can only guess so much before the grow and people can only tell you so much, but when it comes down to it, it will all depend on your willingness to work with your plants, provide a stress free growing environment and the willingness to really become a grower because if you are just seeing dollar signs you will become very discouraged when you find out that this can take allot of work, more work than many normal 9 to 5's where you can cruze the net, gossip with co workers and slack off and still get a check. There is no slacking here if you want to do it right and your plants don't like being put off, they need certain things and if they don't get it, you don't get their fruits.

BlueBear Reviewed by BlueBear on . Hey Guys... New To the Forum, Would Love a little Help! Starting my first grow indoors shortly. I am doing a 2000 watt grow, in a 9X11.5 room. The 9X11.5 does not include the closet which will be used as a mother. I have a few quick questions. a.) How much space should I assume each plant will take up when full grown? I have read 1 sqaure foot, as we right on that one? That would be 20 square feet per 1000 watt lamp, for a total of forty plants... correct? b.) I purchased some mylar-like material and I am going to hang it tonight. It is Rating: 5
