New Mini-Grow Area

[Shovelhandle]

The 2'X4' 4 lamp T5 HO fixture just arrived (20,000 Lumens) This will be mounted horizontally on the wall.
A 2 lamp T-8 fixture with high reflective surface. (6,000 Lumens) This is the ceiling lamp, mounted slightly off center.
a 250 watt HPS (ballastless, 29,000 Lumens) also mounted centered on the other side of the ceiling.
The front and side walls are mylar. Ventilation is via tower fan.
The area is four feet across, four feet high and 16" Deep. I plan to bring 2 plants through budding. Not sure about cutting and/or cloning, depending on time schedules.

dude thats nice and all but you need to get those things out of there, like now.. they all need to have individual pots otherwise they arent going anywhere, do you realize how big these plants get, and thats 50.. if you were going to use that id say put two at the opposit ends, but you need to get those things out of there before there roots (prob too late) get into each other.. if not be prepared to lose all of em except maybe like 3 if your lucky..

looks nice though, individual pots though man.. cant believe no one else has said anything

Thanks, but yes I do know how to separate them. I have an abundance of seed so I start hundred+. I"ve halved them three times already. I have two 6 gal pails in which I will put three each (probably today or tomorrow. I just prepared the soil mix yesterday). In 3-6 weeks I'll put them into 12-12 and will eventually (hopefully) have one female plant in each pail.

The buds in the photo were grown from these trays too, actually I got over a dozen sucessful plants last grow. Actually, there are grow pics of the last pail plant. The others went "outdoors".

Thanks,

Earlier I was encouraged to give my plants their due space.

So I saved 4 into 2 pails for now

So, any more comments?
BTW, I decided early on not to use the HPS for the veg cycle. It seems to be doing ok without it and the temp is 74-80ºf. I will have to get more ventilation when I start bloom cycle and turn on the HPS.

Bubblegum 3 weeks.
The plan is to veg through the eighth week, Dec 30th.
I will remove two plants from each bucket this week.
Also, I'll likely crop at some point in early-mid Dec.

Here are the "stand-bys". They are doing fine for being cramped in that box and growing on the floor, in the shade of the buckets.

I havent seen anyone do them all like that and then 4 in a bucket, does that work out for you?
