i think coco mat or not, with 30-60 plants in 8 square feet the roots are going to be tangled. If you cut the mat into 4x4 squares, the roots will still eventually be bigger than that, and wrap around each other. If you try it, I wouldn't mind seeing how it works out for you, but I think in the end you will have the same limitations as if you didn't cut the mat. If you're looking for a perpetual harvest type flowering room, you could always experiment with it and try cutting roots away, but once you get that thing going it's going to be hard to get in there with all the density.

30 plants in 8 square fee is pushing it. I hope you have a strain that grows very short and even plants.

good luck.
bud luv Reviewed by bud luv on . Coco Mat I am growing in a 2' x 4' tray with an ebb and flow set up. I am growing in 4" cubes and 4" x 4" x 2.5" blocks of rockwool. I am thinking of a few solutions for the issue of when the roots become big enough that they may be exposed to light. I am growing the plants shoulder to shoulder, and right now have about 30 plants with plans to increase to at least 60. My absolute priority is adaptability. I want to be able to move the plants easily. This is why I like the rockwool blocks. I Rating: 5
