how many plants is optimal in a 4x4 tent with 600 watt hps
Gonna be first real grow so right hands might not be accurate. Lol. Also still putting tent together. Would you recommend hps or led? Also what brand?
I'm going to change my answer above. Since the OP is interested in yield only, I'd try 9 plants in 5 gal pots with a 12/12, no mercy grow. Hopefully that's 3-4 harvests per year (depending on strains) and 3-4 lbs. annually out of that 4'x4'.
Not to mention, with more plants you can run a wider variety of strains = more fun!
I would go with one.. LST it, super crop it, then throw her in the SCROG. You'll get more off the one plant then 3 or 4 smaller ones probably. You'll use less nutes which in-turn saves $. Plus one 600 watt hps will do amazing for just one plant. It will help the budz get big. Less defiantly can be more in the right hands
Wow never heard of this method before!
Yep! DrZiggy blew the yield numbers away with his bloom-from-seed grows in small pots. I have a 4x4 with square 15" pots, and I can squeeze 9 in there, but you can't do it with round pots that big.
Biggest yield will be fastest bloom, in smaller pots, 3 gallons or less. The key is how much time it takes. You can get almost two harvests in the time it would take to grow up one big plant.
And 3-4 pounds annually out of a 4x4 is on the low side. My first year, under a 600 hps, I did 4.5 pounds from 6-7 plants in the room at a time. Ah ... but I'm perpetual, so that doesn't count 60+ days for the first veg. Still, 4 pounds is easy - even more from a bloom-from-seed grow.
