First I would like to say "hello" to all as I'm new to this forum...

Right down to business,

I have a growroom and I'm planning on using 1.5 x 1.5m (2.25m2) to do an experimental 12/12 grow... I gained my inspiration from reading Del's 12/12 thread.

Soil (Biobizz allmix)

15 cm (4.5l) pots

4 x apollo 12 led (approx 2000w with 1600w actual draw)

temp 26 day 20 night

dehumidifier to adjust humidity accordingly

Biobizz nutes

extraction system

fans for air circulation

strains will be high yielders that dont grow too high under 12/12 like northern lights, grapefruit, ultra skunk etc... basically cola's on sticks!!

My plan is to utilise the space by using 100, 15cm pots. they will fit perfectly into 2.25m2. The aim is to grow small plants with virtually no side branches and an extremely high bud to leaf ratio... like i said before, cola's on sticks.

I am interested on peoples opinions on whether 0.5 - 1oz per plant is a realistic yield. I am only interested in peoples opinions that have grown 12/12 before or grown many plants in small area... I appreciate the average grower may think I'm mad for even suggesting this!

I do not need any comments like "do you know how much work that will be?", "why don't you grow 25 in the same space instead of the 100?" or anything along those lines as I have a certain amount of growing experience and quite a good knowledge. I know it will be hard work!! And like I have said before, its just an experiment. (A pretty interesting one at that I think!).

I am only using soill as the grow medium as thats where my experience lies... I may change to coco if the general concenus is that I will get better results. My growroom will have optimal conditions and be more than saturated with light!! I shall also be giving the ladies the time and attention they deserve. I would also like to add that feeding/watering will not be a problem as they are on specially designed trays I can move about.

I appreciate any feedback or advice from those "in the know..."

Thankyou for your time in reading this thread... If I decide to go ahead with this I may document it on this forum if anybody is interested.

What you want to do is called a SOG, the Sea of Green. It's a technique that allows 2-3 extra harvest per year bacause you have no vegetative growth to delay harvests. Obviously the disadvatage is you dont yield as much as a plant with vegetative growth. I seriously doubt it is that much more efficient to SOG on the scale you're talking about than any other method that wont carry excessive penalties for plant numbers.

I would have those plants in a large tray or something so you can bottom water, rather than individually watering each small planter.

I'll go out on a limb here (not) and tell you there is no way you'll yield 14 grams a plant in a SOG, no matter what you're flowering with. Not sure even the sun could do that.

But good luck with everything. I hope you make your goals. :)
