Can someone with experience in SOG please tell me if this makes sense?

I am not sure about the distance between plants here. i put one plant every square foot, with a veg time of only 2 weeks including rooting (my clones root in under a week when in perfect conditions). Do they need a whole square foot if i veg for 2 weeks?

What do you think overall? any ideas?

I don't think you need 10 32watt floros for 20 clones, they don't take up much space.
depending on the strain you could get away with 8"x8" per plant and add another row and column with that 600w

I don't know cm that well so I'm just going to give you the sizes I would use in that set up for small-medium size plants.
6 plants per row and 6 per column, 8"x8" (20cmx20cm) each, that's 48"x48" (120cm x 120cm) or 4ft by 4ft (1.2m x 1.2m)which would do well under a 600w
You could go a little bigger on the plant spacing if you want bigger plants.

For the clones I would give 4"x4" (10cm x 10cm) space to each, and you could have them 5 per row and 4 per column, so that's 20"x16" (50cm x 40cm)
You could light that up with two to four 42w floros (1500 lumen each / 6000 total with four) which would give you 2700 lumen/sqft (30cm) which would be enough for clones.

Hope I got the metric right :)

I am going to go out on a limb and assume that you are flowering strait from clone. If you are doing this you could really get a ton of plants in there with proper manicuring. I would look at 6x6 pots. A table with a 48" (122cm) x 48" (122cm) I would do a 8 x 8 and have 64 little plants.

Ok. so i got everything i needed now... i think.

400 watt HPS

16 3.6 liter square pots

perlite and organic soil

BioBiz ferts

16 5-10 inch eager clones!

I am pretty sure the 400 watt HPS is enough for my 16 plant SOG... thing is, some of the clones are 5inches and some are 10 inches! That's more like waves than a SOG.

Should i just stick them in, or top the taller ones first?

i put my clones into solo cups :) havent had a problem..

i put a half inch layer of lava rocks and several small holes in the bottom of the cup, and then soil to a half inch from top.
