High everyone,
This is my first post. I am hoping to start my first SOG grow very soon. I just am in the planning phase at the moment. I am hoping that if I tell you guys what I want to acheive, you might be able to tell me the best way to go about it.
I want to use a flood and drain system for a SOG. I'm thinking of using a 4x4ft table. From what I understand, I could have 16 plants flowering in there (1 plant per square foot)?? Would one 400w HPS be enough for that small space, or would a 600w be needed??
Roughly how much would I yield from my 16 plants? Is it right that the plant will yield about 50% of it's normal wight? I will have 16 more clones veging, ready to start after the initial harvest to keep a constant supply going.
Also, a quick question about ventilation and heat. I will be building a small grow room in my attic (i dont have a basement or spare bedroom). My concern is that if I vent the hot air from my grow room into the open attic outside, will the attic become too hot (thermal imaging etc)?? I can't find a chimney or dryer vent so I'm not sure how best to vent the hot air out of the attic. I will obviously vent the air from the grow room, but will I need to find another way of expelling it from the attic? My hope is that the heat wont be significant enough to warrane any action. Will this be neccesary or am I just being paranoid?
All thoughts welcome.
Thanks
