Well i work construction so I am always traveling every 4-8 months. So my grow cabinet is a 3x3 7 feet tall. I have a 600 watt hps, and a 300cfm inline fan, and a 30lb co2 squirting 1300ppm. I usually pull 1 harvest and clean the cabinet till my next location. Last time i veged 6 w/w to 12 inches and got 5 ounces dry.. Im looking to around 16 ounces... So what should I do?

Should I SOG 30-40 small clones with the 600 watt and the reflector, veg to 8 inch and 12/12

Should I do a aeroponic setup with 10 6inch net cups and veg to 20 inches and flower bigger plants...

Should I hang the light vertically and do a sog on the floor and put shelves and do sog on the shelves as well. so 25 clones in soil on the ground and shelves 3 1/2 feet high and run about 20 more clones..

Im looking at the most i can yield out a 3x3x7. If you think i should upgrade to a 1000 watter let me no...]\


Strain is bid bud, and ppp. both good yielders and off of clones...

all fox farm..

how long was flower time for those ww, 60 days?

high plant numbers means more work, in my state it also means more time.

screen of green with about 6-9 plants you can yield 2-2.5 oz (if you are good)
per sq ft.
it is hands on for a week or so guiding the plants, aprox and 1-2hrs a day.
and then just admire every sq inch filled with colas for the next two months.

your stadium scenario would crush with the yeild though,

Yo Bra - in a 3 x 3 area - in my humble opinion... if cost were no object, a vertical setup would be the most efficient design for a 3 x 3 space with 7' ceilings. Having said that, it may be more complex than you want to go... The Coliseum was featured in a recent version of High Times, the smaller EcoSystem has also received lots of press... check this:

This is too big for your space, but the principal can be copied... search vertical growing on the internet for tons of info... there is a company that makes these killer vertical grow chambers that you hang on the wall (sorry can not find the link right now) - if money is no object, you could hang one of those on each wall of your 3 x 3 x 7 foot cube, hang two HPS lights vertically in the center of the room and harvest BIG time! Theoretically, if each vertical grow panel was 4' high, you would be working with 48 sq feet of grow area - or the equivalent of a 3 - 4 x 4 trays!!

Or, you could just do this:

An easier, and more affordable way to hit the pound mark you desire.

Good luck with your increased yields!

Well thanks for the replys. The white widow flowerd in 9 total weeks and got about a ounce per plant. Money isnt that much a option, growing is not expensive if you no how to construct everything your self. But law isnt a issue either, I dont have a card, ill get in trouble either way. And since I only have 12 or so total weeks, i can pull off 1 big harvest... SO any sugestions... Im looking at adding a 600 and doing 2 bake around glass tubes and cool both of the vertiacally and run about 60 clones....
