Pushing my 4x4 tent to the max with Sea of Green method. Will it work?

Sup guys, been a minute since I've posted something on here. Just wondering if icould get your opinion on this little plan I had cooking in my head for some time. im now ready to go all the way but it's a bit of a risk cause I'm spending the last bit of money I have.
Anyway, I have a 4x4x7 tent in the middle room. Thinking of doing a Sea of Green with two strains. The closet will be the drying room and I will buy another tent for the mothers and clones.
I'm planning on putting "30" plants in the 4x4 tent divided into 3 sections of 10.
Every 21 days (3 weeks) I plan to harvest 10 plants each being at least 1oz standing 1 foot tall. 5 will be 1 strain and the other 5 will be another.
Here's a picture of the flow chart I created.

I'm guessing autos based off you previously posted thread. (Cloning off an auto isn't a good idea, anyways, and the mammas won't keep.)

I got to be honest, I truely think you should think about one plant, and Veg the fuq out of her (Scrog style), with a non-auto, but only if you want yield. Although, SOG would surely be a learning experience for you, Scrog would be a bigger yield, factoring in your experience and budget. Although it can be done, one 4×4 tent isn't a big enough space for a continuous grow, with 30 plants.

If you're doing sog you're better off stacking every 6" and doing 64 in that 4x4 and pulling 1/4-3/4oz per depending on strain and veg time.

Not gonna work very well. Perputaul on one tray is a bad idea. Hard to give nutrients to the needs of each set and strain. Horrible canopy management because it will be lopsided at all times.
I never said I will be working with one tray. I will have a mother/clone tent. In about 10 11 days (usually for me) roots will emerge. Then they will stay with they mom's for 10 more days. Then they'll be put in my preflower tent under 12/12.
And honestly that nutrient thing won't be a problem.

Thanks, but I think

Thats too many for me. I try and give each plant my undivided attention. What do you mean when you say 1/4-3/4oz?

No not with autos. I'm starting off with northern light and blue cheese. And I said I will get another tent for my mother's and clones. I need a quick constant supply. One plant won't do it for me. It will take forever to veg her.

Per plant. So 1-3 lbs in that space, ime 4 lbs is about the max you can get out of a 4x4 tent, but 2-3 is much more likely in most cases.

2x2x7=1lb when fighting of light with siblings? I'll need pictures to believe it.
I was talking 4x4x7

We were pulling 3-4.5 lbs per 1000 here and they were each covering a 4x5 area.

I still don't see it, but that's ok...
That's ok. Lol the plants in this bucket take up about 16" X 28" at the canopy and will do pretty decently also, no less than a half, probably a good deal more, still got some time left flowering.

In SOG (single cola) the masters with the perfect strain and environment have yielded 2.5-2.8lbs per 1000w, 3-4.5 per 1000w is unheard of. Strain, environment and light penetration is key. Only one strain for an even canopy and diet, and clones must also be even in size and root at the same time since every 45-60 days you will harvest and rotate new clones in. With this type of grow you need extreme light penetration, a 3x3 area should have 1000w of light for 111 watts per square foot, only thing better than 111w/sf is 125w/sf. Any less light and the cola sticks will not fill out at the bottom, light intensity is key. To have this much light penetration the light needs to be 15" to 18' from the canopy which requires the perfect temperature and cooling of the light, a low stress environment with CO2. Depending on strain clones should be flowered from 5-8 inches and finish at 20-24 inches for optimal yield. Any taller and the buds will not be as full or solid.

I think you would be much better off doing a scrog with 4 plants. Veg the crap out if it, trim and train it maybe even main line them. If you have a 1000w hps you can pull some good yields. Feedings/waterings and canopy management will be much easier. Dealing with so many different strains and flowering stages will quickly become a lot to deal with and keep track of. KISS is always a good rule to follow. I have the same size tent as you and will be getting a 600w hps, thinking on doing scrog once i find the strains i like and grow well.

3-4.5 lbs per 1000. lol.
Per 4x5 Area, we definitely had some light overlap on the 4x20 rows with 4 1000s per row. Also not sog but we were pulling 10-22 per bed so average a little over ~3.5 per 1000 I think. Running a huge yielding blue dream, but 3 lbs off a 1k with strain and system locked in is not super hard to do...

I usually pull 2-2.4 off my 600s. I'm sure I've posted pics off some of the houses/rooms I've run since I've been on this forum. I'll try to find pics of the 12x12 bed I was running with 3 X 600s on light movers we got over 10 lbs from. Im pretty sure most people don't do it but 10 lbs off 1800 watts is pretty sweet too. Not a practical way to run a room, but a fun experiment.
