New Live Intros Thread Maximum plants for 1 x 1000 HPS in SOG

Hard for me cause I smoke a ton. semi retired,self employed so wake and bake daily with heavy indica's. the 24 c hits hard at first then levels out for a good 90 minutes. It will couch lock you and make ya lazy. I'm looking forward to trying this Jammy Dodgers in a couple weeks. It is a small yielder so I run bigger strains til my stock is back up.

That's

That's why I bought the 24 carat & Strawberry Nuggets from Mitch. I like strong indicas buzz at end of day - sometimes even in the morning wake-n-bake! Mitch claims their 'Strawberry Nuggets' is 100% Pure Indica! What kind of a buzz did you get from their 24 Carat? Can you describe the effects in detail, if possible?

Where did you buy the 'Jammy Dodgers' beans, or are you a pollen chucker and made your own?

Personally i wouldnt attempt the large one time grow.
If it was me, id break it up into 3 doing 23 at a time.
16 under the 1000, 7 under the 400. Pack em together tight til about week 4 then spread em evenly out and
give em some space til the end.
I really think the sea of green thing is gonna turn into Wally's massive jungle.

Plus multiple runs will give you a chance to perfect things.

Thank you 'Stooby Snacks' for your input. It is the best advice I received so far, IMO, being new to AFs indoors. Greatly appreciated! I do not want a jungle & no SOG either; since your comments! Could I keep all 33 ladies under the 400 MH with 4' parabolic reflector, for the 1st 30 days? Or would you recommend the 600 HPS as a better choice during veg stage (assume 3 gal pots). Trying to keep electric bill low 1st 30 days, but want ladies to have best light quantity without overkill.

I just found an additional light I forgot I had (being mainly a outdoor photo grower in the past). It is 1 x 600 HPS. So I have total lights of: 1 x 1000 HPS, 1 x 600 HPS, and 1 x 400 MH - & want to use all 3 at same time, in the end, during . If I am extrapolating the math right, using algebra, the 600 could house 9.6 plants (or 10 rounded up), right? So total beans planted would be 16+7+10 = 33 ladies, right? Will the 33 ladies be a jungle in the end? See strains I have from Mephisto, at the beginning of the thread and recommend which ones under which lights, if possible. Thank you very much!!!!

Ive ran 36 in an 8 by 8 room plenty of times but never with less than 2400 watts spread out evenly.
My experience is with photos, but i know this herb... some of those strains will get decent sized and you want to give em as much space as possible while keeping in the zone of best intensity.
I would end up spacing about 1 foot between pots (24" centers). That will keep you in the sweet spot if you center the lights over them. In a line, something like 400, 1k, 600 with plants 4 wide going down the line 4,3,4,4,4,4,4,4,2.

So yea you could cram the 33, youve got the space. If you rotate them around you wont notice any growth difference feom the middle to the edges. Spin em around too

Maybe others can chime in about what to put where that have grown them. Or some info can be found just by searching or looking through the grow journals.
As a general rule i would try to semi group them together putting the larger, taller ones on the outside so they dont overshadow the rest.
