30x60 Greenhouse Layout

[fatalxerror]

I am thinking of going with 100x 45 gallon smart pots. What plant count and pot size would you use to maximize yield in a 30x60 area?

Forgot to mention unlimited plant count.

If plant limits aren't a factor, then hydro with light dep.

Thanks for the reply but I can only do soil at the moment.

I have used 45 gallon smart pots in my light deps that yielded roughly a pound per plant and they were about 4-5 ft tall on average. 65's or 100's sound like they might be perfect for you. 200's are what I consider the most efficient size, but might yield plants bigger than you want in your greenhouse.

I fit around 30 plants in my 12x50.

Thanks for the reply. Yes 200's I believe might be more than I can handle. What kind of spacing do you give your 45 gallons?

Thanks for the reply. What gallon size do you prefer?

what are your temps?i know people running in a greenhouse about that size and they have found that running 3 to 5 gal coco seems to work well with no plant numbers.They picked coco over soil due to pest management also they are on a drip feed multiple times per day

My outdoor temps are 70-80. Coco is a good idea I've been using Root Organics so far.

size of the pot plus 3 feet on all sides this gets you 6' in between each pot, after things fill in you will not be able to walk between the plants

leave 6' from walls and isles too

a 45 gallon smart pot of coco, will require 90-180 gallons of water a day, with no less than 4-6 waterings a day.

my 5 gallon hempy coco buckets use 8-12 gallons a day

You can do autos and do 3 gallon pots, with 1 plant per sqft. You'll easily fit a few hundred in there and have your first harvest in two months, then use that money to fund a big photo grow

after selling auto buds, he wouldnt have a customer base

I thought about autos but I dont like the earthy taste of the ruderalis. I am thinking of going with 100x 45 gallon pots. I am trying to yield 1lb off each. I am just trying to find out the best way to space them in a 30x60 greenhouse. Also maybe if I should adjust pot size or plant count to maximize yield of my space.
