best number of plants for 600 watts

[summitoker]

I have a 4x4x7 space. 600 HPS. At my disposale are 50 White Label feminized NL seeds. What would be the optimum number of plants to grow in that area. 5 grows of 10 plants or? I just cant figure out what size of pots /how tall to shoot/ how many each run. Would 3 gallon bags be good?

Not being there makes coming up with a Best # kinda tough ... You could roll with 4 trees or 16 small uns and anywhere between. I know people that would pack 25 in there and 1 crazy dude who would tell you to Deep Veg something and do 1 Huge plant. It really is dependent on what you are capable of handling.

I have a very similar situation (4x4x6), and i have 8 plants. i think that is too much now because i veg for 1 month. my canope has filled compleatly. in this set up

---- 0 0 0
----- 0 0
---- 0 0 0

the 0's are pots for the plants. take a look. i have LST'ed a lot so there is going to be a great canope of buds.

this pic is around the last day of veg.

Thanks for the replies. Zorkieo You gave me a good idea of what to do. Is that hydro or soil, if soil how big are your pots? Im gonna try 10 first round and see how that does without topping.

three gallon bags might be a smidge big for 4x4 space and ten plants... i dont know though, just remember to start flowering them before they totally fill out the place.

what do you guys think is the best # of plants for 1000watter in a 5x5 space, im thinking 2 gal grow bags and 25 plants

i started in 3 gal pots, and moved into 5 gal a week before flowering. i use fox farms soil and flora nova drain to waste nutes.

dude in a 5x5 that means one per square foot. i would recomend a slightly longer veg time with some LST or pruning and bigger buckets. like 3 gal. if your conditions are good, you can get a lot of bud out of a 3 gal container. its really hard to inspect and water plants when you get them so packed. even with hydro, inspection will be a bitch. just my 2 cents
