Hello my friends.
I'm thinking of starting a grow which would yield 200 g a month. I have a full spare room to use for my growing. How would you experienced guys do this using the least plants and least area possible. Thanks in advance..

So you are looking for a bit over 7 oz's a month. You would want 1 flowering room. 1 veg room amd possibly a cloning or mom cab. Kinda depends on how big your spare room is.
You would want to go perpetual so you have meds comming off every 4 weeks or so. First plants go into flower, 12/12 while others are vegging up to size in the other room 18/4 or 24/0. You could keep moms and clones in the veg room/tent/cab if you go 24/0 lighting.
The idea is to have some flowering for about a month then put more in to flower. Then keep that up every month and you will have plants ready about every 4 weeks.
Depending on the strain and again size of rooms and the plants, 7 to 8 ounces every 4 weeks is easy as pie.
You should be able to get 2 oz per plant if you veg them a bit. For low plant numbers...veg longer. Bigger plant = more yield. This run I went with 1 huge plant about 4.5 feet wide. Just vegged for longer and my yield should be close to 10 oz's. I am doing a perpetual as well. Here is my current grow diary if you want to look. I am doing it with 1 4.5' by 5.5' room and a decent sized cab.

Thank you very much for your answer.. I have already homebox s which i'm thinking of using as a mom/clone/veg room. Do you think that would be enough for that? And what kind of tent would you recommend for flowering. Is 600w hps enough for 200g a month or should I buy another one. I'm definitly gonna check your grow diary when i get to home from work

Size of your tent/room will be a factor as well as the ability to remove the heat from the light. Go for about 50 watts per square foot and you should have about the right amount of light. I would use a air cooled hood. Not sure of the type of settup you want. Sealed or in and out vents. Sealed room of course you are going to need alot more equipment. ac, dehumidifier, co2, etc. I go with in and out fans or not sealed. I have no experience with tents so I can give no reccomendation.
I use my cab for all things right now but its tight. Clones. moms and vegging. I am in the process of building a second cab just for vegging so I can get them bigger and have more room.
Its really up to you and how you want to set it up. Getting your room environment correct is very important. You do not want to battle with your room not keeping temps right or not good air exchange. Many growing problems can be eliminated by a quality room to start with.

Hey man, if you want to run a 600, I would go vertical and just do a little weed donut around it. Put one side into flower and then 4 weeks later do the other side, or diff times depending on flowering times.

You will most likely be able to get more than your 200gs once everything is dialed in.

Let me know if you want anymore advice.
