Hello Growers,Advice Appreciated

Hey everyone i've waited a week and finally im allowed to post!Current situation is 1 x 600w in the corner of a room with 8 plants in 1.5litre pots all grown from seeds ice cream(fem paradise seeds) and dutchmens royal orange.Im currently in my second week of flowering my purpose from this grow (apart from the obvious!)is to end up with 1 of the best mothers of each variety, i took clones of the bottom branches of each type except one!(i ran out of peat pellets so ill reveg her if she happens to be the one so to speak!). All plants are looking good
(pics to come, im an idiot when it comes to the upload, my missus will hold my hand through it when she gets home!).Im using biobizz allmix, biogrow/bloom/topmax and Bioheaven all to the bio bizz feeding schedule!
I am building a box which will go to a different location, dimensions:Width.80cmLength,100cm,Height.140cm!
I plan to install 2 x 600w air cooled lights,an intake fan at the bottom of the box which will draw in fresh air from a bedroom, there will also be an exhaust fan drawing the air out of the box to the outside, this will go through a carbon filter before hitting outside, i will also get an extractor plus filter for the lights, i will draw the air for that from outside and vent the filtered air out of the box into the room its in!
I want to grow in this box with soil and in the nutrients that ive listed above from plant/clones that im judging as they progress to flower.
So expert soil growers my height is obviously restricted 140cm even with air cooled hoods i want to know the best way i can yield the most out of this box be it soil sea of green etc etc.Ive no experience in scrog /lst or supercropping.
What would you suggest experts, if this wonderful forum didnt exist i would probably pack as many square 1.5 litre pots with rooted cuttings vegged for 2
weeks as i could and then 12/12 it until they were done with more cuttings rooted and vegged in the wings waiting to be put in to flower.HELP PLEASE i want to know how to yield as much as i should be(0.75G/WATT!)
Hope it wasn't toooo boring guys and girls but i sure would appreciate the advice.With Respect,Reign In Bud.x :rasta:

To really have your plants giving you the best yelds, you will have to give time a chance!
Time will give you the experience!
You will get to know better your strains and adapt techniques to you space...
Suddenly you will be surprising yourself!
So... just grow it my friend! Good luck! :D

Well reign, i dont even have a balance.
My main purpose was simply try to have weed for my needs without having to deppend on dealers. It was accomplished! :D

I have done a deeper reading of your first entusiastic output.
1.5L pots is what i use for first 2 week after germination... your just limiting them!
Your space will be really nice for just 1 600W.
Beware the REAL heat management 2 600Watters will ned in that "small" space!

1.40m hight limitation means:
20cm cool tube system
20cm distance from tops (can vary a lot and in the sideways) (im beiing positive for a 600)
20cm mim for soil stage

That leaves us with ~80cm usable... Good!
9 plants would be a good usage of your space... Just triger them to 12/12 when they are at ~30cm hight...

The 2 600W tend to make me think SOG! LOL
Anyway i would rather go for a 1000 than for 2 600 in that square space.
In a rectangular space it would make scence to cover it better, but in a square one id rather simply elevate the luminosity (lumens).

Good luck!

Cheers Frankenstein, thats good advice, the box will actually be more of a rectangle than a square, so think 2x600w air cooled with all the exhaust power/intake power necessary.
Is there a good link for soil sog that you know of?
On my current number im watering everyday pretty much and im worried if i dont transplant i wont yield as much. I must also state for the record that i grow strictly to cut out the kak and fake skunk vendors that are scattered all over this great land. I smoke for many reasons, but my main theory is the PG TIPS theory and that is,"It's The Taste!!"I prefer something that taste delicious rather than just get you high, after all it tastes good its more than likely it will make you feel good to,thanks for listening and all advice is appreciated.
With Respect (esp Frank!). Reign In Bud. :rasta: x
