[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]hi everybody,
can someone please help me figure out how closely i should pack my plants in? they are all roughly 15"-18" tall and 30 days into flowering. i have 1000watt hps lights above. Ive kept my plants at 1 plant psf but i can see through the canopy and see some of the floor. is it too far apart? should i pack them in closer? ive read some people doing 4 psf and others 9 psf. i was told 1 psf is a good place to start. my plants dont seem to be stretching anymore so i guess they're as tall as theyre gonna get. I have about 64 plants under 4X10000watts and was wondering if im just wasting electricity not packing them in closer. there is space between them but when i bunch them up closer the leaves overlap and i was told that's a no-no, but i see lots of pictures of plants bunched together and they look beautiful.My plants are neither topped or trained or pruned in any way, as this is my first grow and a starting/reference point for future improvments. i was hoping to hit at least 0.5 gpw so i can start fine tuning my grow, but im afraid that 1 psf might ruin this goal completly. they are all in 8.5" round pots in promix hp.
thank you in advance
