What would YOU do with a 600 Watts HPS and a 3'x3' tent?

[Pig-Pen]

So I'm pretty set in my methods and after so many years it's feeling stale, and I'm maybe a little bored. In need of some grow room adventure I'm wanting to consider other methods, and this could be a fun thread -
so what would you do with a 600w HPS in a 3'x 3' tent for flowering?

The flowering tent is about 6' tall, the can filter and fan being mounted inside at the top of the tent and that can't change.

I do have a separate veg/mother tent.

The only real stipulation here is: Soil Only

Otherwise, anything goes, no matter how crazy, complicated or simple.

Sounds like the perfect candidate for a single plant scrog... I know that's not particularly new, or exciting, but it would make efficient use of a small space.
If you want something crazy, I suppose you could put the light on the floor, and hang those topsy-turvy tomato planters from the top.
That might be fun. Just don't spill water on the light...

I would grow.. haha

more important, what do you want to do. maybe it's time for a sabbatical , maybe it's time to quit.. you fill in the blank, it's your story



ok, not going to lie, first time using one of those smiley guys

I would look at getting a Blockbuster '6 reflector. Vented well in your space would work great! Or just just go vertical.

I would just use some Pro-mix. Keep it simple

Try a vertical SCROG with like 6 plants in smart pots that way all u need is trellis nets and go all 3 sides with 2 plants per wall.. I'd love to give vert a shot but I only have 2x2..
That way u have a bunch of new shit to read.. U already know the fundimentals of keeping bitches happy or try new strains not sure what u been running.. Maybe u just need a new flavor.. Somthing else to dial in..

 

[SunGrown]

Large kitty litter pan full of promix hp and one plant scrogg. A plant like green crack or blackberry would do pretty good in there, probably hit a unit pretty easy.

Whatever ya do, please show pics of her blowing up when she does. HTH

Cooltube down the middle-vert. then 4 ft or so plants, 2 to 4 of them tied to screens on the walls. you could get a plant per wall, lets say 3 widex4 high. so 12 sq st per wall x 4 48 sq ft.
Then train a spider monkey to tie em and keep them off the tube.
edit: soil only: ????????????

in a 3x3 a vert scrog....... good air movement... mono.....

for simplicity i would do a 3x3 flood and drain table with rockwool cubes and do a single cola dominant strain that stays low and easy to manage. you could realistically pack about 9 in there and just small veg time with a quick turn around time. AK, c99 stuff like that would own in a nice SOG like that. dont over veg and i bet you would come close to 3/4 GPW or so....more than enough to make any other 3x3 tent owners jealous

 

[Benjamin Check]

Sea of green, ebb and flow in rockwool/hydroton. You could pack in 18 6' square pots. I have 18 pots in a 36/x24.5x7 tub from Lowe's and it works great. A week of veg and some lollipopping and it should be a nice solid canopy, assuming one single cola dominant strain.

Vert that shit.

Drop the reflector and run netting around the inside of the tent for plany support.

I'll be doing this once the heat here dies down but with a 400w and coco.

Yea, why limit to 9 Sq ft When you could get 5-10x
The space?

Great idea! Why didn't I think of that?

Ever heard of "spacial constraints?"

 

[indianajones]

why not try a shared bed? IME a shared bed works really well and it may help you break the monotony of your grow cycle.

my only bit of advice with a shared bed-

monocrop it or use strains that have very similar structure/stretch habits.

 

[The Hummus Monk]

Modular Scrog.

4 plants. Each has separate scrog frame/screen that sits on pot.

Basically this means you can grow 4 completely different strains at once whilst keeping canopy even. Each pot can be individually raised.

You'll yield big time.

 

[STUNKY]

I would lay in the tent and get a tan.. Loljk.. The four plants each tied on a wall hps in middle ..vert em
