setting up a sog?

[zigzagzarf]

got a few questions here....

i'm helping a buddy set up a perpetual sog and i'm not sure about the planting and harvesting timing...

lets see...the box is a foot deep...3 feet long and a little over 2 feet tall...

the grow space fits about nine 16oz cups...a fan sits in the corner to keep air flowing...lighting is 3 26watt cfl's 2700k's each and 2 26watt cfl's that are 6500k...

now ideally 4oz's to 5oz's a month would be the harvest he wants...does this seem doable in this size box?....what would be the best harvest period?....every 2 weeks? every month?...3 plants a harvest?

when they get the money the fan taking up space will be upgraded to something smaller....that would leave room for 15 plants to fit...


any suggestions?

you need more like 6 23 watters imo and idk it sounds good to me man go for it just get more lights

4-5 ozs per month from 78 watts of cfls, impossible.

I have a small rubermaid cab with 4 42 watt cfls, and pulled 2.5 ounces the first round. I was using dyna-gro bloom nutes on the first run but now using dutchmaster advanced with potash+. I fed for the first time yesterday with the dutchmaster and they have plumped up over night.

The 2700K temp has more usable color for the plant.

To pull 8 ozs per harvest or 4 ozs per month, you would need 9 42 watt cfls, or 380 watts of cfls assuming a 0.6 gpw harvest.

thats what i was going to say but didnt want to be the first sounds kinda like a far stretch with 26 watters like caveman said mabye 2.5 oz but 4 to 5 idk if that is possible.

leaning towards 3 plants a month for harvest....might up that to 5 in time
