Trees in Coco with 600 watters worth it?

[DonkDBZ]

Well I moved a bunch of shit into storage and now have a 9x11 foot space to work with. I have 4 600watt digi's already. anyways since new smart meter is coming here in the next month or so I want to play by the numbers so no more the 12 girls for me.

I was thinking
x = lil tree
o = 600
0 = 1000
_ = space

xoxox
_x0x_
xoxox

or

oxo
x0x
oxo

Are 600s powerful enough for tree style? What size coco pots? What sort of yield?
I like my current setup but my plant numbers would be too high for my taste with the wattage I want to run.
My woman has family problems she has to help with so she will be out of town a lot for the next few months.So I need to setup a simple drip system cause I am pulling solo Daddy duty. She said her mom is willing to move in for a while to help out but.....I say fuck that shit, too hell with sleep, no negative nancys at my house.

I think you will have no issues. As long as you got venting in check you should be fine with that amount of wattage. Def make the sacrifice to grow the herb your self. Never trust anyone to watch something they know nothing about. A big no-no .

You should hang some vertically as well so all the vegetation is covered with light.

Her mom would move in to help me out with babysitting and cleaning. I have heard enough of her storys about back in the 80's when she would make thai sticks out the herb her former husband grew.

Huh? my layout is for bare vert bulbs.

I've got a similar setup using stacked 600's
in fact i'm using only 600watters atm, and i'm growing trees.

Here is my thread and a photo from it.
These trees including pots are about 2-2.5 metres

^ good stuff.

either one of those layouts will work.


my experience has shown me that 600's can yield pretty decently with "trees" but if I had the choice I'd use 1000's for the penetration and sheer power/size of the buds.

4 600's with a 1000 in the middle will be badass though, that's the traditional Krusty style setup


you shouldnt need more than a 5gal bucket for smaller-medium sized trees in coco, but to get 2-4lb's per, I would think you need more rootspace than that..

I would like too run 1000's but the electric bill and buying em would be too much cash for me to spend at the moment.

really depends on strain, lanky sativas are ideal with stacked 600s but bushier indicas would probably be better with 1000s
