well,after the delays with the plants burning and the house not being ready things are back on track.got some new clones(small),not sure of the breed,we will have to wait and see.did some work on the room.had to cut throught 12 inch concrete for an exhust hole and Line some areas with panda film but I should be ready by next week for the shift.
lesson learned. Never do anything half-assed. Keep some zip-ties around, they come in handy.

so this is the layout.
room is aprox 12 x 12 x 8 feet high.
6 plants in 16 gallon pots in soil using the H&G range of nutes.
They will be veged for 5-8 weeks and then flowered.
five 600s.
four plants will get hit by two bulbs,one plant will get hit by three and the middle one will get hit by four.
Im hoping that since they are all the same strain,growin in the same soil mix and nutes that it will give me a good view of how much I can get off each plant using different numbers of lights per plant.then after weighing each plant i can determine the best combo of plants verses lights for the next run.

Hey Swampy.......Not sure what ta say bout the setup other than run it and let us know the outcome per plant weight results come harvey........but....
Yas need 50 watts per sq ft for proper light dispersal and lumen absorption by the plants without starvin em and em stretchin like crazy from lack of light......
I suppose the offset in the corner makes the room less than 12 x 12/144 sq ft , but still with only 3000 watts , you`re only right around lil less than half what yas need for optimum results IME...
I usedta run 34 watts per sq ft way back in the day , and until I raised it up to 50 , my plants were stretchier and airier/not as dense , and internode distance was further apart.....Good luck with your room and let us know what happens......
Peace.....DHF.....

Cheer Bro. Took a while to get over sorry, been down in the south island but back home to Wellys now! Looks like shits gonna be Killer soon! Your grows are always EPIC. I'll definately be keeping a close eye on what goes down.
One thing to take note of with the H and G that SOG's selling is that there is no veg and flowering nutes it's all just good for both. Probably all good but I feel that sacrifices would have to be made to acheive this i.e. not enough nitrogen in veg and not enough pottasium in bud (otherwise too much nitrogen in bud stuffs buds up!). Anyway I'm sure you'll be killer no matter what you use! It'll be interesting to see cause I use canna but I must admit taking a long hard look when SOG released the H & G line up!
Anyway big ups bro! Shits gonna be off the chart.

Also just quickly, that Terrazilla stuff SOG sells is wicked bro! Better roots than any soil mix I've ever used before. Apparently there's trichodermia in there which really helps the roots!

Watch out with max yield bro. I constantly got fungus gnats cause MY's cocoa based. Just keep an eye out for them. If you do happen to get them get on the phone to Otaki Hydro in Wellington and mail order (no website sorry) a pottle of Mr No Gnat. Its HEAPS cheaper than the nilnat stuff SOG sell and a way better product in my opinion. Sog sells Nilnat for $80 for 15 mils whereas Otaki sells No Gnat for (I think) $20 for around 200 grams.
