Grow space question

Ok i need help again. The pic below is the dimensions of my closet. Anybody got any suggestions on any good tents that would work in the area that I have? Or am I just better off using the space itself? My goal is to grow 6 plants together in the space that I have. Appreciate any info or advice given to me😁

Hi Porcha
I wanted to give you an idea of what 6 plants in a similar square footage look like. These are my six plants in a 4x4 tent, last night.
You can do 6 plants in that size space, but it will get very crowded! One of my 6 barely gets any light!

Trying to fit a tent in there will further reduce space, so may try to seal and reflect the space you have. And maybe plan on 4...

Id fix the space and not use a tent. If your gonna use soil remember you need room to get in there and water each plant. 3 or 4 is more reasonable for a soil grow. If your using some other system im not sure.

And wow camp how do you work in there. That is a full tent.
 
Redwasp fortunately, most of the "work" is now complete. I could reach over the front ones for most of the grow... And use the side windows. But now they are 48" tall and have grown right past the side windows, so I am up on tip toes trying to lean over and get to the ones in back! I am over 6' tall, but the plants are up to my shoulders (48" + saucer 3.5" + pot/media 12")!
My auto-drip system is making it easier also! :)
 
Wow that is a full tent. Appreciate the pics and info I'll just make the room work. I plan on putting reflective paper on all the walls so the light can bounce off. I was plannng on doing the screen of green method just not sure how I'm going to hook that up just yet🤔
 
If you plan to Scrog, 2 plants will be enough!
With 6 you may be closer to SOG than Scrog!
I Manifold my plants...
Nebula has wonderful tutorials on all of those training methods on the main GWE site :)
 
Still new to the game. Think I'll just stick with regular growing and lst them my goal is to get an even sized canopy
 
I think two would be great in a ScrOG in there. Especially with the 5’8” height limitation. If you do go just too and lst I think you could do 6 in 3 gallons pretty comfy in there since you’ve got 5 feet to do the row and two will be fine in the column. I’d do 3 gallons rather than 5 myself and would limit veg time due to the height.
 
So what' the best option? Screen of green or just a regular grow? I really just want a good yield. I'e only got the two strains blue cheese fem and candy kush. My last grow was my first and I think it went well but I know what to do and what not to do. Just wanna make the best choice
 
They all have their advantages and uses.
I really like manifolds to maximize yield and maintain an even canopy.
Scrogs are good if you have vertical space limits as @Locrain99 suggests. You certainly need to consider that along with the lights you plan to use. There isn't going to be a lot of vertical space to grow your plants. ...My plants wouldn't fit in there, they barely fit in my 80" tent. I think you might still be able to do manifolds or other topping methods, but Scrog would be advised and then you're talking 2 maybe 3 plants max.
One way or the other, you will have to train the plants to maximize your yield in that space. Be sure to read all of those tutorials, I am sort of assuming that you already did.
Cheers
 
Campesino that 80 inches fades fast with taller breeds doesnt it. Lol.
I also have some 60 inch tents and use topping and lst and low plant counts and get great yields. But you have to keep up with your lst and may need to do some supercropping towards the end.
 
My light is a 600 watt hp light. Im not sure what one will give me the best yield kinda leaning towards just growing the plants normal with lst I've done the topping before. I'm currently trying to figure out the difference between topping and manifolding. My plants won't get that big autofems tend to stay small and the other strain I have was listed as medium height. But if so I can always train them early. Yeah I have read the threads lol I'm constantly reading on the subject. My main research now is finding the difference between topping and manifolding. Seriously appreciate all your help
 
Yeah, my silly plants kept stretching until Flower day 35! Thank goodness they finally stopped (fingers crossed)

Agree with your recommendations. Supercropping is my favorite! And a required skill to get a uniform canopy! Without supercropping I would have had to move my plants outside!
 
Depending on your reflector you will get about a 3.5x3.5 footprint out of your light. So you’ve got 2.5 feet of space that’s really not going to get good light coverage. I’d really look into the ScrOG I think myself. They are Very time consuming during the stretch to do right though so I’d take that into consideration. You could probably get away with four plants topped and lst’d And stay in that footprint. Could also look into some leds for supplemental lighting.

Your hps will produce some awesome yields with manifolds too so you could do two in 5 gallons. Or you mentioned one was an auto you could easily do 4 of those in 3 gallons I think that’s what most do autos in. Anyways I’m rambling just sharing my thoughts. I don’t think I’d run auto and photos side by side as the 12/12 lighting will kill your auto yields.
 
Hmmm. So much to think about. You say I might be able to get away with the 4 plants in scrog? That's with the lst with it? If that's the case I can do 4 of the blue cheeses inside and let the candy kush grow outside. I'm glad you said that about the auto because I read where it wouldn't matter the light pattern.
 
Locrian99 is full of good ideas!
4 plants would be max - really too many, but you could pull it off.
The idea of a scrog is to get the plants to grow horizontally, thus, each plant takes a big footprint, but doesn't get very tall. That is why we think it will work in your short-ish space. With 4 plants you won't have a lot of room to run the plants horizontally (you will quickly fill up the scrog) and the rest of the growth will be vertical. So if you go with 4 you will really have to be careful about when you flip them so you don't outgrow your space during the stretch.
I'd rec 2, max 3 in a scrog. You can save the other seeds for next time.
Under that scrog, you should then plan to top the plants at least once and LST her branches through the scrog (like weaving... as they grow)

What medium do you plan to grow in?
 
Oh no I meant four with top and lst and that’s going to be tight. I myself would probably run 2-3 manifolds under that light. Run them in a row and focus on training them into the open area around so you make the most out of your footprint.
 
I wonder if i could get away with growing both in there till the flowering period of the candy kush then just move the blue cheese outside? I have no clue what to do now honestly
