I'm in early veg cycle with 2 plants and am overcoming my mistakes as they come along.
I have a DWC 17 gal tub, am using GH trio and just added a good bacteria growth additive to the water / nute mix. My plants are a 70 /30 sativa hybrid. they are growing like a pair of small dwarfs, 9 leaf nodes but only 3 inches tall. I want to operate a small grow profile. Legal penalties climb too high if I get too much yield and look like a seller. As such, my grow plans are evolving. My current idea is to maintain a mother, and enough clones to fill the space around the size of a 30 gal tub. I don't smoke, so am planning almost exclusively using tinctures and edibles. I want to get light buzzes, not couch locked and stoned to oblivipn. My grow area is in a basement, I use 2 King LEDs. One draws a max of 150 watts, the other draws 250 watts with veg and bloom light both on. For veg or bloom alone, power consumption is half, 75 125 watts. Colors seem good and the sweet spot for lights is enough for my tubs.
My questions. In a SOG around 2'x3' (a 2nd 30 gal tub), how many clones should I plan for to bloom.
Is that number realistically going to give enough yield for an average user in your opinion. My other option is to veg one clone and give it the extra grow time to fill my 2" x 3" bloom space. I can size and bend plants, I also maintained an outside wildlife habitat. Some call it gardening.
I know that I'm asking for the unanswerable how big is big, but I'm inexperienced and can use a reality check by the experienced growers. OFs, are you willing to chime in?
