Here you can find all the relevant information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Number_of_clones_per_light\"><\/span><strong>Number of clones per light<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantage of using clones is that they possess the same characteristics as the obtained plants and do not require a long growth period. Therefore, they can move to <strong>flowering more quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing to do to <strong>get the most weight with clones per square meter<\/strong> is to place as many as fit in 3L pots so they can flower from the start. You can place between 16 specimens per square meter up to 36 with a <strong>maximum of 7 days of growth.<\/strong> This way, they will approach the 500 grams that is the maximum achievable with a 600W light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you want to <strong>place 9 plants<\/strong>, less weight will be obtained, as the buds will be thinner. To get the best results, a SOG or SCROG system can be created to increase production.
