First time grower, got 35/40 plants under a 200watt LED, been under about 2 weeks, with no fan tho, they've shot up about 4 maybe 5 inches but are struggling to hold themselves up.. I've FINALLY got a fan on the go so 🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏻that helps, but any other tips.. PS , some 1 said 40 under a 200 watt LED IS WAY TOO MANY he said there only gonna be getting 5watts each 200÷40= I get that but is this right ?? Should I sacrifice a few

40 plants is definitely too many for any tent light that I know off. 

I grow 3 plants under a 300w light, I’d say most people in a 4x4 run 4 plants under anything from 300-600w (LED)

Whats the end goal here? Start them off and move outside or? If your planning on finishing 40 plants you’ll need more tents and more lights.

Hi Newbie buddy

What are your aims ? How much cannabis do you need for your personal consumption? And how often?

Based on the answers and the space you have to grow you can work out how many plants is best.

Generally homegrowers for personal consumption may typically have anywhere from 1 to 8 plants. Usually 3 or 4 is more common and more than enough for most peoples needs.

A 200w light would be enough to grow 2 good sized plants or maybe 3 or 4 smaller ones maximum for a more straightforward (and achievable) growing experience.

A good 200w led light should allow you to grow 150g to a little over 200g of quality cannabis in 3-4 months with little experience fyi

hope this helps 

Time to pop some more beans 😗

Heres a chart that might give you an idea how much room and light you'll need, but for 40 plants you'll need a mars hydro marquee tent and a lot of lights 😉

2 real options as I see it. The first has already been explained... cull to 2-4 plants max but the other is a sea of green approach. Measure the tent floor space and place your plants in one gallon pots on 6 inch (15cm) centers and change the light schedule to go immediately into flower. The positive to this is a quicker harvest, the negative is caring for a dozen or so plants every day and you will probably need some supplemental feeding in that size pot. The sea of green is very tempting but could be demanding for a novice grower but also doable.

Put all the plants in a 4x4 square with your light at 18"x 24", 50% power if dimmable. Put little sticks to hold them up. Cull the smaller ones. Figure out what medium your going to use, and in the mean time you keep the plants growing and you keep culling out the smaller weak ones. By the time your up and running your plants will be more than read to transplant and you should be left with the strongest ones. Then you could do as Monkeydo said about a sea of green. If you do that then you have lots of plants to learn with and increases your chance for a better yield. But honestly, 40 plants is way too fucking many. Straight up man. Good luck              peace
