Build Notes
A SCROG net dramatically increases yield — highly recommended for 4-plant setups
Light hangs 18-24" above canopy in veg, 12-18" in flower
A 2x4 needs an intake hole OR a passive intake screen on opposite side from exhaust
4 plants in 3-gallon = ~12 oz; 2 plants in 5-gallon = ~14 oz (same wattage, more yield per plant)
