I'll have to do some calculations and get back to you. I have a tent that is quite bushy currently. Might try to count them tomorrow and see. But it's a good question :D 3x3 doesn't really count as I lost bendy.

I never really counted per square feet just the squares in the net.Figured how many colas i wanted spaced out in every other square and secondary nodes in between.Hard to work it all out like you really want to but i think i topped around the 10th so i got 40 main colas and a few other ones in between.Had to trim up the fan leaves a few times but no big deal.I counted them all the other night and in a 38x56 inch closet scrog i have about 60 good tops in there.I got 2 plants taking up alot of space and a 600 watt HPS in DWC

Now heres some autos i topped and scrogged at 46 days in DWC that just went retarded.Got 2 colas in the same holes in some spots.Had some drama today so had to pull the net and move em but they are crazy.this is a 45x60 inch area

Here is my clone of the beast (#2).
She has 40 tops I could count but I'm sure I missed a few lol.

She lives in a 4 cu ft chamber with 4 sq ft of space 2'x2'x1' .

So 40 cola's ÷ 4 sq ft= 10 cola's per sq ft.

There is the before pictures in the quote ^^

Well this beast clone reached the end and here were her last pictures before harvest

So that is what 40 tops in 4 cubic feet look like growing in a 5 gallon pot.

She yielded 2.64oz

My main representation of stuffing multiple cola's into a small space. I did some defoliation of the core right b4 these pics today.

The Beast (#2)

She is growing in a 2x2x5 chamber.
4 sq ft/20 cu ft. And she has 56 cola's.
The 3 accent plants have a few tops growing in but I'm counting them as single cola each. Add those 3 accent plants you got 59 cola's total.

So 59 cola's ÷ 4 sq ft= 14.75 cola's per sq ft. She is gonna be a huge yielder. She is in her 3rd week of flower.

I had to tie her together with string so her branches don't break during the chop.

She was quite the lady.
Yielded 6.11oz

I grow bushes at different stages so my garden doesn't really apply unless we use cubic feet of colas. I try to bud them top to bottom to maximize wattage and space while staying within Michigan guidelines.

But I have stumbled on a way to maximize the colas the way you show @rmoltis wothout all that work training.

I cut a clone on a plant that had been flowering 7 or 8 weeks. She took 2 months to reveg and more to root properly. But here she is. She is about 1 foot cubed. She ended up being 3.5 oz of dried buds and a nice jar of close trim and loose or small nugs.

I didn't count the colas. Sorry. ;-)

What is the trimming technique? I recently harvested and I scrogged and trimmed throughout but it looks nothing like. Too leafy, buds not that size at all either.

My main thread is in my signature.
I have all my grows logged in it.
I just wrapped up grow 4 which included that big beotch.

You have any questions I have it all documented with pictures and info.
It was an over 4.5 month grow from seed to the end of the 77 day flowering period.

Training was a long arduous process.
And it took a lot of work. Veg time was the biggest factor.

Basically I just combined all training techniques into a freestyle sort of training. Each lady is unique. It's too hard to get them to grow identically.

I basically watch the plant grow.
And as she grows in I direct her growth where I imagine it.

I am currently working on creating a new beast for round 5. If your interested in seeing how it's done you are always welcome to watch it happen.

I shoot for 10 cola's per sqf in my 2x2x5 tent with a 400watt hps cool tube,
I usually pull 250g out of this space depending on what/how I'm growing

3plants in 11 litre of coco/perlite, 1x white widow in the back & 2x sour d in the front.
Week 7 from seed
Week 2 day 1 of 12/12

Came across this old thread. Lovely plants all.

In terms of ideal colas per space, it depends on what kind of environment you can achieve/afford. The more colas the more heat, humidity, risk of mould. But if you can manage it you can get a lot out of a square foot.

I run 14,4 colas per sq foot.
9 plants in a 5x5 @ 1000W - 1.7g/watt
72 colas , 23.6g/cola
340g/sq foot

Awesome grow!

4 per sq/ft is ideal I believe. That's how I used to roll when i did SOG. 50 x 1 gallon pots per 4x4 lol.

But yeah I like to have a 6" area for a top to grow in minimum.

5x5 is 25 sq foot, how you get 340g/sq foot?
