In a 4x4 tent, the main limitation is the horizontal space you have to work with. 1 plant, if trained well and vegged for long enough can easily fill the space and create a dense canopy full of equal sized buds.
Furthermore, 2 plants if trained properly, can also fill up the entire space.
My theory is that you can shorten veg time required to fill the space by increasing the number of plants. Veg for too long and you just end up overgrowing your space and that results in an uneven canopy that doesn't produce any more.
Under grow your space and you will see areas of canopy that are not occupied by buds, essentially wasted light footprint.
In a scrog Facebook group, one gentleman was saying that many OG (original gangsta) scroggers recommend less plants which, because of "being able to better tuck them" will give better results.
I just don't see how this is realistic. If I can veg 9 plants for 5 weeks (starting from rooted clones) and fill up a 4x4, that would take 4 plants 8 weeks to do the same, would I get the same results?
If so, then the 3 weeks savings can add up to 1 extra cycle per year which is like kinda a lot.
Do you think the scrogger who said to do less plants is right?
