How Many Plants In A Tent?

[Cashcrop]

I'm doing a 4x4 tent with a solar storm 880 , trying the scrog meathod. I'm going to use 3 gallon pots. I was thinking of 5 plants. Does this seem about right or can I put 6 or 8 with this set up?

1 plant per square ft is usually my view.

But if your gonna scrog you can use as little as 1.

Option is yours really.

More plants=less veg.
Less plants=more veg.

Could do 9

9 plants? Even with scroging. ?
Won't be to crowded?

Im just saying you could... i would start with 4 and figure out your net... then do more

Early topping and training is key to building your canopy

You could also if your working with a confirmed female cut use a larger pot and just scrog 1 plant. Done right you could fill a 4 x 4 screen with one plant. However it will extend your veg time. The upside is, if done as a proper scrog your yield will make up for the extended veg time. It is in my mind also best to scrog each different strain separately as they will get intertwined and when its time to harvest it will be a B%%%% to keep everything sorted out.

Be sure to clean out the lowers of everything below the screen to maximize airflow under the screen.

That's when you throw it all in one bag. When people ask what strain is that? You answer Weed

Ok. I will try 4.
How far from the top of the soil would you place your trellis. 8 in 12in 24in ?

I like to run about a minimum of a foot above pot tops. You want enough room between so you can have access for plant husbandry duties. A tad higher gives even more room. The higher you place it the more access you have but then it does add veg time to your cycle.
