How many plants to grow

marc2341 · Jul 13, 2022

Could anyone offer me advice, I am new to growing & produced one low yield crop with 4 indica plants, i have a 1m x1m x 2m tent & have changed my lighting from a 600w hps light to a 300w Maxibright dimmable full spectrum Led lighting.
I would like some info on what would be the suitable amount of plants to grow in it for maximum yield.
I grow Blue Cheese indica, also would anyone recommend using the SOG method.
Many thanks

I would grow 4 bigger plants max and use techniques such as lolipopping, topping, LST and SCRoG to keep plants canopy even. You can try either that, or as you have suggested, the SoG technique instead (if you are not limited by law for the number of plants to grow).

If you choose the SCRoG version though, choosing same strain is preferred due to the same stretching amount.

1 plant per 2 sq ft is a good rule to follow so 4 in your case

Thank you, I am only growing blue cheese as it helps my daughter with her fibro myalgia

1 sq m = 10.67 sq ft, so four plants seems tight to me. Maybe 2 or 3 plants for a start.

It all depends if your growing autos or photos. Auto can get away with lower light intensity so you nay be able to hang the light high enough to cover a 1m x 1m area under 18/6-24/0 light schedule.

If photoperiod id stick to a 3x3 and then it depends on the grow style. Anywhere from 1-9 plants can work. It just depends how your going to grow them

This is two plants in a 3x3 so similar size. My light is a 300 watt full spectrum dimmable light. So this should give you some idea of what to expect. They are in 7g fabs. There is room for a third behind them but it would be just too crowded in my opinion. If they were in 3 g pots probably 3 plants, maybe 4 if all trained well.

However many you need/want to make a nice canopy imho. 1sqm could be anywhere from 1 big plant in a screen, to 9 small ones in a sea of green, or just a freestyle jungle if you just wanna see how they like to grow lol. Grower's choice.

SOG works best with identical clones. 4 small plants topped once and flowered early might work.

This is one plant in a 4x4. Topped twice fimmed once and scrogged. So it all depends on the method you use and what it is that you want from your plants.

Thank you for ur reply, I was thinking along the lines of your method with just the one for maximum yeild

see my signature for a thread in a 4ftx4ft. six plants, harvested a little over 29 ounces last run. If you search for my other grow threads, you'll see the same tent ran with different methods, lighting, and plant counts. imo the one in my signature is the way to go for max yield and i'm starting a new run with full intentions on repeating that method. not for beginners, though, there's a lot of implicit knowledge required to do such a run. but, for max yield, it is bar none the best I've done in over two decades of growing.
