Ill be using smart/fabric pots and a mars hydro 600w actual 292w

Any advice is greatly appreciated =)

Honestly dude I'd say 1.maybe 2 at the very very most. That's a tight squeeze brother! Maybe 2 or 3 1gal fabrics would do good. A lot more often watering though. Tough call. 1 to 2 with 3gal fab.

Which size pots did you use and didnt it get overcrowded? I was thinking to try 2 at a push but you completely have me rethinking now. What sort of yield was u getting? (Dry) if you dont mind me asking?

I was thinking the same based on the one i have at the moment a second isnt even an option! But people have tried more so wanted to get a better idea. Are 3gallon pots sufficient for a decent yield 2oz per plant?

More plants Doesnt always mean more yield. If they don't have the space to grow they won't get as big so you would b using more seeds to acquire about the same yield. More soil. More nutrients. More time. For very little gain. Just my opinion. Too cramped and not open structure can cause a lot of popcorn bud unless u lollipop. Honestly 1 good sized strain at a runner in a 5 gal or 2 in 3 gals is still really pushing it. I had 4 in 3 gal in a 2x4 and they were over crowded.

I can confirm 1 decent plant in a 15ltr pot i thought i would do a staggered grow 4 weeks apart but think i should of stuck with just 1 plant.my widow seriously wants my 2x2 to herself but i am not going to pull my black cream i will just have to see how it goes.
