New Grower How many plants

[sey420]

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.

Thank you for your advice. I thought 2 was a push but just wanted to get some views from those who may have grown in a similar size area.
Is it okay to lollipop autos? I know its considered LST but Read up a lot about them not taking well to stress at all?

I've never lollipopped myself l, just LST with pipe cleaners bending branches back to create a level canopy. The autos now days can handle a good amount of stress but I don't know if I can recommend lillipopping....here's my 4x4 tent with 8 descent plants. .. 120cmx120cm tent. ...2 5 gal pots and the rest are 3s....

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.

That tent has a mars series 2 1200w in it. I also have a 2x4 tent with 2 150w amare panels. I'm putting together prices and getting an electrician quote on upgrading everything in my room to 240v instead of 120v. Being a 4x8 tent and another light to fill the other side. Heres my 2x4. Day 24 and looking like it's going to b right. ..the pic below is actually like 3 days old. ..

Here I just took these for you. Hope this helps give you an idea of my LST methods and how the plants fit already. And there's still more growing lol.

And to b honest bro this will probably b my last time using 4 3 gal pots. I'm going to try 2 or 3 big plants instead of trying to cram my space. All trial and error to figure out what works best for you honestly. There's a million diff. Ways to grow and get great meds and yields. Just have to find your niche! I'm sum working on what's best and trying to dial in an exact recipe for success! Lol

I have 4 in 10 ltr airpots in a .7m x .7m x 1.8m so I'd say 4 or at least 3! LST etc required. It can get busy, and there's a balance, but I like it for the variety as space is limited. Good luck

Ive just set her up and put my one plant in there. Getting a new grow going in a few weeks #superscouser courtesy of @seraphim19 and one other strain yet to be decided. Id love to fit 2 in one tent but seeing this has left me with very little hope

I'm a fan of cramming plants in small places, I'd stick 1 plant per sq ft, 4 in a .6mx.6m. Stagger planting them 2 weeks apart and it makes better use of light/space(no point having 4 seedlings taking up all that space)

I'll have to see how lollipoping autos turns out, but I suspect no issues. Cramming 18 plants per square meter here. Easy to make plants smaller, hard to make them bigger.
