Indoor Need help with grow plan please

[Surfer Joe]

I am preparing to grow some autos in a small tent and try scrogging to keep the height down if I can.
The tent is only 30" x 30" x 5'10" tall and I am using a 400 watt multi-spectrum hid lamp for the grow.

My question is which grow plan would you advise=

1 plant in an 11L soil pot
2 plants in 7L pots
3 plants in 3.5L pots

I am leaning toward two or three pots, but would I be able to get the same yield from just one plant in a bigger pot and spreading it to fill the scrog space?
It seems that with more plants, you can at least expect to get one big cola from each, while one plant in scrog might just make smaller buds, but I don't really know.
Thanks for any advice.

You could do 4 plants in 1 gal pots (3.7l) and that wouldn't be a problem. Strain and grow medium dependent of course. So whichever way you choose you should be fine!

I run 2 in a 4x4, leaves plenty of room for working around and any other stuff you want in there. I use 3 gal bags usually. Good luck

One plant in a scrog could fill it up if its,a larger strain. Have you used a scrog before?

I have the same size grow space 30x30xx84 a little more head room tho. I use two 5 gallon pots 20L and scrog them and they pack my space. So I would say go with grow plan [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG]. Good luck bro

Thanks everyone.
I haven't used scrog before so it's more of an experiment this time.
I only have 3 auto seeds planted and will have to decide on pot size and numbers in about 2 weeks.

i would not grow an auto in less than a 2 gallon (~8 liter) pot, and much prefer 3 gallon (~11 iters). I would try to fit 2-4 in your space.

2, especially if training them. If you have a smallish strain like critical jack, run more plants. I always think that yield is better with medium plants, they need enough strength to hold whatever weight grows on the tops, so bigger stalks help. Thats one of the reasons scrog works.

I think you will really like the scrog I love it . If done right you will have a even canopy and lots of bud sights for a bigger yield. Hit me up if you need any help. Or even better do a grow journal and lots of people will help you . Again good luck brothers.

Thanks.
Is there a recommended hole size for the scrog nets?
I have a white metal wire shelf that came with the tent and I'm not sure it it was intended for scrog or it's just a wire shelf. The square holes in the wire shelf are about 2 inches on a side.
Should I have a scrog net with bigger size holes?
