2s company 3s a crowd?

[Billpopy79]

So I'm on my first grow (total newbie)
I germinated 3 seeds and they seem to be growing ok so far (still early days).

I'm going to grow in a 2x4x5 ft tent so was planning on 2 plants, my question is do I keep the 3rd plant if they all survive or will I be cramming too much into my tent?

Strain is 8 ball kush
Light is 450w led

I know of people who do well with 3 plants in a tent that size. With a little training, you shouldn't have any problem.

Welcome to
It will depend on several variables, including container size and length of veg.

I'm planning to put them in some 5 gal plastic pots when they are ready, after doing a bit of reading on here Im thinking of just topping them and maybe a bit of gentle LST

 

[FelipeBlu]

If you don’t train them too far outside the pots, or for too long, you should be okay.

You can fill a 2x4 with one plant.

 

[Scottsquatch]

For sure! Or even four. I love how versatile this plant is.

I've been told the strain I've got is pretty slow going and usually needs a longer veg time, maybe I'll be better off with 3 and switch to bloom a bit sooner.

You can have as many or as little plants you want just train them to the width of your tent in veg then flip to flower once your canvas is filled with green. Allow room for them to stretch while in flower. They could double on height.

 

[Scottsquatch]

That's what we were getting at. You explained it much better.

More the merrier as they say. 2x4 with 3 plants is fine. Might get crowded after day 40 if everything goes well but still manageable.

You can learn training techniques. Always good to learn.
