3x3x72” tent, how many plants maximum?

[Southerncough]

I'm of the opinion that it's often better off to not have enough plants to fill the space than to have way too many - especially when one is a (relatively) new grower.

Oh I've had that problem...but also I still go through back luck spells with clones. I can nail it for months and then go through a dry spell and fail miserably at cloning, so having some extra cuts to make up for grower goofs=clone mortality helps. Hell, lately I've just been leaving cuttings in a cup of tap water!

I've been known to root them in a glass on the windowsill now and then.

 

[Southerncough]

It was kind of a stoner goof. Had put them in a cup and the mrs called for me and I wandered off. Must have set them behind another pot or something because a few weeks later i came across a cup full of rooted clones in the back of my tent...kind of a found $5 in the dryer moment LOL

Ok lol the OP asked a question, and you gave a smart a** answer and told OP his question was meaningless when it wasn’t AT ALL... (way to treat a newer member btw) ... if you bothered to comprehend what you read you would know what the OP was asking... he had a 3x3 tent and already suggested that he could MAYBE get 2 plants in there... obviously he was asking about how many normal plants he could get in the tent... not how many micro plants you could fit in your daydream garden.. his question wasn’t a brain teaser or a riddle dude lmao.. I’m sorry but I’m seeing way too much of people bashing on one another on here and it’s usually people that don’t have anything good to contribute anyways.. now have fun talking down about other members.. enjoy your night everyone.

The post clearly states 3 x 3 x72” tent, how many plants maximum?

Just wondering what others have been able to pull off to maturity in a 3x3 x72”

This clearly leaves the question open for any number of plants, not merely one to three. I like to think if your asking a question like that your expecting an interesting answer. Otherwise why would you ask it? Do a little bit of leg work and see what other folks have done.

Don't get butthurt when someone does something differently than you. Fill them tents up!

managed 12 hempy style in an area 42 x 36.
2L buckets. jungle style with no scrog.

what it looked like at chop. don't think i'll try stuff that many in again.

 

[Allen42]

They look delicious.

Looks good. What kind (and how much) lighting did you have in the space? What did you grow them in (soil, perlite, coco coir, et cetera)? What strains did you grow in there, and were you able to (successfully) use the same nutrient strength/ratio on all of them? How much did you yield?

 

[cr8grow]

I’m a new grower and my under-informed plan is 4 plants in a 3x3 cabinet now at day 26. I will scrog at about 10” off the top of the pots to allow up to 2/3 stretch after I flip given my headroom. I have also seen many one plant set ups in a 3x3 online. I may end up with a “ask me how I know” situation.

Can I get away with 2 ? Just wondering what others have been able to pull off to maturity in a 3x3 x72” . Thanks

I use 50x50x100mm black orchid, ive got 3 in that one now, flowered 2 recently decent size..lot off lst supercropping topping fimming lol..but it can be fone with a decent enough harvest. I use cfls..this tents got 2 450w dul specs an a 50w led

that was the last run on my old 2 x 2 4 cob light with the far red 5050 smds.
they were all hempy. straight perlite in 2L buckets.
this was the last run on the AN nutes. everyone was fed the same. did not tailor anything for a particular plant.

i''m terrible at tracking weight. i got 6 large jars and 1 small out of it. the large jars hold about an ounce and a half. ballpark it at 9 ounces which averages about an ounce per sqft. about what i expect for the space. consider myself an average at best grower.

I feel a big deciding factor is how soon you want to turn around your harvest. I love exploring new training techniques during a long veg, etc. However I'm also producung medicine for my wife so I don't always have a ton of extra time to try this or that instead of the most efficient way to bring her relief. That being said, yesterday i stumbled upon a thread here about quadlining and am geeking out so hard right now that i can barely wait for my seedlings to grow branches LOL. I would imagine the right plant quad lined would easily fill a 3x3x6 tent with a stocky canopy of meds

 

[Elvin]

You could fit 81 plants in 9 sq ft of grow tent? ..

If you can stuff 81 Solo cups in there; yes you can.

 

[Commando45]

Lmao...50x50x100cm....mm lol..yeah yeah..puff..pass

I've grown as many as 5 plants in my GGT 2x2.5x76" tent. Yield was about 1-1.5oz each. I used 1.5gal Dollar Tree waste baskets hempy style. I did a second grow with 4 and yield was about the same. Biggest problem is humidity and environment management.

I recommend 2 in 2gal Lowe's paint buckets sized containers. You could squeeze a third in as I have done but I feel the easiest is 2.

You can sew up any size bag you need with landscape fabric.

Got 186g wet 76g dry from the 1st one
164g wet 58g dry from 2nd both in the 50x50x100s both 450w cfls

 

[cr8grow]

We’ll see if I’m in trouble in a few weeks or if I jumped the gun on flip to 12/12 yesterday, just into week 6, concerned they will blow up given the daily growth. Looking forward to seeing my first fuzzy flowers.

 

[cr8grow]

End of week 6 veg to flower looking good. Feels like 4 in a 3x3 will work so far. I dont know what I dont know at this point. Dropped the scrog several inches...working like I’ve read

 

[cr8grow]

So far seems like I will be OK with four topped, LST and scrogged plants in a 3x3. I need to get in there next week and trim out some fan leaves and small lower branches/bud sites.
