Can I put 8 plants all together in one 88L bucket or is better to separate plants and put 8 plants in 8 small 11L buckets?

I did a dwc with 4 plants in one 69L rubbermade. Only when it was too late I realized there isn’t no way to separate the giant knot of roots underneath.

did your 4 plants grow in 69L rubbermade biger or smaller than other plants in normal 11L buckets?
You want to be able to feed each one individually so you know how much nutrients they are getting. If there all together they will be fighting to get the nutrients which means they wont all grow how you want them. And if its your first time just stick with 1-2 plants so you get the feel of things. 1 plant will hold anything from a gram to a pound(or more if your a serious grower)..

Not to contradict bk at all - follow his method and you'll grow big plants with big yields. ( pssst! - It's all in his journal)
- but you can do small plants in small pots.
There are other journals with size management techniques - LST, Mainlining, Scrogging, etc.
Find some successful grows that look like what you want.
Do what they did.
You'll get what they got.
Here's my largest LST plant - she's in a 5g fabric pot & FFOF soil, 13 branches

Extension poles, just goes from floor to ceiling, normally as a temporary support pole but has other uses also. Handy things to have around for sure.

Great tutorial on making temporary
Now I just need to rig some mounting bulkheads for ventilation and power. My office partition will be good to go and ready to expand as needed --- on paper anyway.

I am new in this.
Why did you chose 2.5 gallons. Why not 4?

Well they are 3 gallon buckets, but only hold 2.5 gallons of coco. No need for anything larger then 3 gallon when running coco imo.
