How many plants to scrog

[7L!fTeD24]

I have a 32x32x63 tent. I have 3 zkittles seeds, 3 jack herer seeds, and 3 maui wowie seeds. How many plants should I scrog in this small tent. 1,2,3,or 4. I'm thinking only one will fit. Or should I do 4 with no training? What will get me the biggest yeild. I have 3 and 5 gallon fabric pots. I have Happy frog and ocean forest soil nd all the ff nutes 400 watt hps/mh light. 6in inline fan with filter. Also would it be easy to put straight in 5 gallon pot after germ so no transplantingn or would I hAve watering issues. Need some advice before planting. Thanks!

I have a 36” x 36” scrog screen. I’ve done everything from one plant up to 5.
depends how long you want to veg.
4 plants topped 1x and a 4 week veg worked good. The single plant was about 12 weeks veg

I agree with bookush it's all about time with vegging. I personally would do more plants and veg less and have less training. I did some in 4 x 4 tent and flipped after only four weeks and filled the canopy only topped once on each plant. Bigger buds and less veg time.

Ok but remember his tent was a little bigger 36x36, mines only 32x32 so should I still do the four plants will the 4 inches Matter? Also what size pots did you use should I keep them in three gallon pots or move them up to five gallon pots? If I'm doing a short veg time shouldn't 3 gallon pots suffice?

4 plants in a square is uniform. It will fill your screen more evenly.
When I did 4 plants in mine I have used 3gal and 5 gal pots with Promix.

4x 3 gal pots with 4weeks veg should fill your 32”x32” nicely I think.

Here is a single 15gal promix that took about 12weeks to fill and flip

Ok nice that's what I wanted to do in the 1st place and tht plant is gorgeous btw!!!!

 

[7L!fTeD24]

I'm gonna do the 4x 3 gallon pots!!!

Noob question here... those training wires hanging from the lower branches are left from before when you started using the scrog net for training right? Probably after topping?
And at what exact point did you choose to lollipop this beauty? Close to right after first scrog training or just before flowering?

Sorry for spamming your thread @7L!fTeD24 , I had to ask after seeing those pictures..!

No worries I need to know the same information this is my first time.

One would be enough.. This is an riu thread, probably one of the best on what a scrog is and how it should be built.. Less than 100 days seed to harvest.. A decent yield for 400 watts..

Yeah I used the tie down wire to spread the main branches. Before putting it under the screen.

I topped then let the branches stretch a little then tie down.

I lollipop about 10-14days into flower. Whatever don’t make it above the screen in the first two weeks of stretching gets cut

25days veg in hydro is like 40-45 days in soil IMO.

Im very indecisive right now an need some black or white advice. I either do 4 plant scrog with short veg or I do 1 plant with really long veg. I'm impatient recently because for the last month or two I've been getting together all my equipment, nutrients, tools, etc. I'm all the way ready now and I like the 4 plant scrog idea if possible in a 32"x32"x63", because it will be quicker, I dont think I'll have to transplant to bigger pots either (from 3gal. to 5gal.). Also I like having the variety of a couple different plants. what I'd like the most though is what would get me the highest% yeild on a yield/time ratio. so someone please tell me what to do. I need help making a final decision and then just gonna go with it based on other people's trial and errors in final outcomes. So hopefully I get a couple people to chime in thanks a lot I'll let you know what I choose.

Being your first grow definitely go with 4 plants.
you Are going to want to tinker and mess with them. I mean I did when I started.
4 gives you more to Tinker with. You can try different strains if you want. Try different training styles and what not.

also being impatient. You can’t wait to get to flowering. So waiting 12weeks in boring veg. You will get cabin fever

 

[7L!fTeD24]

Haha that's exactly the answer I wanted to hear!!!

 

[Budtreegrower]

I agree that you should go with four. This way if one gets sick or turns hermie for any reason you didn't waste all that time. I would go for longer veg for my outdoor summer plants because I dont care nearly as much for them. I start vegging them now. So they are monsters by summers end.

Wish I could grow outside.. Hasn't rained since last April. At least not enough to measure..

I live in Ohio. Growing outside here is difficult because the weather is crazy. All over the place. It'll be 70° and sunny one day and 40° and snowy the next so I've never tried.

4 is better for a beginner. The sad reality is that many first timers mess up. The plants don't always survive. With 4 plants rather than 1 you have a better chance of having at least 1 or 2 make it through flowering. Plus, as stated previously, a much shorter veg time which means less time that you have to try to keep the plants healthy and happy. Best of luck!
