Hi all, im going to be getting my tent in like a week and just doing some planning so i know what to get so i can order at the same time as my tent. So how many plants do you think would be a good number in a 3x3 tent under a 600w hps bulb?

That is going to depend on the size of the containers and how long you plan to veg. A 600 could easily handle anything you have in the 3x3 tent. You just have to decide which size container and that will dictate how many plants you can fit in the tent. If you plan to do a Sea Of Green which is lots of single cola plants you will fit more than if you were growing in 3 gallon containers. Then you have to think about height constraints in the tent as you didn't mention the height. The plants will usually double (Indica Dominant) or triple (Sativa Dominant) once you pull the trigger for the flowering cycle. Style of grow will dictate container size and container size will dictate how many plants you can fit in the tent. I hope that helps.

You could probably fit nine 3 gallon pots. Start 3, then 3 weeks later start 3 more, then 3 weeks later 3 more and so on. You could get a nice perpetual harvest going.

This too is a great option. there are no rules to growing. Do what you like but I do respect the fact that you are asking for advise.

Hey if you throw that Motavation outside make sure you have it hidden well. I grew one outside this year. It was 9" when I planted in June and it was 9 feet when I harvested.

Best tasting weed I have smoked.
And hits hard! The buzz rushes through your face and travel at light speed through your body. I really like it. Thanks for the advice Bigv. But I am lucky enough to have a place to grow them as big as I want. I could tell by how they both yielded indoors that they could grow into monsters outdoors.

Yeah I put mine outside just because Paradise says that it is not a great outdoor plant but it was great.
