I got a small DWC set up using a 4 gallon rubbermaid with two trees. I got some more net pots.

Do you guys think the 4 gallon be enough to handle 4 trees?

It's possible for small 1.5ft plants. It's on the small side though. 5L per plant should be adequate which is about 6 gallons.

I LST the plants around the net pots. I then crop the plants, cutting all the branches to an even height. I wait for the new branches to appear and then flower to give me tons of colas in a small space.

I just wanna be sure I could do this with 4 trees in a small container. I think it would be more than the 1.5 feet your mentioning.

I have no problems with two trees but worried I will screw myself with 4

So you say 6 gallons? I will look around to see if I can find a nice container that size.

In full flower my last grow my plants were drinking a half gallon to a gallon a day. They had like a 3ftx 3ft canopy each.

I mean you could get away with 4 you'd just have to add water/nutes every day.

Thanks for the help. I'll see how my 4 gallon does. If it is lacking i'll head to Walmart and get a bigger container.

I do not think I will be having a canopy as large as yours. I have a small set up in a small space, 240watt lighting. With 4 trees i'll probably have the same size canopy that you have with 1.

that size isnt even that good for one plant. 4 will suck it dry so fast they will have issues. larger is better and easier

personally i would not put any untested strains in any container together. use 5gal buckets, one plant per bucket until you know the sex and how they grow. the yellow and black strong boxes would be good for 2 big plants, 27gal.
