How many seeds to germinate for a 5x5 tent?

What is the most amount of plants I could veg for 4 weeks using LST in a 5x5 grow tent? Hypothetically, say I land a high female to male ratio out of this number. How many females can I comfortably flower in a 5x5 while still using LST? This will be my first grow. Im not to scared of low stress training. It seems pretty easy.

SO how my seeds do i need to germ to "hopefully" obtain my ideal female count for a 5x5 tent?? Thanks for any advice.

I flowered 4 plants in 2.5gallon pots, and 1000watt MH/HPS lights. I also super cropped and topped them and the tent was jammed! So if you just do LST you should be ale to fit more than I did.

So I guess I should veg around 10-12 plants then hope to get 5 or 6 girls out of the bunch. How much did you yield from 4 plants? I was thinking of doing 2 600watt since I already own one 600watt. I'll have to study super cropping. I dont really know what that is.

Hey your roots didn't get too tight in 2.5 gallon pots? Normally I see people on here using 5 gallon buckets. or is that just overkill?

Yep, I would say 4 to 6.... I did 6 last run and could not get to the back of the tent. I had to channel my inner ninja everytime I watered just to get back there. I believe 4 decent sized plants will suffice from now on! Too old to bearmy crawling and shit!

I yielded about 1.2 pounds. I would have done better but had to chop 2 weeks early. The topping produced like 6 to 8 tops which is why I yielded so high with 4 plants + the supercropping and little longer than normal veg. And roots did fine, no issues that I noticed.
