Small tent growers: Yield? or Variety?

3 X 3 tent

2 new (to me) strains -regular, photoperiod seeds

I'm popping 3 seeds of each strain in order to up the % that I will get at least 1 female plant out of 6. I know it's likely that I will at least 1, but you know how Murphy's Law works. If I end up with all 6 being females, then I'm going to quickly get myself into trouble with space. So, I'm thinking of using 2-gallon containers for the 6 plants in order to avoid potential overcrowding. Of course, this will decrease the potential for higher yields, but gives me more potential for unique phenotypes. I'm hoping that with the proper fertigation, the plants will still yield a decent amount. I've seen people who have used small containers and ended up with some pretty impressively-sized plants relative to the container size.

I guess I'm going to go for it, but I'd like to hear from others who have been in the same situation and get their feedback, too. Thanks

For me its yield. Mono cropping. Dedicate all space to what I ran before and mothered. Mini area 51 test site 1’x2’x2’ tent. Perpetual clones. I do 1 plant in a 3x3. Even if I wasnt hash only Id do that, needs to pass the check point even if same strain different seed. I hate unpredictability. I get veriety through out time. I have to follow plant count but could graft.

I have a 3 x 3. I run 4 gallon SIP pots.
I grow 4 plants at a time. The key is short veg times. This last grow I flipped them at 27 days. That worked out just right, pretty much fills the tent but they don't get too tall. If you do get a tall one either top it or bend it.
4 plants is a lot for a 3 x 3. Have you looked into starting them on 12 12 and running single cola plants?

Im in a 2x2 with nine 1gl pots. This is an all clone run. The empty pot in corner is for a male that is currently rooting.
Next run im going to attempt half gallon pots, all 12/12 from seed for pheno hunting. SOG style.


I made hundreds of seeds this year in the greenhouse. Im after one good male from this particular plant, to do some backcrossing and cubing.
