Maybe if they were all little and you only grew single colas..I have 2 plants in an 18g and they drink half that every couple days.they are 6ft tall though..9 plants in a 10g would be crazy crowded not saying it cant be done but i dont think itll be very effecient..

Your gonna have to veg the plants to about 8in tall or so.Cause a full grown plant that was veged to 12in can get to 3ft real quick..What size are your net cups?You might be able to do 9 but since this is you first time i would go with 6..You can find more useful info from an SOG grower cause they useally grow single cola plants..What lighting are you gonna use?

Awesome advice HYDRO.
Just a lil info I can share on this man. I started out thinking i could fit 4 plants in a 1 ft sq area. Worked out well..The trick is taking cuttings all the same size..Smaller plants are going to get beat out in the race for grow room and light. If u keep them uniform they all get a chance to compete and gain the respect they need from the other plants in the tub..
Measure the sq footage of the lid.. X that number by 4 and thats how many plants u can realisticly grow in this spot.
Next if possible.. Give each cutting its own pot. I started with 3-4 plants per pot.THe stronger ones will dominate the slower growing plants for sure.. Segregation will give them the also added respect/space they need as well.
Think of 10 cuttings taken And rooted and not transplanted till the rest of the cuttings catch up and all have roots on them.
Them Devide the # of plants u can fit in ur sq footage into the amount of 3.5 inch pots u can distribute over the lid.
Trust me its the key bro.
Whatever u do make sure u can place enuff hps lighting over the tubs as u can.. Id say in stealth situations. Stay close to 100 or even 150 watts per sq.ft..Its easy to apply here. Devide the square footage into the wattage of ur lamp for that and figure out if u need to supplement more lighting to ur grow area.

Bro this is greatly possible. Check out al b fucts thread on sog growing and lollipopping techniques. THen apply them to ur particular grow.Just like he says man.
U would prolly fall down if i told u what u can expect from 300 watts with 12 plants in a 3 sq ft area so i wont.

But i can show u this right here.

Awesome man Just know ur gonna have to keep ur temps proper.. Nothing over 85 in the box.. And id stay as cold as possible in the res..Drop some frozen water bottles in daily and get it cold. 60 Degrees is reccomended.
Cool on the setup.. Check out my sog thread and al b fucts info man. I stole it from him.
Multiple plants per rez like this also create deficiencies in nutes.. I have no nutes answers for u but to make sure u plan on getting Something Comparable to Cal-mag.
Im trying to offer my plants a lil bit of everything right now including fulvic acid for uptake..I may Now replace my flower nutrients with micro bloom nutrients tho..
