i have a 4 x 2 flower tent with almost 600 LED watts coming from the wall. I use soil as my medium

I am not new but i definitely consider myself a beginner still. What is the best way to use up all 8sq feet of my space?
i have 5 different flavors I am going to run
koshersmurf #1
koshersmurf#2
Element 9
Smurfberry
9lb hammer

is a scrog the best way to fill up the tent? I mean a scrog not just trellis supports. Is 5 strains too much to scrog out in the space?

thanks

I scrogged a 2x4x6 with 4 plants in it, you almost have to with the height restrictions I had. Not sure how long you are planning on vegging, but if you want to train a plant to multitops and veg for more than a month you may want to only run 2 at a time in there as things get crowded fast, also be careful to try to run similar structured plants as it gets difficult to control canopy on a tall stretcher and a short Bush once the screen is in place

i was thinking the same thing. I could scrog but then I cant run as many as I want to. Or I can put them all in 2gals with one or two 3gal pots and grow them that way.

When I did it I had one plant that threw tons of branches when it went into flower(looked like monstercropping but wasn't) and with it being so crowded it got light stressed in the lowers and nannered pollinating half the crop, so yeah definately leave em some room, I harvested 8 oz. From that round. The next round I ran in there I just finished up, with only 2 plants in 3 gal smart pots I got 99 grams from one (minus test samples that didn't get weighed) and the other I'm still trimming but it's at least as much. So 2 plants 7 ish zips vs 4 plants 8, easy choice in my book:peace:

Edit:didn't do any training on the 2 plant run, no net either, just lollipopped before flower

Damn very nice. I am leaning to growing 6 or 7. i ran 4 and got almost 9zips. I top and lst. this run i am just going to keep the top 20 inches. i have a duolux600 and it is great for about 20 inches deep. Anything lower than that was lower quality. I will lollipop under than. I will keep you posted through this post
