How many plants?

My tents roughly 30x30 and I’m wondering how many autos I can fit in there. 9 9x9 square pots or 4 12x12? I’ve only ever grown 1 at a time in a 5 gallon, lst’d. Only trying autos because I’d like to get them in and out as fast as possible lol, thanks

How about doing a dry layout in your tent? Place your pots with space in between each for anticipated plant growth width.
They are autos so your probably won't top them. Or maybe you will :P

in a tent that small I would limit it to 4 plants with no training. 1sq/ft per plant in commonly used with SOG.and training auto's can reduce their yield

you could run 9x 1 gal pots for a SOG

I have a 36"x36" with 4 autos in 5gal pots. and its stuffed full
I topped and lst my autos as well

My grow space gives me about 18" on center for each bucket. That usually gives enough room for a decent structure but if I have a strain that is just unruly, it can get a bit tangled. I wouldn't try to run any more than 4 pots unless you're trying for a high turnover commercial type grow, then 9 small pots would work.

smallish plants that have been trained a little are about 18 inches across. Plant numbers are unimportant for yield to some extent. What is important is primarily how full you can make your canopy, and secondly how quickly you can get to this point. That is where plant numbers come in with regs. The faster you want to flip those, the more you need.

With autos, you are going to need to grow one out, while taking notes, so you can use the info to calculate the best way of filling the canopy, as you can't control it with light.
