would 1 or 2 plants be best in a 2x2x5 tent scrog grow?

texastiger707 · Mar 3, 2014

I am getting ready for my 1st scrog grow. I was wondering if I should scrog 1 big plant or 2 small plants in a 2x2x5ft tent. I know 1 big plant will take longer to fill the screen up nice. I know 2 small plants would take less time. I will be vegging with a T5 light and flowering with a 250/400watt hps. I will be growing in coco coir. So tell me what you would do if you had the choice of 1 big plant or 2 small plants. Thank You for your help and ideas.

Wouldn't it depend on pot size? I plan on two plants in 3 gallon pots. Only plan to veg one month.

IMO, if you're gonna veg a month, you won't have room for 2 plants.
I did 5 plants last summer. two in two gal. buckets, one in a five, and 2 in one gal. pots in a 2x2 with only CFL's.
Would show you pics of me swapping out 2 and 3 to keep 12/12, but my old comp. crashed and I lost pics, but here is one in just a 2 gal bucket, with only 14 days veg under CFL's.
She's only now showing bud formation, and I expect it to pretty much fill the space by the time it's time to harvest.
Granted, I don't SCROG, but that only makes them take up more space than you see in my pic.

I litterally just finished a 6 plant SOG in a 2x3. Just tryed my first nug. It was still a little wet but it's got a killer taste (blue cheese), it's kinda funky but sweet. I did 3 blue cheese and 3 pineapple express with like one week veg, I haven't taken an official weight yet because it's still drying, but It's looking like it'll be 6-7 oz out of a 2x3.

As long as conditions are optimal you can do a lot in a small space.
It all depends on lighting, medium condition, water/nutrient regimin, and airflow

Same. The nugs on the BC were definantly a lot more uniform, my PE were all a lot longer and spindaly . However both have medium density nugs. I feel like it was more an appearance thing more so than a yield thing.

I'll post my weights once dry

I don't SCROG either. Just top twice usually. No monster cropping, super cropping or LST either. I'm using 250w Hortilux mh/hps on this new grow. FFOF and GH Flora expert drain to waste.

I'd say one plant in a big pot. Something like a 20l-30l pot

would 1 or 2 plants be best in a 2x2x5 tent scrog grow?
