It's got nice stiff strong branches so you can easily do a little bush. You could just as easily flower single-cola 'lollipop buds' in a sea of green. You'll want to do that later, with clones, though.
In an 8 x 5 I'd run 12-18 plants trained to multiple tops, and finished in 3-5 gallon pots.
Later, when you have a mom, SOG is more efficient.
