It is hard to do a Sea Of Green in one table. Your nutes change and you can not flush. SOG, half of the plants are 4 to 5 weeks behind so you get a harvest once a month. Half come out half new go in.

I would go with the 3 inch netpots.

In a setup with that many an autoflower would work great. Whatever you put in there needs to be put in flower at about 8 inches tall or 4 sets of branches to keep them really short.

Do the math, 36 sticks with 1/4 ounce or so on each. About 9 ounces. Sounds good.
