Shit, you have lots of light, so why not use 5-gallon pots and grow some big mamas? I used 2-gallon pots once, and the plants were relatively puny compared to the plants that grew out of 4-gallon pots -- half the size, maybe even a third the size. Large root mass = big plants = lotsa bud.

I'd try 12 big plants (4- or 5-gallon pots). If you're stuck on the smaller pots, then I'd try 18-ish and see how it goes, then adjust as necessary for next time.
jamstigator Reviewed by jamstigator on . how many plants can i put in my space? I have a 4'by8' space with two 1000w hps. I plan on doing soil and need to know how many 2.5 gall pots I could put in the space. P.E.A.C.E Rating: 5
