Depends on how long you want to veg them. Consider you have about a 4x4 area of good coverage under each lamp. You can fit at least 16 in smaller pots and veg for a short period of time or you can use the 5gal and fit about 8-10, vegging them longer. I've seen 50-60 clones done in plastic cups w/ no veg under 1 lamp, so it's really a personal preference.

Cannabis doesn't really like to be crowded and will grow bigger buds if given more space around the plant. However, total yield will be slightly more with high numbers of plants spaced closely together. But, that means more work and more trouble should you get pinched.

So, your choice. More and smaller, or less and bigger.
Perp Reviewed by Perp on . How many plants per light Ok, I have tried the search and the FAQ and I might be an idiot but I can't seem to find an answer. I have 2 1000k switchable lights. What I want to know is what is the best number of plants to put under these babies. I grow soiless with sunshine #4, 5 gallon pots and my room measures 10 x 8 x 8.. Thanks in advance for any and all help. :dance: Rating: 5
