So I’m about to switch to hydroponics, going to be my 3rd grow overall. And I am wondering can I have about 3-4 plants in one big container ? (I’ve read about it and yes I would make sure they were all the same strain) of course I’ve read online that you can do it I’ve also read that you shouldn’t do it. But I’m curious and very intrigued to do just because.. anybody have any experience with something like this? Where I could get some input from !

I have grown dwc for a while now and I would not suggest growing more than one plant per pot. That is just my opinion. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

What system do you mean by "Hydro"? Are you thinking SWC, DWC or coco?

Ok cool. I would really suggest one plant per container. By putting them together you are just asking for trouble. Is it possible, sure. The problem is you are just adding things that can go wrong and increasing your chances of issues. Why add more possible issues for your first attempt? Either way best of luck.

I feel you bro but I don’t know if this sounds dumb but I like doing controversial stuff just to see what happens.. I just think it’s kinda fun and helps build my knowledge but yes I think I will stick to one plant per container until I’ve fully done a dwc grow

I get it man but being your first attempt I really think you are smart to stick to the basics first. Learn the new system and than play around. I don't think it sounds dumb at all. Sometimes we like to do stuff others say cannot be done just to see for ourselves, nothing dumb about that.
