you can fit up to 9 in 3 gallon pots depending on how you grow them. If you want many tops, bushy plants, then i would say 4. If you dont plan to top, i would say 9. what kind of lighting are you planing to use?

The real question boils down to what type of plants you growing, how long you vegging and what type of lights.... In a 3X3 you could get 7 to 9 smaller plants, 5 good size plants or 3 monsters... would be 4oo w mH to veg, 600 W HPS to bloom dirt, coco, worms and bat mix.... Need lots of air movement

Based on my experience I would go for the 5 good size ones, with a strrain that grows out several good colas... Peace Love Happiness

Thanks for the quick replies guys! I'm using a 600 hps, I just want to know how many pots will fit, I'm vegging a really short time and as soon as there are males they will be killed obviously so yea then ill have 7-9 fems grow nice and big under my 600+ 90 watt led

how short of a veg time are you thinking? are you topping? what size pots are they in now? pictures?

if you are vegging in smaller pots i would suggest you switch to 12/12 before putting them in final pots. Once they show sex re-pot the females and continue flowering.

I would only use that LED for veg, and just the HPS for flower.

Both seeds and light setups are on their way. 10 master kush from homegrown fantaseeds, and 6 chem valley kush from cali connection. 3 week veg. 600 watt mh conversion bulb for veg. Going to top. I dont think more than 3 gals will be necessary for this run

I had planned to fit 9 in my 34" x 40" (600w hps) flower box. Luckily I only got 5 of 8 females (with very little veg time) because once they filled out I realized 6 or 7 is plenty for 2 gallon round pots (10" diameter #2 smart pots) in 1 square meter.

Lol , that's not a pain in the
ass eh? Transplanting three times, worst being for 3 gallon ti 4 gallon only to have yo do it again 10 mins later. Secondly if you think the stress of transplanting a plant in flower is the way to go, you've never harvested over an ounce if j am reading this correctly, this is the bullshit, and idiots that need to be banned from this forum, well if it wants to sustain the lityke creditability it now has left after this shit. WAJ!

I use some 4 gallon square pails 3 gallon fabric pots in mine. and I could fit 9 squares easy if I didn’t have fan and humidifier there
This is 3x 4gallon square pails and 3 x 3gallon fabric pots in my 3x3 tent As you can see I still have space for more
