I would say 4, but that all depends on plant/container size. I would keep my res temp @ 68F.

I was thinking you could put 7 or 8 in it if you used 4inch cubes. But I don't know.

I have the same system, and my 5 plants that are about 3ft tall is pretty crowded
So id say you can start with 6-7 and discard the weaker ones later on when you run out of room.

i run an s.o.g. with botanicare trays...those 2x2's and 2 2x4's anyway i put 16 in each of the 2x2's so the big ones get 32.
also fyi these tables are not true 2x2's so you'll need to use 5.25'' square pots to fit all 16 and of course lolipop the plants and yield round 3/4 oz to 1.25 oz per plant. if you add co2 expect more. cheers and good luck

Probably a stupid question but, does lollipop mean u cut the bottom branches off like half way up the plant?
