Hey whats up everyone.. I just wanted some opinions on how many plants I will be able to grow in a 36x20x62 grow tent. I am thinking 3 regular, or 4 if i go with a auto strain. I will be using CFL's, but the lighting isnt the issue its the size.. With 3 plants it would give each plant about 1 foot in width. I am going to be growing Northern Lights on the 1st run with this tent. The current NL i have growing is no more than 1 foot wide and is about 3 feet tall. That one is being grown outdoors though. So what do you all think?

Hi. How many lights do you plan on using, and what is the total wattage/lumen output? It's worth trying some LST if you're using CFLs to expose as much of the plant to light as possible. With that in mind, I would recommend more than 1ft of horizontal space per plant. I wish I had more space in my box, but if you plan to LST during your grow, give yourself at least 1.5ft width per plant. The strain I'm growing is a NL dominant cross. Both my plants are super bushy, but only due to the LST they've received. If you let them grow straight up, they'll probably reach around 3ft in height. With CFLs, though, unless you have loads of them positioned all over the tent, the lower half of the plant won't get much light.
Good luck, and I'll keep checking for your grow journal.
