How many plants should I put in my 15 Gallon Totes?

I was going to do a small bubbleponics/DWC type situation. Where the totes will have net pots with the plants in them with oasis cubes and hydroton pellets, having the water level bubble with airstones just below said net pots bubling upwards. Soon suspending the roots into the resivior itself.

With that said, I planned on putting 2, 15 gallon totes what will first just perfectly enough in a 2x4 grow space I have. Now normally I would just put 1 plant. But this time around Id rather put multiples to kinda speed it up a bit since I have about 16 clones that have been vegging for a bit already. Wanting to scrog, supercrop, lollpy pop, etc.

But was curious what you guys would think? I was thinking of putting 2 plants per 15 gallon tote, but since I have so many clones, do you guys think 4 per 15 gallon would be more desirable? Please let me know what you guys what do. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

Gonna take insane amounts of training for that many in dwc in a 2x4 tent....

all the same strain should be doable. your roots will be tangled together big time.

One per tote under SCROG, or, SOG all 16 in their own containers. SOG will speed things up, if that's your goal, but you'll need to change your reservoir plans.

Right on guys! Thanks for the advice!

@Red Eyed Yup! I plan on it lol. I mean to be honest, 1 per 15 gal tote, I know would suffice, but I just want to do more lol! I dont mind the mass defoliage, scrog, and super cropping.

@rkymtnman Yes it will all be the same strain, im well aware the roots will be tangled, not an issue in my opinion as long as their is ample room for the rootmass and they are the same strain.

@TrimothyLeary Yes, I will be doing a SCROG. Although I would desire a SOG, this is not doable currently, especially with my current hydro set up... The nutrients and PH would differ to much per tote. And since I am only using 2 15 gallon totes within a 2x4 grow room, SOG isn't really practical...

However don't get me wrong, I am all for SOG, in fact that used to be my main method when growing indoor soil. And in due time, plan on utilizing a SOG with my hydro set up (When I'm able to expand) But for now as I expressed above, it is a fairly small grow... 4-8 plants in a 2x4x6 lol. So SOG isn't really doable for this set up.

ANYWAYS, thanks all for your guys' advice! I think I got the answers I was looking for. I will most likely do 2 plants per 15 gallon tote. I will make a grow journal soon enough to any who may be interested. Strain Will be Buddah Tahoe.

13Gallon tub with 3weeks of vegetation.. My tent is 4x4 and theres barely room for rotating fan.
