ok i want your guys opinion

I have 2 400 watt lights and a 4x8 growing area. Im germing a bunch of fem indica seeds that ive grown once before. My first instinct is to just do as many plants as i can in that area in 2 gallon buckets(fox farms organic soil) But now im thinking i dont want to go through all the work of managing that many plants. Now im seriously considering just doing 2 plants. Each in their own 5 gallon buckes, and just vegging the shit out of them and lst each plant(possibly using a frame with chicken wire?) so they fill the whole grow area. What do you guys think? Is it worth it to just plant as many as i can or am i risking too much by only having 2 plants?

i would plant as many as i could and then select the best females out of the bunch to mature and scrap the others or move somewhere and put em to seed

You want to start off with like 6-10 and end up with 2-6 good ones.

ya i planted 15 last time and had to throw away all but 6 of them(fuck fungus gnats) when i transplanted them from their dixie cups some of their roots were half gone. I could see literally thousands of eggs growing on the roots(it was nasty). i lsted them and had them in 5 gallon buckets but i didnt do it right because i probably only used 3 gallons of soil per plant. I ended up with 9 ounces and i was happy with that but this time i want it to be alot better. Plus this time i will have outside cold air coming in, last time i didnt have that.
