How many tops per 2 sq ft

So like the title says how many tops per 2 sq ft just looking for people's opinions I have a 2.4x1.2 tent with 2 600w air cooled hoods and 8 pineapple chunk I have already topped them at 4th or 5th node can't remember now then tied them down at the second node of the top then I have topped them and was then planing to top 2 more when they have caught up hence tying the main 2 down I hope that makes sense

I would say 9 tops max per sq foot. 4"x4" space per top

Do you think I could manage that that's 36 per plant in 2 sq ft I think it would be possible in a scrog with less plants training them but I have 8 in that space do you think I should have four main tops and top them all 3 times or would twice do and let some side branches become tops

This is one of them they have been abused a little bit I only get about half an hr to an hr to do anything coz of location and all they have had is a and b nutrients quite skint at the mo and my mate looking after them doesn't really no anything about growing

8 hybrids in 2 sq.ft will not really leave you much room for much training/topping.

Try not to go over 2 main colas per plant & flower immediately after recovery, should give you 8+ tops per sq.ft


Also, why 400+ watts/ft2? Not a good idea at all.

he is mixing up his terms, he mean 2ft sq which is 4 sq ft. 4x8 tent is 32sq ft divided by 8 plants is 4 sq ft each. if you top them twice more you will get 32 tops, which is a max again i say. you could easily do 16 tops each.
