in that space 6-8 plants. In theory u want one plant per sqaure foot. Your height may be an issue. Thinking of a SOG setup?

I was thinking three and scrogging. I'm trying to yield about at least 3 to 4 oz's. I'm growing some kush bag seeds from soil and plan to keep the best female and clone from her. Do you really think I can fit 6 in there and what would be the optimum height for the box? I'm one week into seedlings there are ten of them. If i get three good females i will let them flower and then keep my best lady for clones.

the thing about having six in there is how tall they are going to get in that setting. i am going to have 6.5 sq feet and I will have six girls in there but I may have to flower at 8 inches since they seem to double/triple in height when flowering. If you know what you are going, 3-4 will be great, I am sure I am going to mess something up so I want more in case anything happens (like nute burn)

you coud prolly fit 6 pots in there but the canopies will get alot wider than the pots imho. But without exact floor dimensions im only guessing of course.

6 females and maybe experiment with topping and tie training to get an en canopey.tie training is my favourite .works like topping without cutting anything off
