Is there a general gallons of water per plant ratio for a bubbleponics system? The grow box I'm looking to buy holds 10 gallons of water and 8 plants. How many plants do you guys think should be grown with such accessories?

Anything less than 5gal per plant makes for a ton of work and lots of ph issues.

Thats fine for a short veg but not near enough for flowering. Just a big mess of root rot waiting to happen.

it all depends on how large you are growing them, what you are suggesting i would use with "single cola" dominant type strains. using clones (so that all of the plants require the same nutes) and can be flowered as soon as they are rooted. p.s a half turn of each net pot will be needed at least once daily if you wish not to have your roots tangled.

I agree and have experience the same thing. Figuring only a two week veg from clone I took 12 to finish they got to about 2 half feet tall each I also removed a lot of side branching to keep the main cola chipper. easy peasy
