New Grower Boutta start growing - need space advice

[south]

So i have a 3x3 400w HPS aircooled tent and i'm planning on having a: 1 think different, 1 white cheese, 1 auto bubble, and 1 auto mazar under a screen of green to maximize my space... my question is... will this be enough?

Some extra info... they'll be in 3.5 gal airpots, i'll be feeding them with biobizz line of nutes, and i'll be shooting for 2 ounces per plant.

I think its gonna be very cramped in there. A 3 gallon pot grows a big plant.I have a SMALL TD plant that i stunted and its 18" high but 24" wide in a 3 gallon smartpot. 2 plants would be good in there,3 at the max.

How tall is your space? Sounds like you have a great start!

Hey man. 3x3 is a decent little area. But yeah with 3.5 gallon pots and two being TD and AM(which are known for their large size and yield) I'd say it'll get crowded too. But you could easily fit 4-5 strains that don't get huge in there. Or do them all in smaller containers.

My tent is 5ft tall total.. but the reason im trying to keep the 3x3 is cuz the 400w hps covers just about that entire area sufficiently. i could upgrade to 5x5 but id have to buy an extra light.. so many possibilities lol

 

[The Squid]

Understandable. But I might shoot for less plants, smaller pots or different strains. I dunno, just think it will get crowded and they'll be competing for light. Best of luck.
