Hey bro I am currently doing a large scrogg and I can say one thing. It is all going to depend on how much of a stretch the strain will have during veg. My grow is a photo grow this time and some filled a 4x4 area alone while other only maybe 2-3 square feet. I am doing an auto scrogg next with Think Different and Blue Mazar which I know stretches a lot so I will only use 9-10 in my 10x12 area because I did 20 of them last time without a scrogg and wish I had not because they grew fast and had huge buds that made them all start falling over and I know 9 of them can fill that space tightly... I would find out how much your strain stretches and base it of that. Check out MedicineforMe's scrogg grow and you will see what I mean. He did a 4x4 and had to add on because 5 of them was to much for it and he got a huge yield for 5 of them... With the scrogg you just lollipop everything under the screen and focus the plants energy on the large colas while a SOG you get a lot of bud but not usually as large of buds imo. I would do 4-6 in your size area in large pots like that or start 3 and then start 3 more a month later with a separate net to get your self a perpetual kind of grow and you could also see how large the 3 will get before you start more. Just my $0.02 let us know when you get going. cant wait to see you get started with something....:smokebuds:
