pot sizes in a 2x4 & number of plants

[NamasteDaze]

Ok so this is my fourth grow, but first using organic soil and BioTabs. Previous grows were in coco with 5 gallon fabric pots and I grew large autos. 2 plants would fill the 2x4 tent. My germination rates have been dismal until this grow!

So my problem/question is I have a 2x4 tent and all 6 seeds successfully germinated. Seeds are 8 week FastBud strains so will tend to be smaller I think.

1. Can I fit all 6 in a 2x4 tent using 5 gallon fabric pots in organic soil using BioTabs?

2. I could do mix of 3 5-gallon and 3 3-gallon.

3. Or all 3-gallon pots.

Leaning towards 5 gallon pots and seeing what happens, but welcome feedback from experienced organic soil growers.

Thanks in advance.

I'd say go for the 5gal pots! If you have a 2 by 4 tray, it would be great. Individual saucers for the pots may be a problem fitting them front to back, but you may be able to stagger them with more side to side room. Take your saucers and lay them out to see

State what strain is and maybe someone here has grown it to give you some input.
@St. Tom Can give you input on bio tabs and what to expect with the pot sizes.

I think I would top them all also!!

@WildBill Thanks for the feedback.

Fastbuds autos 2 of each - Lemon Cherry Cookies, Banana Purple Punch and Papaya Cookies.

I think you could do 5 gals. It'll be tight and you'll have to stay on top of defoliation.

I dont grow many autos but I've done 4-5gallons in my 3x3 my tent was stuffed from corner to corner, but they were photos with a 4 week veg. So I assume that 6 autos in 5 gallons will REALLY fill that space. So as long as you defoliate and prune to keep the airflow moving later on you should be fine.
