How many cannabis plants can you grow for per square foot grow tent? 2020 Updated

It Depends on Your Style
A common planter a lot of cannabis growers use is a 5 gallon grow pot.

But, it’s not just the planter that determines the amount of space you need per plant.

A HUGE factor is the growing method you use. If you’re just learning how to grow cannabis, then you probably don’t know that there are many different ways you can train your plants:

• Sea of Green (SOG)
• Screen of Green (SCROG)
• Topping
• Low-Stress Training (LST)
• Super Cropping

GROWING STYLE

Depending on how plants are treated, they can place different demands on the space:

• Plants left to grow naturally will take up both height and volume
• Plants that are trained will take up less height, but more area
• SOG will use less area per plant, with lower height requirements
• ScrOG will need more area per plant, with lower height requirements
• Topping, fimming, and LST will decrease height while increasing volume

Training Style: Plants per square meter

• Low Stress: ~4
• Screen of Green: ~1
• Pruning (Topping, Pinching): ~1
• Sea of Green: ~4-16 (depending on vegetative cycle timeline)
