Yes… easily too if you ask me haha. Running 50 plants or more is achievable in that amount of space too if you ran a SOG

@Hogmaster, @MattyBear,
lets do some quick math…
my space is 5.5 sf and holds 20 plants so i use 0.275 sf per plant,
4x8= 32 sf / 0.275 = 116 SoG plants, wow, LOL.! think i’ll stick to 5.5 sf.!!

i think we just established that a 4x8 tent can hold 1 - 100 flowering plants.!!
u want sufficient lighting for what ever area u want to cover.
what kind and how much light do u have.?

I have one 400 watt mh/hps now but will upgrade when I get my tent. I’m hoping 1000 watts will do the trick but will do what has to be done for the grow.
a 1000w HPS will cover half the 4x8 tent and definitely finish 3 plants.!
can the 4x8 be divided in half so u could veg on one side with the 400w MH and flower in the other side with the 1000w HPS.?

It all depends on how big you want your plants to be.
Do you pay for seed or cut clones for free, because if your seeding it all that cost will be a bullet to bite.
For example you an run 2 good plants in a 2x4 and 4 in a 4x4 so I would say you can easily run 5 plants but could fill it out nicely with 8 plants.
You could also run a bunch of small plants. It all depends on your style and your variables.
If you want to veg then run a small portion as the veg room not half of it, your veg room doesn’t have to be big at all 4x2 veg spot possibly

I only want to grow three at this point. Just wanted to know if they had enough room to grow in that space. I’m going to get the ILGM haze mix pack. From what I gather they all grow differently.

2x2 per plant… That’s why they don’t really sell tents smaller than 2x2 lol.
You have tons of room, be sure to start a couple. Extra Incase they don’t all survive or some are males. Go after the strongest females and toss the rest if need be.
Best of luck

I have a 4x8 I traded for a 4x4. If you have enough lighting I say go for it.
As everyone else mentioned, it basically depends on the size you want them to be before flowering. If you have trees, you can fit fewer. If you have short bushes, you can have a lot.
I like to veg about 2 months. I think I was 2 weeks short of making this goal this grow. I have 5 in a 4x4 and I feel in my opinion I’m doing well on space. There’s still some working room, but I wouldn’t mind it a little tighter.
Things to consider like training take up a bit more room, as does topping. As long as you have a plan, you’ll do fine. @Dman1969

Holy hell thats nice That would cost a lot of money to get that thing let up very cool I must like to let mine stretch and my 4 x 4 I did 4 plants Max was all I could get in there That I was comfortable with I don’t like them touching each other touching the walls but they still did and if you pack them it’s a pain to water

@Dman1969 You should really look into a light mover

You can reduce your lights with the light mover
