My setup is much different than most but due to my career it’s what I have to deal with. I have a 4x2 tent and once I transplant from solo cups into my tent the plants won’t be touched until veg is done, then they won’t be touched till getting near harvest. No pruding no training nothing. So I’m unsure of how many plants to run and how big of pots to use. My max is 4 plants due to legal restrictions. I will have an remote duel camera setup that will monitor how close my plants are growing to the light and I can remotely raise my light right, using an automated watering system as well. Have it figured all out, just not purchased and setup yet, aside from the plants. I’ll be running the same strain but not sure what that strain is yet possibly auto cheese CBD. ---

I would say 4 max 3 would be very comfortable. I stick with 3 autos a tent maybe the 4th will be added when I start a new auto. Here’s pics of what I’m talking about ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/8/e/8e357e3af17a8865bcf875e12a36b072ce5bab06.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/1/2/1238934b051a6df36193ecbd57cb37d7a5d23e12.jpeg) I hope this gives you an idea or helps you and yes these are autos ---

Nice plants, you should switch to smart pots. What size of pots are those? ---

If using 5 gal pots I would do 2. 3 gal pots I would do three. JMO. ---

But, very soon, 2 of those plants will be harvested. If all the same age, 2-3. If doing a staggered grow, you can get away with more. ---
