First time grower - Input appreciated

[nugsinspace]

Hello everyone,

this is my setup.

Closet: 545 x 565 x 1600 mm (just under 2 by 2 feet and about 5 feet high) mylar covered and well vented.
Lights: 250 W CFL both 6400K and 2100K-2700K
Pots: 11 liter (3,5 gallon) soft square pots, may be able to get larger ones
Medium: Soil, good dutch one
Strain: Northern lights and OG Kush also good dutch ones
Nutrition: Root, Grow, Bloom
PH and humidity: Under control
Knowledge level: Have read some
Experience level: none

Question (1 out of many to come): How many plants should I plant in this space using some minor tricks such as super cropping and lollypopping? Obviously different answers since NL in smaller than OG.

Any suggestions concerting plant number and pot size (the two factors I can change at this moment) are hugely appreciated.

Best regards,

Nugsinspace

My answer is 1 plant with plenty of room and light can yield way more good buds than 2-3 plants crammed in a small area .

As devils lettuce said, too many plants (4+ would be too many in that space) will just mean they are all competing for light and shading eachother, resulting in lower yeilds.

In that space (which is similar to mine) my advice would be to start with 3-4 plants, then only continue with the 2 healthiest plants (i.e. throw out the other two) once you are a week or two in and can see how fast each seedling is developing.

Many thanks.

So one or two.

Then to the other question. If I go with one, should I aim for a bigger pot?

Best regards, Nugsinspace
