Measurement question

[Nickystickybuds]

I know what a square foot is, square meter all that. My question i guess is. When I'm looking at seeds and they say 3-6
Ounces per square foot (yes i realize advertisers exaggerate)
My understanding was 1 plant takes up about 1 square foot. How are they calculating? Container and all or just pants all bunched together?

It depends on how you will train them. I train plants to occupy a 1' X 2' area, so I get four plants in my 2' X 4' tent. Depending on how much room you have and how it's organized, I'd go with 16" X 16" per plant, or 1' X 2' per plant for the first grow of the strain.
