New tent questions

hello all getting a new tent soon its gonna be a 3 foot by 4 foot 2 in 1 tent so a 3 by 3 grow area with 2 1 by 3 grow areas on the side. its 6 foot tall. I was wondering ur ideas on how many plants I should keep in main area if I do autos in 3 gallon pots also lighting id like to change over to full led but wasnt sure what the best option or how much I’d need for that area. its just slightly bigger then my tent now which is a 2 by 4 by 5 tent but more space us more space overall so I wanna get a new set up going to test some things. any input would be appreciated.thanks

You should figure 4 square feet per plant and 60 watts per square foot of canopy space.

60 actual watts or HID equivalant watts? My friend just gave me an old mars hydro with a 2x4x6 tent. Currently have two plants in there that are on week 1 of flower.

I have a Mars Hydro TS1000 light in a Mars Hydro 3x3x6 tent. So far they make an amazing product. Using autoflowers you should be able to get away with maybe 3 or 4 due to their size.

do you let them grow normal or do u lst them? just trying to get max usage outta the floor space too I wanna kinda cycle them in and out and have them at different stages

This time around I’m letting mine grow naturally; no topping. I topped last time and got 4 different plants at 4 different heights. However, at 3 weeks into flower, I will defoliate and maybe supercrop.
