9 plants in coco 4x4 tent

I did a run in a 1.2m x 1.2m tent with 600watt, Temps was all over the place strain was incredible bulk hit 12 Ounces without the use of PK or anything just a&b.
I did 5 plants under 1 light 6 week veg from seeds in 20L fabric pots. I would aim for around 350-400g on ur first grow anything above is bounus. More is less, I've just started a grow on here bare in mind just started it so no pictures yet but I will have loads of details on my grow and how it's all setup. 2,400watt, Not loads of light but good enough for me to have 1-2 grows a year.
Also mate I would go 20L fabric pots watering once a day water enough so 24 hours later it's ready for another watering, All ways feed with nutrients and never miss a feed mate as it could dry up and lock out you can't over water coco unless its standing in it's run off. If it's really really wet then keep watering it but not as much, I do belive coco hold the right amount of oxgen even when it's saturated
No problem mate come on over and follow me with my new grow im about to start

For me coco has a few advantages over soil. It can come as dry bricks, not sacks that make the postman's knee's wobble. Then you can use it again, almost indefinitely. You can even recondition it while your plants are in it. Washing everything away and starting again. It can be used with beneficial microlife, or sterilised. It's structure holds more air, and is almost impossible to over water with the right sized pots.
Soil was so time consuming for me. With coco it's a riddle and back to use. Soil needs it's own logistics working out. Bringing it in, then breaking it down and getting it out. It can take days to dry if you need to move a lot. All the time with microlife breeding on it. I guess the scale you grow at and the space available are a big part of it, but soil won't burn like coco does. It might not easily vanish every couple of months.
I do like the soil taste, though it does just taste like soil. But that is where my love for it ends.

I've run higher plant numbers verses bigger plants and my vote goes to bigger plants. I use a 5x5 with a dimmable 1k and run 4 large plants at once. Much less trim work and my strains yield nice golf balls sized nugs with very little training, mostly just to control the flop that happens with the weight of the canopy. Hand water A+B once a day. I average about 12 zips from the tops and a couple more total from all the lower material that goes in a hash bin or gets stuffed into raw cones for casual smoking.
