Help deciding number of plants to SCROG in closet grow

Just got done building a 24" x 24" x 48" closet grow box with a 135W LED grow light, 4" Can-lite carbon filter & inline fan, and GH WaterFarm unit. I am planning on vegging just one plant for ~5 weeks and train it under the screen to fill the cabinet using LST and FIM. Any advice on whether or not I should veg more than 1 plant in that small of a space? I have 4 water farm units but thought that more than 1 would get too hectic. I have the bucket set up with a float valve that will fill up from a gravity fed reservoir. Any advice is appreciated :eyesmoke: Just got a bunch of seeds in from herbies online, starting off with Delicious Critical Jack Herer

If this is your first run, I would concentrate on one plant. If you are planning on scrog'n then one will be plenty to fill your space. I have a 3 1/2' x 5' space filled to the brim with 2 plants!

Rule is 1 plant per square foot. I would try to fit 6 maybe 9 in there tho.
you can do this and veg them for not long, if you have access to so many clones

if not and you have expensive seeds, plant 3-4 of them at a time and keep the two strongest ones and put them in opposite corners

or plant 2-3 and select only the strongest one

thats what I'd do

thanks for the input! i think i will stick to one waterfarm to not get things too crowded in the space. I'll just veg it long enough while doing LST and FIM-ing to fill the screen. then again it may be nice to do two plants so you can train one in each direction. keep the input comin!

PS i have done two indoor grows before using a 600W setup under the house but gave up battling the bugs. I had 4 jack herer plants that filled a 5x5x10 tent that met their demise due to an overwhelming case of fungus gnats while I was away for a week. point is I have had some experience growing indoors and now i'm trying it again "indoors"
