As an American, let me just say I am embarrased that many people in this country, don't know how long a meter is. For some reason we still think that "standard" makes more sense, while for the entire rest of the world metric is standard. About your original question, it depends of course on what growing meathod you are going to be using. you have to decide if you want a few large plants, or a lot of little ones.

good luck

well in nz out door is the majority of weed. i am hoping the plant will rech around 1.5-2 meters (6ft). not too sure on what method i lust plant them in a soil compost mix and let them grow watering every 2-3 weeks. yea americans must be good at there math it is way easyer to worh things out using the metric system. i was thinking of around 25 plants but not sure. last year the plants didnt have much foilage but think that was due to lack of nitrogen and small hholes

i didnt know if that was a problem or not (sunlight) .. scrog is just like expanding your plants to grow alot more bud .. i can't explain it i just know the basic concept .. try searching it for better info
