2 or 4 plants?

Let's say I have a setup for four plants with two 240W LED bulbs, however, only two seeds germinated. Is it worth continuing with just two or should I try to germinate more seeds? What difference would this have in the final weight result?

So if you have 2 instead of 4, no problem. Train the 2 you got, or scrog them to fill out the tent space. Starting more seeds and expecting to add them in to existing plants your canopy is gonna be all over the place. I'd just make the best out of your situation and scrog em.

Look, it really is down to 2 things for me. Is this a strain I know & more importantly like. Will 1 r 2 strains tickle your taste buds. As a crop can take 4-7 months if you wanna grow 2 huge ones. I will say with DWC. plants need much larger areas. At least 60cm2. I've 22 plants in a 1m2 tent. I'm still strain hunting. Yes, I'm growing 2 r 3 strains I've done before. But, I'm doing them big. So I've put in 11 autos 11 females. 6 autos are in flowering another 1.5 months or so. And that space will be free. Then my 1 wk old fems will be flipped once I get my autos done. I do run my light at 70%, and keep the most developed ones and ones in pre fower under it. And my fems they take the sides. I've only a 300watt atm in my 1m2 tent. Also. I've a 70cm2 tent I keep as a dark tent. And 3 of my autos now only like 16hrs of light or they droop really bad. So its all about your end goals. Mine is taste and test as many as I can. When I find strains I like from my last crop. I've got 3 in my tent now. Yes, a few of my autos got stressed..as I started out with my 70cm2 and left them for 2.5 weeks. And sadly 3 flipped due to stress. My other autos I started in their and will finish in these pots are still in veg. So. My advice. Plan for 4-6 with the hopes of bringing 4 to harvest. You should always have backups especially if you're a new grower. More eggs and all that. Feel free to mes me about dealing with space and how to get the full benefits. Throw a few autos in. And, hey if you haven't the space. Send 1 to the gelatine

less plants = more time in vegetation to fill the tent space= smaller gr/w/m²/weeks spent "veg + flo"

I would say it depends on how big your tent is, how big your pots are and if you are willing to invest way more time for veg Phase. Even with one plant you could fill out your tent, for example with scrogging but it would take So much more time and you would need a big pot for this. I probably would germinate more seeds right away and hope to get all on one Level which is still possible. All the Best
