Could you? Probably. Should you? Probably not. Thats a lot of roots for a little tent. Not to mention a 7 gallon bucket is pretty tall, by the time you get your light, exhaust hose/, fans etc... not gonna have a lot of space left for plants to grow. By the time the plants grow enough roots to justify a 7 gallon bucket they will be too big for the tent.

Hey there good question Yes all 4 7gallon pots will fit in a 2.6 x2.6 tent although it will be a tight fit. If you have not bought a tent yet I would suggest getting a 3x3 tent or a 2x4 or a 4x4 tent those 2x2 and 2.6x2.6 tents are quite small Also I would suggest not getting any tent shorter than 6ft tall you have to remember there will be pots at the bottom the tent and a grow light and exhaust fan and filter at the top of the tent that automatically takes away around 2 to 2.5 feet of the height of the tent

That's a huge dwc bucket for 4 tiny plants. The buckets don't matter.. how long you vege the plants is what matters. as far as resulting size and you have 100% control over that, if they were photoperiods. Autos have too much variation... 4 big ones might be tight, but should be fine more times than not. You'd just have 4 small plants with huge buckets under them, lol.

i can fit 6 maybe 7, five gallon fabric pots in my 32in by 32 in tent which is about the same size as 2.6x2.6 so yes i believe you would do fine with 7 gallons but my concern is the size and rate that dwc grows at. its going to swamp that tent super quickly and you more than likely wont have enough vertical space.

Hey growmie,that tent’s too tight for 4 x 26L DWC buckets. You’ll struggle with airflow and space for training. Maybe run 2 max, or switch to a single tub with 2 netpots if you’re set on DWC. Could also consider coco for better flexibility in small spaces🤞🍀♥️
