Advice Needed on Grow Tent

[bruceirons]

1) How many plants would you grow under a 600 watt hps cooled reflector in a 5x5x7 ft Dark Room grow tent?

2) Would you "train" the plants? tying down? or breaking stems? which is better?


3) Any tips on dwc?

Tyein down is much better. 600 watter ya can push 4x4 area but a little big. 3x3 is ideal. 6 plants would completely cover a 600 watter.

Ya will get more and better weed with less plants. It will be crowded.

i don't know how ebb and flows work.

how much will it cost me?
how many plants can i grow in my tent space?
which ebb and flow should i use?

how do i hold the plants from falling over?

if i use 5 gallon buckets for dwc per plant how many can i grow in the tent?


i've seen people recommend 10 gallon buckets for each plant. is this necessary?
