    I wouldnt have more than 3 or 4 under that light..IMO i think HPS is the better way to go MH is good for Veg but it runs hotter than HPS does

    i would say if you grow vertical you can do 7 plants. some people could do more depending on their style of growing, but imo if they are doing more plants then they will be using a higher wattage. a 600 watt would be better for this set-up but a 400 will work.

    1 plant kept short and bushy by lst placed in the center under the bulb
    6 plants either taller or raised up around the perimeter, and rotated daily or every other day

    the bulb will be lowered down in the middle.

    average grower is probably around .5 or .6 grams per watt.. 6 - 7 ounces under a 400 watt light...better off spending an extra 50 dollars and getting a 600 watt light...more coverage and you can get an elbow per harvest...you should be able to find a 600 watt light on craigslist for 150 dollars.
