Plant numbers for Bare bulb + LED grow

Hello people.

Quick question regarding a barebulb\vertical grow I am thinking about doing.

i have a 600w and two 140w LEDS to utilise.

Originally i wanted to put 6 plants in my 120 *120cm tent, but i am now considering only doing 2 plants with a 140w led at the top each plant.

Do you think 2 plants can make full use of the bare bulb in the middle with proper training of the plants. I was planning on using a vertical scrog and training the 2 plants round a cage. I would do more but i want to keep plant numbers down for legal reasons.

I did 6 plants last time and the LEDS didn't cover all the plants, and there were also fighting for space. I now and considering just doing 2 monster plants instead,

I am obviously prepared to veg for longer to get a similar yield as before.

I was just wondering if you think 2 plants on either side of the bulb would be a waste, or if you think i can train just 2 plants around the scrog cage successfully.

Thanks in advance.

i would do at least four to speed up veg time, and to make sure i don't have empty spaces wasting light. fewer plants will take more time to veg, or you end up wasting light and have a smaller yield then you should.
