I have a 6 bucket 5 gallon DWC system under 1000W. How many plants can I grow? Can I do 2 in each for a total of 12? I am willing to add another 1000W to ensure enought light.

I have a six bucket system....and I do have experience with two plants in one bucket...awhile back I had an extra clone so I put it in my clone bucket with another clone...and they grew together...I could not get them apart so I put them in one of my five gallon buckets and it turned out just fine...ended up being a pretty bushy plant....I have not done that again....but it did work....

I run six buckets with 4 1000w HPS....The state I live in I can only have 6 mature plants....other wise I would try It again....heres a pic

WOW! That is quite some setup!!! Do you really need that many watts and that much space?
 
To do this right i recommend CONSTANT topping Or learning Low stress training... You want big bushy plants.. I dont recommend anymore than 1 plant per 5 gallon bucket... if possible add more buckets

Probably not....when I bought my tent it recommended the 4 1000w lights...at the time I didn't think a 10x10 space was very big....I have no regrets everything works good....
 
If I do a 24/7 for a month It will be 200.00+....12/12 is about 140.00+...this also includes a music studio that is heated a little bit....
