Too many plants?

Hello guys, I am starting a new grow may 1st, in a 4x2x7 tent with 2-3 area 51 xgs-190 leds. If you about to say something about LED's, stop please, not what this thread is about.

My question is, is 1 plant per sq foot too much ? I want to keep overall cycle time short, 3-4 weeks veg(maybe too much), they will be in coco hempys. I have experience with DWC so hydro isn't an issue for me. What training methods would work best with this space ? Topping or LST ? I have done scrog, and its great, but also inhibits the ability to move plants in case of emergency, NOT an option. Would you do less plants?

Should also mention, im doing the hempys in 2 gallon buckets.

lollypop those girls and grow

WATTAGE AND LUMEN OUTPUT?
also just lollipop them, leave 1/2 to `/3 at the top and that will nr enough elimate all bushyness therby giving u more light to the other plants

LED> meh, HID FTW! ---AS a rule its usually 100 watt of hid per plant, i tend to try get 150 per minimum but watever floats your boat man just check the output of your led compare to a matching hps then ther u go if its the same as a 600 then run 4/5 if the same as a 250 run 1 lmao...

is what it is, u could get far better results for less money, but anyways thats not the subject, good luck
oh yeh and get sum airpots. 10l for flower

Well the ventilation will not be the greatest, it will be in a closet with no heat dump options, I will have a 6" fan, but nowhere to vent it but the closet, so HID is NOT an option, also using LED for more efficiency, 1gpw is more reasonable with LED than it is with HID. Like I said though, not my question, i've done my research on LED, these are top of the line and people pull amazing results with them, someone in the LED forum did 8 oz with 1 of these bad boys.

I've used airpots, they're SHIT, have to water them super carefully or it shoots out the sides everywhere and makes a giant mess, not for me. I am doing hempys in 2 gal buckets, so container size is irrelevant.

Would I be better off doing 3 plants and LSTing them ? Also, lollipopping would not work too well with this small number of plants, unless I did more than 1 top.
