5 gallons per plant seems good. DWC??

Aquarium gravel... I think it'd be optimum if you'd buy Hydroton Pebbles or simple BBQ lava rocks... wash them both very, very good. But, if you must use the gravel,... ???

Distance for the 300W HPS? Well, as close as possible, so long as the plants aren't burning.

You're not planning on using one 300W HPS for all 6 plants, are you?
You can do it... but... um... can you get more power? If not... can you try with less plants?

Best,

those are the exact dimensions of my cab.. 1.5'x2'x4'

i run a 150w hps with 60w of extra fluoro lights on the side... my last grow was mango and yielded almost 1.5oz/plant... 3 gal planters, airstone under the soil, fox farm nutes, and was raised from seed under 12/12 due to a scheduling problem my seedlings had to start in 12/12 so i just left them there :/
