Grow Cabinet Planning... How many plants?

Hello everyone... I'm new to this, so I'll be asking you guys tons of questions... I thank everyone for their help and time in advance...

Here's the setup: I've got a closet, whose space I can use measures: 20" by 36" and a max height of 60".

My questions:
How many plants can I put there?
What wattage for the light? HPS? MH?

I plan on doing a hydroponic setup, with high quality seeds.

Thanks for the help everyone!

sounds like you can get a nice tub in there.
I say upwards to 8-9 flowering females,
with some LST and SCROG that can help.
Good luck.
I say Hps is a all-around healthy spectrum
for MJ.
250-400 watt will get you some nice buds
the 400watter will just make your nugs denser,
the 250 does a great job.

Thanks 69NovAss...

I have no idea what SCROG or LST is... I know, I know... I'm headed to the FAQs right now ! :)

I'll keep you update...

BTW: Is your name related to a Chevy Nova? It'd be cool if it was... that was the car the really got me interested in, um, cars. I always dreamed of getting a Nova, stuffing a smallblock 427 in there... and, um, never mind... I'm off with my ramblings again... :D

Thanks for the help!

Hell yeah bro its all about the 69 nova here.
Got a L81 corvette motor in her right now
running about 300hp. Looking to beef up the
rear-end with 410gears oh yeah.
please keep us updated.
peace.

NovAss...

I've got a '80 Volvo... a 242GT (two doors). I bought a '96 CamaroZ28 LT1 and a '02 Corvette Tremec T56. For ECU, I've got an Electromotive TEC3 (kick ass system, simply kick-ass).

The car is still in the works, but oh well... aren't they always?
