It really depends on the size of the room, what you want to do, are you doing vertical lighting or overhead air cooled, etc etc? With 2 vertical 1000 watts, you could do 6 plants like I did. The overhead lighting is not necessary it just can help. With the vertical lighting, stretch is far more controlled as well since the light isnt above. If the lights are overhead and aircooled, I would do 8 plants but I would suggest topping them because to maximize your overhead light you need to spread the canopy out. With vertical lights, its better to have a taller plant that can take more of the light.

You can do A LOT with $1500. Per 1000 watts i would go with 5 plants in 5 gal buckets. Spread to like 25 square feet (5' x 5'). Topped 2x.
You only need like a 400W MH to veg them out enough to take advantage of that 1000W.

I have a room rougly 6x8 that will be used for the sole purpose of growing. No need to build a closet or anything. I want to spend 1500 or less and be able to grow about 2 or so pounds a harvest.So far I think recirculating DWC is the best method. How would 2 vertical 600W HPS and an overhead 400 do with 6 plants? Where should I put the vertical lights?

khaderama you may be ebel to set some tinge up for $1500$ if you use light mover`s and your room is completed (you do not have to construct your grow room) but 2000 or 3000$ will be closer to the final cost
cost :
2x light mover 200 + $
2 x 1000W 600-700 + $
the hydro setup will cost you abut 30-50$ pr plant (4 plant 4x50=200$)
1100$ that is just the basic setup tho ! ! !
