Hey guys, i'm sure all of this has been covered in other threads but i can't seem to find the exact information i am looking for so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking to start growing a few plants... as many as possible really.
The grow tent i have sourced for my location to grow is 8ft wide, 4ft deep and 6.5 high.

To start with i will be growing from seeds, but once a few are up and running i plan to start cloning.

What i mainly need to know is how many plants can be planted in this space. How many plants per sq ft? The system i plan to use is an ebb/flow system.
What kind of nutrients do i need to be adding to the water and do i need to keep regular check on pH levels?

Also what lights i need and what wattage they need to be. I have been looking at a few with both Metal Halide (MH) lamp and High Pressure Sodium (HPS), but with only one socket. Will i need 400W, 600W,1000W or a combination? At what stage do i change the globes?
Is 18hrs on and 6 hours off correct for the lights or is that only at the growing stage?

I understand with these types of globes ventilation is required, will an exhaust fan be enough or do i need some sort of fan circulating air as well ?

Because it's in a tent will i really need to bother about a CO2 tank on a timer? I have been told to get one and run it for 1hr per day (with the fan turned off).

As you can tell, i am new to all of this so any help will be greatly appreciated.
I just want to get up and running as soon as possible.

Thanks Gibbo!
