four flowering females is ideal...6 is about the max. in a 4x4 floor space

Without knowing the size of your tent or room it is hard to say but here is a graph and chart I found online so credit goes to the maker ( CaliGrower ) I'm just passing on the info. With these you should be able to figure out the optimal lighting for your room size. Just remember with indoor growing you need to replicate or improve upon the plants natural environment.

It's six feet hight four feet wide an four feet deep

In that case I agree with Dutch 4 would be ideal 6 Max. I am a MMJ patient in CO and I grow 6 plants 3 veg and 3 flower I have ordered a 4x4x8 the extra height is because I prefer sativas and have 9 foot ceilings with one more tent to follow. So with 3 in each tent my girls will have plenty of room to grow and get good light all the way down.

It depends on how you do it, if you FIM and train the plants you can grow a few short wide plants with flat even tops so there is better utilization of the light or you can grow more tall plants with a main cola so less light gets to the lower buds. I like short and wide for the best yield of high quality buds and bigger pots mean bigger roots means more production in the same space.

I've done 12-16 under a single 400w in 3 gallon bags. Yield over a lb. So that is good in my book.

I need your recipes to get yields like that from soil to what you feed them I want mine to turn out like that

Damn Shovelhandle not to hijack thomas2681's thread but what method was that? SOG, SCROG, LST??????

I flowered 13 females under a 400 watt HPS, my first grow.

but...I had a dark room near by, so I rotated half every 12 hours...for 60+ days
