i know im not answering your question but you need to read some grow journals and see what other people with similar set ups are doing then work out for yourself what you want to do.
i have only ever bloomed in a 1.2m tent once, i had 7 plants but it was my first grow, they were different strains and sizes so that wasn't very desirable but i was still very happy with what i got.
personally i think 4 large plants in 20l pots will give you a good medium between time/yield/ quality. growing from cutting is much better than starting seeds, you may need to start your seeds when you begin the 12/12 period, obviously you need a separate area to do this in

Go with 4 in a tent that size they will do well under a 600
me my self i would only do 2 but i like to Veg for longer till they are around 25-30" before flip and use scrog to max yields
as they are autos they will flower under 18 hours of light so you can add more or less when ever you like but don't put to many in there or you will run out of space and limit the plants less is more
good luck

You will lose a lot of yield growing an auto on 12/12. Also if your growing auto's then disregard the info you received on plant numbers and sizes because you'll have no control over how long or short the plant vegs for. I would recommend researching how big your auto's are suppose to get and go from there. You will want more auto's than photo's though because they tend to grow a lot smaller.

Eleven is WAY too many - do them in batches, you would do better to concentrate on four at a time - that is what the manufacturers of 120cm sq tents suggest.
I have the same tent and light as you and I reckon at the very max you can have 6 plants in there - I currently have six - four normal feminized and two autos - in mine, but they are just seedlings at the moment. As they get older I think I am going to have space troubles, but my plan is this (hope it helps):
- The two autos are placed underneath where my carbon filter is, as they are going to grow only 1-2 feet.
- The autos should hopefully be ready to harvest around the time I flip the tent to 12/12. If not they will get a very few days / weeks of 12/12 and I doubt this will hurt them that late in their lives
- Once harvested, the tent will have more room for the other four.
- I am not afraid to cull plants if I find I have no room, and you would do well to think along the same lines - try to plan for which ones you want to keep the most. I know my Super Lemon Haze plants are my priority. I would kill everything in my garden to keep them if I had to. I hope I will be able to muddle through with all four. The non-SLH plants will harvest around 3-4 weeks before the SLH so again that gives me more room to make for the big girls.
I hope this helps.
