Depends, I know people that use1k on one plant.

Size of room, style of grow, size of plants, your goals etc

One grow tent, 4 plants.

400 hps covers a 3’ x 3’ area well. And it penetrates about 18” to 2’ into the canopy at 12” over the plants.

Hope this helps.

If you can keep your temps in check, hps is probably the best type of light for a new grower. I prefer LED, but you can't beat the price and reliability of hps for new growers. It just does what it's supposed to with minimal fuss.
