It depends a bit on your lighting. but if you're using HID's with under 4 feet of headspace, I would use about twenty or so 1-liter soda bottles and grow SOG style. Or use one 5-gallon bucket and SCROG a single plant. You're not going to have much vertical height for anything else after your pots, plants, lights and the optional filter.
If you're using LED's or fluorescents, you should be able to get about four 3-gallon buckets or a single 18-gallon rubbermaid, which again, you could SCROG in. Or if that's not your thing, you could fit 2-4 plants in a rubbermaid that size. Some people advise against multiple plants in a single container. I've found that if they're not large plants, and they've been adequately spaced, they will grow just fine. But again I would recommend SCROG'ing over that any day.

What size goes with 600w HID's?

Your pot size isn't really relative to your light size. You can use any size pots depending on the style of grow you are going for.To KISS:Just remember that however large your cannabis plant is above the soil line, you'll want nearly just as much space below the soil line for the roots to grow optimally.

its all on plant size sea of green you can go as low as half gallon pots now if you want too scrog a plant to cover that 600w light I'd go with a 30 gallon pot or so. this guy simond on here uses 2 gallon pots lst and he does pretty good.
