I'm not trying to be rude, and I know you'll get a lot of help, IF you start your own thread.
It's very easy for a thread from different poster to get overlooked in the middle of another, and it's also rude to the Original poster here.
As far as your question, I don't think you'll squeeze 6 plants flowering in basically a 4' x 6' area. It's gonna get crowded, since you have to expect them to be as big as the pot, and you are going to finish in a 5 gallon pot I imagine?
Beyond the size of the plants, you want to leave enough room in there so you can get around between them and water, inspect, etc.

i painted 2 wall yesterday plus the ceiling. other 2 walls are my closet and want to be able to take it apart without being able to tell.
i was looking today at getting a roll of mylar viagrow. anyone know if this is sticky on one side?
$25 for a 4'x25' roll its 2 mil probably not very thick but would help alot.
i have 2 23w (5000k) and 1 13w(2700k) in one of the reflectors. all about 1-2 inches from plant so light loss at the moment not a big deal.
received my ac adapter in the mail waiting on fans now, should be here tomorrow.

I don't believe it's sticky, but if you go to an auto part store, 3M and Permatex make good spray adhesives.
You could probably also find something at the hardware store.
I used a windshield sunshade for one side of mine with sticky velcro strips.

Growing with cfls work and cut costs on electric, but
investing in a hps setup will pay you over and over.
Sure it costs a lot but well worth it in the end.
But whatever you decide to grow with take a look at this
thread, Main-Lining https://www.rollitup.org/subcools-old-school-organics/542308-main-lining-thread.html
Shorter plants but big yeilds if done right.
Good luck growing.

hello everybody mylar is up and def worth every penny.
caulked the corners of my box to get it airtight.
1st pick is the mylar.
2nd shows some lights 9 lights in there is so bright.
3rd is my happy little fellers
4th is the supplies to build whatever i need to make nice dense colas.
5th is pokey trying to make a run at the world.(cotyledons stuck together after being in stuck in seed for 4 days starting to make progress tho)
still waiting on fans in the mail then can work my intake which will be on the left side of box about 6 inches up or so.
exhaust will be right top back corner where the caulk gun is in pic 4.
have a humidifier blowing in there with a fan for now. its keeping humidty around 40% with temps around 73.

Finally received fans today in the mail. mounted and hooked up one for intake and one just to move air around inside my grow.
mounted 1 of 2 for my exhaust. the mylar raised the temp 3 to 4 degrees.
now i can run my cool air humidifier directly into the room all the time without temps dipping at night.
was only between 15 to 20% humidity at night.
will have picks of finished box tomorrow i hope.
she looks much happier with the breeze ruffling her leaves.
watered today for first time since monday. dry weight was 350 grams and wet was 550 grams.
after fully drained was down to 475 grams.

made up a mock carbon filter and taped to my exhaust.(does not smell yet so no need to waste the carbon filter)
running fans on the plant made her stiffen right up.
stepped it up to 3 23w 5000k and one 13w 2700k. ( have another 2 23w and 1 13 w in the room on my tomatoes)
will be getting relocated soon have a feeling she is gonna take off. just about doubled in size in 2 days.
i will say its def liking the conditions its really taking off have a nice 3 leaf on her.
like i said not sure what happened and why i got only one instead of one next to it.
only thing i can think of is it happened when it dried out a bit.
temps are much nicer now staying 78 to 81 and around 28-35% humidity.

Watch the one that's missing a leaf, you never know, that one might end up surprising you later on.

lets hope it surprises me. i was gonna top it for 4 colas but now i am not sure.
might just do it and see what happens probably just get 3 colas is my guess.
may work better that way in my small grow room.
it was a bagseed but looking like an indica dominant plant i would say.
amazing how sturdy and think it is for such a small plant.

really taking off now getting secondary branches out of first nodes.
3rd node has 5 fingers per leaf
amazing little plants we all love so much.
she is short but leaves of 4th node popping out.
pokey is still trying its hand at life. being stuck in its shell the cotyledons became hard and yellow. has a thick little stem and first jagged leaves.
growing slow because of very little light absorption with minimal cotyledons.
i have hope for her tho.

livea is really starting to take off. pokey kicked the bucket i do not think she could absorb enough light not sure tho.
the pot that livea is in is about 5 inches wide.
pics 3 and 4 show a little purple under the leaves its bagseed so no idea on strain.
temps have been between 75 and 83 degrees with humidity around 30%.
still have not finished my box but will sometime this week.
the last pic is t-12 setup with 5 cherry tomatoes, 4 sweet/tangy long peppers, the big pot is some basil and parsley have 1 broccoli.

decided to scrog today first pic thanks to oriah its a masterpiece.
why i decided was the cfl's were gonna be a pain to situate and can let veg longer i think.
the second pic show possible light set up would line the plywood with mylar to deflect heat and light.
that will be 275w with 19,000 lumens. will have more lights from bottom and on sides of walls which will be approx another 10 to 15,000 lumens.
my grow space should be around 40,000 lumens for a 2x2 grow.
still going to top plant in a few days above 2nd node.
transplanted to new pot this morning can see roots in picture.
pic 5 shows undergrowth is really picking up.
any and all thoughts would be helpful except bmeat look but dont spew shit here not wanted.

That screen looks real nice. Did you make it yourself?
How old is your older plant ? Livea ?
