Number of pot in my grow tent

Hi guys!

This is my first post I hope to get some help from you guys. It is my third grow, but first time with bigger tent and scrog.

My setup is:

Tent: 8x8 ft (2,4m x 2,4m x 2m)
Lights: 4x600W HPS (MH for veg)
Grow medium: coco coir
Pots: smart pots 5gallons
Nutes: canna coco a+b, rhizotonic, cannazyme, pk 13/14, cannaboost and calmag(if needed)
Feeding: automated top feed once scrog is set up.
Intake, exhaust, circulation fans and carbon filter.
Techniques: topping, LST and SCROG
Strain: blue dream feminized seeds.

I’m going to scrog, and I going to top them twice. Because of the law I want to keep number of plants down.

My question is how many plant should I have in my tent?
Should I go with 5 plants or 9?

I want to cover the whole tent with canopy and I am looking for maximum yield.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I fill my 4x8 scrog with 1 plant = 10 week veg
2 plants = 6 week veg
3 plants = 4 week veg.
p.s. I do dwc

If you do 1 per light and fill canopy you will gross just as much as if you did 2 per light and fill canopy. 8x8 is still 8x8 no mater how many plants you do. I've seen 5 per light with a 2 week veg fill a 4x8. It's really up to you... 4 plants would save you half the amount of nutrients compared to an 8 plant grow.

I have a 4x8 setup that I run 6 plants and it fills it way up. Running 1 600 WATT HID (mh/HPS) I use this tent from start to finish with either a dirt setup or RDWC.

Thanks guys.

If I run 1 plant per 600w hps, how long you think I would have to veg to be able to fill all the tent with canopy when flowering?
