More plants doesn't always equal more yield. As above.. it depends on your grow space.

Personally, I'd grow one plant in a 5gl container in that sort of space. Under a 400w HID you should be able to get quite a good yield off of it as it'll get all the light to itself.

In most cases I think 5 gallon pots are overkill for dwarf strains. While you may get a phenotype that will utilize the whole pot most won't. And if you get a runt, it certainly won't use the whole pot. Personally, I'd rather go with more smaller pots than one big one. 3 gallon seem to be about the ideal size for growing dwarf strains. A 400 watt HPS is capable of lighting a 9 sq. ft. area. You can grow about 6 plants in 3 gallon pots in an area that size.
