I personally would go with 4 instead of 5. Things will get crowded in there - even with 4 dude.

I have 8 under 2 x 600w, in a 120cm x 240cm x 200cm tent & that is the maximum that could possibly fit. I have had to do quite a bit of leaf removal to keep the air flowing & the light penetrating as they get very bushy!

They definitely don't need a lot of food in the early stages. To be honest this was my first Auto grow & I mildly burnt them early on in week 2 by mistakenly following my photo-period schedule. If you have an EC meter I would start on:

0.6 ec - week 1
0.8ec - week 2
1.0ec - week 3
1.2ec - week 4

I fed them grow nutes till week 6 which is when they stopped stretching & I am currently running 1.5ec at week 7.

Good luck

Ok I have a few questions for you guys on this post about your HFV's. I'm on my second grow and I made it through my first one rather successfully. I have a PPM meter that I've only used once and that was to get the proper water. I now use the RO water from the machine at my local walmart because someone suggested me to do so on here. How important is it to check the ppm and how often? And if anyone is having difficulties managing their smell, I highly highly suggest picking up some ONA gel. It works wonders!

If you are growing in hydroponics, then ideally you should be checking that along with your PH & temperatures every day & correcting/adjusting where needed.

Funny you should mention Ona gel because that is exactly what I am going to use come trim day. These things stink haha

mine smelled a bit like coffee when they were growing, then quite sweet when i chopped 'em. i just had a quick sniff and i thought they smelled a bit like cucumber! at no time yet have they actually smelled like weed.
mind you, so far i haven't cured anything and barely dried the bits i've smoked!
my sense of smell is rubbish anyway.

Funny you mention Cucumber because i definitely picked that up on one of them today! Almost herby with it.

I put the quart size in my grow room and within an hour the entire house smelled like fresh linen lol.
