How many plants?

[Kidney Stoner]

Colleagues,
I am going to begin my first run indoors and can defiantly use some feedback. I am trying to figure how many plants I can fit in my 5x9. Details are below.

1) 5x9 gorilla grow tent
2) 21-Mephisto seeds
3) Roots organic soil
4) Roots organic “soul” liquid nutes
5) 2-Spider farmer SF4000 450W LEDS
6) 8” cloudline fan and filter
7) RO water
8) 14,000 BTU AC
9) Humidifier
10) Heater (for winter)
11) SCROG nets
12) Temp 75 Fahrenheit, RH 50% (scale)

I plan to very precisely follow roots organics feeding schedule (staring out -50% and +10% till tip burn then back -10%) and do not plan to apply any top dressing. I also plan to watch/control Ph when watering and feeding but not sure about PPM. These SF4000s now have a dimmer switch but I’m not sure when I would ever dim?? I plan to LST some, but never to much to stress girls out. I also plan to lollipop and defoliate about 2 weeks into flower.

So this is a rough draft of my plan after all my research. Still not sure how many autos and photos I should/can run. Oh and with photos I plan to super crop and lollipop to the tip before flipping. Any insight and feedback is greatly appreciated!

In my experience I would have to say as far as how many that depends solely on pot size and strain for example I can run 12 blue toof24 in 1gal pot but only a max of 2 maybe 3 if I'm running hubbasquach in a 2gal pot so a bit more info is needed there. Now the ppm deal it's a good idea to have a ppm meter in case but shouldn't be a necessity with those particular nutes, now the dimmer should be used till about day 30 or so bumping it up 10% to 15% every few days till it's 100% the reason to do this is to save money on electric now I personally let my plants grow up to the light with it @100% bc I've found the height @ which I get great results and don't have yo muck around. Now last will stress them a but the key is to keep it minimal to not stunt it stress is good for them even brushing the leaves by hand is enuff for them to produce defences ect as for lollipoping I try to remove branches right before stretch and then mid stretch defoiliate to give them time to recover.

Mephisto has strains that are 18" tall, and strains that are big enough to fill a 4x4, and strains of all sizes between... pot size is a big factor... as is your growing skill.

I can tell you running my setup at your size (5x9) I would run 12 of Mephistos medium medium/large sized strains in 3 gallon bags. I would expect canopy coverage wall to wall, and I wouldn't scrog, I'd top and let run, pull the branches out and let go. You put a net in and you can cause yourself major headaches getting in to tend to the back plants. Chances are if you have a bangin' run, you might need a yo-yo or two, but that's it.
