How many ladies can fit properly?

I am using a 8x8x7 tent with 4 600 how many ladies can properly fit in space for optimal grow? Want to use 5gal buckets w ss?

between 12 and 36 depending on your grow style and expectations.

I'm guessing 36 is more of a sog I would like less in numbers with bomb smoke and above average yields

36 would be a sog in a 4x4. In your space, I'd go 25 (square array) or 28 (staggered array). Jmo. cn

Have you considered the amount of time and work a room that size requires?

1 sqft per plant is needed

I suppose a skilled gardener could do 6 plants in a scrog. yield of which i have no idea.

I believe there are documented grows with success of 4 plants per sq/ft

I'm currently doing it now but not in that size pot. So I have good idea of the work I just wanted to get better understanding of lay out with that size pot how many I could fit under the lights.currently have 9 under each but in way smaller pots

with that space and light you can do whatever your heart desires... I perfected the sog and scrogg only cause I have limited verticle space (5.5'), and I wanted to get the most out of my lights I get massive yealds and "only" large colas, but in the sog I have 160 plants in a 3x6 tray nuts huh? (9 plants per sq ft) im curently working with the scrogg method to keep my plant numbers down (18 plants in 3x6 tray). problem there is I have to veg longer. toss up, but fun playing around with different methods. personally since you only have 7' h tent stick with what you have 9 per light should work great. I would lst them ladies so they grow fat and stay resonably short... good luck with whatever your final plans are. show some pics. im gonna sub in to check you out later..
cheers
