As stated in title, I am working with a 2.5" x 4.5" foot grow area, I am trying to get help in calculate how many plants I can successfully get in that space and what size pots I should be aiming for.

They will be under a 400w hps light.

Are you doing a SOG or trying to veg for a long time for taller plants?

Well, initially I will probably do a longer veg. I'm interested in considering SOG, however.

If your goign to be under a 400 I'd probably go for a Sog I dont think your going to get good light penetration otherwise..Even with my 1000w hps the lower branches on taller plants were really shaded Im doing all sog now..
