number of plants depends on their size and style of growth, anything from 1 to 20 if youre doing SOG. no need for intake fan just a hole for passive intake

IMO your light is a bit too small for the tent. You should go with 600w in a 2x4. With that said, I wouldn't grow more than 3 in that tent. You don't need an intake fan, passive would work just fine.

it is not too small but you should rotate your plants often and maybe stay in a 2x3 foot print I would put 5 or 6 plants under there and top them young and flower after 5 weeks veg
