inches in height for what? the rez? you could grow two plants or like 16, depending on the size of the plants, you know?
 
Not sure what your asking for in height. If its the res, its more a question of gallons than inches. I am using an 18 gallon rubbermaid ruughneck as my res. Its actually holding 11 gallons of water during the grow. I have holes cut for 3 plants in that res, but only 2 are currently growing.

As far as height for the plants, thats entirely up to you. If you LST and Scrog you can grow in a much more limited height area than if you just want to let them grow, or top them and let them grow. So your height is really up to you.

As for how many plants, If you are going with a nice HID light you should figure on 1 plant per sq ft from what I have read. And a 400W HPS can handle a 4x4 area, so for a 4x6 you would want to look at 600 or 1000w HPS

i'm asking for size of the res. i have a 63 litre or 67 quart 7" height resevoir wanted to stick 32 plants in it.
 
Thats what, a 16 gallon res. For DWC? Not a chance. I have an 18 gal res, and I am growing 3 in it. Looking at it, the most I could fit is 4, at the very most. As a cloning bubbler you could maybe do it, but you aint growing 32 plants in a 16 gallon res.
