SOG (Sea Of Green)

You could fit dozens and dozens of single large colas. 1 plant per sqaure foot or so.

It really depends on how you're planning to grow - soil, hydro, sog, scrog. You could fit a lot if plants in 16 square feet with the right method.

you wouldnt want these methods with the possibility of males. do 7 or 8 depending on when you want to flower it.. do you have all fem seeds? and yes what will you be growing in?

If dirt try 4 plants and a scrog? Unless you are not worried about number of plants then do a sea of green. Maybe 100 plants in 2 inch net pots. I watched a video once (sorry can't remember where) they had a 4x8x7 with 3 600w HPS and 300 plants in 2 inch net pots. Grew them to about 15 inches tall and yield was over 6lbs.

Yeah lots of small plants. You can maximize your light output by spreading it on an even plane.

Check out this thread their are some videos showing some really efficient setups. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/244215-what-yields-more-40-5-a.html
