Which technique to use?

Whats up guys.. I'm currently on my 1st grow and already planning for my 2nd.
Right now I have 1 plant that i accidentally topped and it split into four, one plant that looks like a x-mas tree, a clone i just stuck in there which is just growing one fat cola and some others.

I have a 1000 watt high pressure sodium and I'm wondering how many plants should I do and what method? For the longest time i've wanted to do SeaOfGreen but now I'm starting to think it might be extra work and I might have better results with another method.

I know you could probably stick like 10 full plants under a 1000 watt but I've been thinking of just making 5 healthy plants and topping them so they each have 4 colas. That way I will have a total of 20 fat colas with more than sufficient light. The plant that I have right now with 4 colas is so nice.. it by far has the fattest buds right now and there's 4 of them. So what do you guys think, keep in mind im looking for quantity and not quality. Does 5 plants sound like a good number for 1000 watt and should i top to get 4 colas and if I do top them this way should i let the bottom grow or should I make a little Sea of Green with the 20 colas.

Im kinda confused also where to cut when topping for 4 cola buds. The first time I did it was by accident so I don't really know how to do it. Uncle ben says cut the stem above the 2nd true node.. but where is that?

it makes no diff if you have more plants or bigger ones you should get about the same amount of bud

there is a pic of where to cut on the first or second page.the second set of GOOD branches is where you cut for 4 colas, the first 2 leaves dont count.

same ques? here
on a 6 plant; f.i.m technique with 4 colas on each plant, hydro setup, would a 1000 watt hps be ness. or will the 600 watt hps produce similar results?
Thanks for any feedback

Here's 18-20 can't remember exactly under 1000w all in 3.5 or 4 gal pots all topped after second node for 4 colas except for that tall sexy bitch in the right hand corner. It decided to stretch for some reason.
