Didn't you already ask these questions in another thread? Let's keep it all together. :D
 
1. I say you can fit comfortably 2 to 3 2-4gallon pots, but that's my own personal opinion.
as long as you can feed them what they need I don't see why they should be a problem with squeezing your max out of that little tent, if that's the case you can look into micro growing. I seen people grow in little solo cups and start from off the bat from flowering stage lighting 12/12 right after seedling
hatch.

2. I don't know much about lights, I'm still reading about em and finding the way output/input for my buck.
I see on this forum so many growers with different setup and it all either came out with a satisfactory or can possibly be the end of history. T5/LED/CFL all work great seen some great yield and beautiful flowers. it's all about the handling my friend.
My preference right now, I'm leaning toward 42 watt cfl lights 3-5 bulbs for 2 plants. originally someone told me go T5. but after research and consideration I'm just growing small flowers nothing to gigantic and i see 42watt CFL.
 
Do three 5 gallons and let them have some run to breath and get fat! 3 gallon, I would do 6!
Also that's a little much for that bulb I think. I have the 105 w 5u shaped 400w equivalency bulbs with 6900 lumens each and the were like 23$ a piece!

I have 4 and there are some pics in my current grow!
