Get some calmag. Coco needs it.

Veg until they will end up at the size you want. Most strains double or triple in height after you start 12/12.

250 watt hps is good for that area.

even for a 6x6 ft tent 18 plants is a lot. still going to have to go SOG. a 600w hps should work a 1k watt would be better. 1 week veg after sprouting and prob going to want to trim most of the under growth. if your looking for bigger plants go with the Scrog method so you can train for a few weeks

Yeah, more than one (600). Two on movers would be good. Don't know if you can do that in a tent tho. Three would be great. Are you going to fill it totally or leave some space?
Gonna get hot in there. Are you using air cooled hoods?

IDK if you're just trying to get as fast a yield as poss but I always think if you manage your space properly you will get the same yield in a given space from either a few big plants filling it up or lots of little plants filling it up, they will always fill the space available. However, I personally find that you have better quality buds from a few big ones! In a 200x200 I would personally put 6 - 8 at the most, with a 400W or 600W MH/Dual Spec HPS - depending on the level of cooling available.
If you're trying to just bang a crop out A S A P then do what you're doing, cram in a bunch, SOG or SCROG em, lighting as mentioned above

Depends on a lot. My (minimal) experience with blue cheese is that it was not a huge yielder. But you will need to get in there to trim your lower canopy or it will not yield well. I would say with 3-600s you would be doing pretty good at 2.5 o (70g) per plant. Soooo, about a pound. If you can stick four in there without burning everything up, give it a try. I use a 600 per sq m. But have a lot of space not in the footprint of the lights. It makes it easier to keep humity and heat under control. Four seems a lot for a tent.
