55" Max with lights? Or can your plant go to 52"? Id flower at 12" Unless you know how tall it will stretch during flower. My last bag seed sativa stretched about 4x its height. Flowered at 12 and was forced to supercrop when it was at 43"

if you have a plant that stretches alot like a sativa you shouldnt get it bigger than 2 feet , if you have a indica that has minimal stretching 3 feet would be good that way they wont get to out of control youll have 3-4 foot plants . but its totally up 2 you , like what strain your running what light are you using , how patient are you ,whats your time frame , are you going to top or lst? , etc..

150 watts do yourself a favor and dont even grow big trees itll be a waste of your time for the yield your going to get 150 watt or even a 400 watt at that wont penetrate more than 2 feet with good results , id recommend you do some heavy tieing down and topping keep them at a foot tall do a few plants if possible then flip them watch a big lil hedge with mutiple tops !
 
Stl buds makes some good points + rep. It's kinda a trial and error thing. The write ups on seeds aren't always that accurate. Try them at a foot and see how it works in your situation. How crowded is it , how the yield are. See how much pop corn buds you get .

I'm in a similar situation, glad your question got answered. I have a similar sized space but I'm using two 150w hps.

If i have a tent with max height 55", what is the best height to flower me plants?
If your using HID's don't forget about Plant/Light Distance. :weed:
These charts should help you out.


The Inverse square rule.




Good Luck on Your Grow.
