I would suggest reading lots, set up your room/grow area methodically and keep it simple once you start germing your seeds. I was tweaking, watching them grow, panicking and all the wrong things on the first round. I was successful to a degree in that I got 2 plants into flower but both ended up being male. This second grow I've got 2 females at 4 weeks flower and super stoked I took a much more hands-off approach and kept it simple.

I am a beginner at indoor growing, but have done outside growing. I agree-read, read, and read some more. I thought my other experience would transfer over no prob, but growing inside is a lot different. From experience I highly recommend starting out with a few plants and get the feel for your system. I found that I needed to make many changes to get everything just right and this is all easier done with say 6 plants instead of 16. I'm pretty sure most of us newbies can't wait till our 3rd or 4th grow, cause your going to learn a lot the first couple times through. Just a thought from someone newer. Good luck

2.4x2.4x2 im assuming meters
so roughly probably just over 6.5 ftx 6.5 ft x just over 6 ft
16 plants is gonna be tight in there
if you squeeze in plants too tight they will grow within the space they have and you wont get the
optimum yield per plant your also talking buckets and ph tester im gonna assume hydro
from seeds with just 3 weeks of veg plants can get very sizable
id try 9 plants to give enough space for growth
just my thoughts

What media are u using. I disagree with chronichempdog on this one, 16 is a good number in there, 4 per light. it all depends how big u want them to grow but from my experience u will nearly always yield more doing many small plants as opposed to a few large ones. be happy with 3oz per plant first time around but u should be pulling 20-250z per 600w light once u get dialled in correctly. I'd suggest using a 50/50 coco/perlite mix as its very user friendly and will give great results. less likely to get pests than using soil also.

Check out my grows, i have some tent grows in my sig.

I would use larger 20 litre size pots.
