Hey friend,
I would do 1 large plant, in a 3-7 gallon pot. 1 photoperiod can be flipped when you decide the space is good and even a longer autoflower would fill the space nicely( one with at least a 9-12 week life.)
If you start with one you'll be able to gauge how much space you really have to work with after lights, ventilation, plant training etc.
* or there's always a sea of green approach....several small single cola plants would do nicely in 1 gallon pots, maybe 4 of them.
Good luck with the decision making. ✌️
