I'd go with 3 - 4 plants per bulb with the 15 gallon pots. Start flowering at 4ft or taller. I presume you're growing bubba?

I used to do 24 plants under 3 x940HPS , 2x 1000 MH , vertical, no reflectors, C02, minisplit , in 5 gallon pots.
3 to 4 week veg with the 2 x 1000MH , then drop them down and add the 3 940's above and flip to flower. average 6lbs if everything ticked along nicely. 2 rows, 3 HPS up top and two MH below, 12 northern lights#5 and 12 Shiskaberry.
I miss those days LOL
every room is gonna be different. you could give 12 growers and identical room with identical plants and all the same nutes ect and maybe one or two of them will use that room with those strains to their maximum yield. in my opinion anyways.
asking the internet for a blueprint to "xxx" number of pounds is probably not gonna get you there .
good luck, let us know what you do and how you make out ;)

Your growing horizontal ,not vert right?. How big you veg your plants depends on how many you want per light when flowering. I usually did 4 per 1000w when I had a larger set-up, in 10 gallon smart pots. I used a scrog screen to get the most out of each plant.

If your gonna do vert, this is what I would do. Have the lights in an "x" pattern , and flower 4 large plants. That way each plant is getting blasted with light from 3 sides. Check out some of FlowerFarmer's and HL45's threads to see what I mean.

Your gonna need some heavy duty air movement, or co2 and AC. Don't skimp on that part, as you will regret it,lol. Do you know the origin of the Chemdawg? What about the Bubba? You say it's your 5th grow? So you should know how your strains perform(stretch, food preference). Those things are deciding factors for me when deciding which plants to run in a certain set-up. For instance Bubba prolly doesn't stretch much, and more than likely would not be a good plant to put next to a strain that gets tall.

Really it's up to you, those were just my initial thoughts when reading your posts.
