I would suggest you tell your friend the very best way to get a decent crop of meds on his first grow is to K.I.S.S. ( keep it simple stupid). I followed that very simple method and only used base nutrients and additives such as Calmag, silicon, and liquid cool bloom and ended up with a Plant of the month contest win and as of last night my first plant is tied for plant of the year, And as far as plant count goes the number will depend on wether he plans on vegging them long or lst But a good rule 1 plant per 1.5-2 square feet if you plan on vegging longer then 2 weeks or lst training but if your friend is using rooted clones around 6 inches tall he could get away with 4 per square foot I personally use a 1000w light in a 25 square foot space if I use 1 gal pots I transplant clones into them from peat pot once they are 7 inches tall and then veg for another week to get them well settled then switch to flower this allows me to have about 30-40 plants depending on size if I decide to veg them for say 2-3 weeks I go with 20 plants in 3 gallon pots
