Are you trying to light more than 20 sq.ft. with a 400w HPS? If so, that would seemingly be way too little light. But the 6 plants thing sounds right... unless they really cover that much space....

ok with the dimensions you provided you have a total of 26.5 square feet(floor space) for your grow area. but since your only doing 6 plants at a time you should be ok.

why such a big space if your not using it all? ideally you want 50watts+ per sqaure foot during flower and 30-40watts for veg. you might want to block off some of the extra space when you flower to maximize light on plants.

does the room have mylar or white walls to reflect light?

good luck growing cant wait to see some pics

im starting with 6 plants for now any advice i get im taking it in for future grows but for now i see where 6 plants gets me (yields etc.)its kind of tight with the width only being 3'6" i hope to have some pics up of the room soon but all my time is in fine tuning my room right now (noise and light) and avoiding my neighbor
mylar is almost all up
still waiting on seeds another day hopefully
