Any helpful opinions

OK theres a couple questions I need opinions on, so let me start by stating what I plan to work with:

1000w HPS lighting system w/ MH conversion bulb for veg (I already have this system, so this is what i'm gonna use, nothing else is set in stone.)

A few 5-gal buckets full of sugar and yeast for co2.

Some homemade organic soil (I'm researching this with every working cell my brain has left, Me thinks I'll do just fine figuring it out.

Whatever fan I can pick up locally with the right power.

Heres my big question, with my lighting system I figure I got a 4x4-5x5 space to work, what would be my best bet to get the highest yield possible? I mean should I SOG, SCOG, or just grow like 4 big mother fuckers, and train them to utilize all the available light? And with any of these methods, how big should I let them get before moving into flower?

And I'm not to worried about this question but if anyone has an answer I'd be grateful to hear it. How many 5 gal buckets full of yeast, water, and 5 lbs of sugar, should one use in a small bedroom? any general rule of thumb on that one?

one thing i would suggest.. if you want to scrog to grow the strain 1st normaly so you can get the feel for the plant. :)

As someone thats built every kind of sugar/yeast/water reactor I could find...chuck it and get a tank of CO2. The differences I saw made me sick thinking of all the time/resources/materials creating a so-so delivery system. A stunning waste of time, as you'll never produce in the PPM's numbers we need for our fav!

You are not going to beat a well set up SOG!! I've grown trees, soiless,soil, hydro(full blown KFB set up), SCROG's are fun and all, oh you'll do well here and there, but year in and year out, SOG rules!!
