Do me ONE favor please before I give you any more advice...
Stop trying to get 'a half pound a plant' and so forth. Don't even ASK. It's not worth the explanation, and the question itself illustrates a lack of knowledge about how growing works.
A plant with a half pound yield is gonna be a MONSTER and take about a dog's age to veg. It's NOT efficient. Period. You've gone and wasted a lot of time and watts and ferts on growing lumber. If you have a limit on plant count, or simply enjoy caring for a very large 'pet' cannabis plant, fine, but you sound like a would-be cashcropper so any advice I give is in light of that.
Go by this formula:
0.5 grams per watt of HPS lighting in the flower room per month in flower.
Given 1200 watts in your flower room and a strain that takes 8 weeks to finish, you do the math as to what your yield goal should be.
The hydrohut is DEFINITELY worth the money for a few reasons. I personally know a few people who happily run them. You have the space to grow as large a plant as it is practical to grow indoors. A plant too tall for a HH is too tall to be grown under lights efficiently anyway...
When I say flower 32 clones at 8" (INCHES not feet) in 3 gallon pots, I am telling you how to make the most efficient use of that setup by going SOG under 1200 watts starting with female clones.
