Hello Farmers!
I currently run a 400w system in my walk in closet, which has the following dimensions: 3.2ft wide x 6ft long x 8ft high
Here are some pictures:

The ducting is a temporary solution for now, as I plan on running it a bit more efficiently. The ducting runs through the attic and exhausts outside. I place a Can33 before the cool tube once I hit flowers...temps stay in the high 70's.
I have recently removed the old dresser in there, leaving me with a lot of space. I was thinking of throwing a 600w in there, but I am now thinking of a 1000w with a Sun Master 2 air-cooled hood.
The other option was to add another 400w, but I only want to run one ballast for the moment...I guess that's my only constraint for now. I am going to purchase a portable AC unit, which should help out with temps if I decide to go with a bigger light.
Now, my goal is to harvest close to 1lb dry, but I know that will take some work and a couple of grows in order to get everything dialed in.
Now the question is: What would be the best system to implement in that grow space? I usually grow 4 - 6 plants under the 400, so I'm assuming I should be able to fit around 10 - 12 plants, and expect a yield of about 1.5oz dry per plant, which should meet my goal.
I am open to suggestions...anyone?
BTW, I'm a soil grower, but open to different methods, preferably a DWC or RDWC...
