It definitely wouldn't hurt to add some CFL's, the added spectrum would be a plus too. =)

four 600 watt hps lights would do good for flowering.

...lol...I saw 10+10 and thought ...hey thats my idea...duh, you mean room size...lol...check this out... the 10/10 theory...on toke and talk...just a stoned idea
...I have similar size room with 1000w...I can fit 16 plants in a floodtable and 4 DWC buckets next to the table all under my light....the 16 are in 8" pots...as long as the poly is up , the light hits everthing nice for me....good luck

I was thinking the same thing, which is why I clicked on it... Ooh well. Still your idea to execute.

Yes yes yes. Simple formula and old as the hills:
1000 watts covers 4'x4' (62.5 watts per sq ft)
600 watts covers 3'x3' (66 watts per sq ft)
400 watts 2.5'x2.5' (64 watts per sq ft)
You can squeeze a few extra feet out of each light, but don't even think about anything less than 50 watts per sq ft. And, if you're running CO2, think more in the area of 70+ watts per sq ft if you really want to realize the full benefit of CO2.
