I set the 1kw HID horizontally in a reflective bonnet. From the bottom of the glass to the surface of the gravel is about 44"'s. Most snips make it up to the bonnet so I LST them by tipping them by the roots while the table is flooded.How tall do you think a sog from well rooted clones with no veg should finish? Average 60 day strain. lets say a kush strain for example.

lst? Please remember I am learning how to walk before running with no legs. (blade runner)You won't be doing any lst on a 7000 sqft canopy...
In rock when the table is flooded the plant can be shifted by the roots. I do this because it exposes the entire plant to light and outta the bonnet. Much similar the way some people tie them down using string but done differently. I also don't have to adjust the bonnet using this method. I put in as many as 25 freshly rooted clones in a 4' x 4' x 6" table using a 1kw superace w/internal ignitor over each table. Each table is spaced 6-8"'s apart in rows of two leaving a walkway of two feet between each row.You lost me when you said you LST (light scissor train, trim?) I am a coco/ perlite grower.
800 lbs. every 8 weeks off 400 kW HPS is very doable. Key is doing it with top quality and minimal daily labor.To pull off 400lb's every eight weeks you'll need about 240kw's of hps
