I got a Secret Jardin darkroom its 4'11 x 4'11" x 6'7" I got a dual HPS/MH lamps each bulb is 400 watt. I want to grow using both at the same time. air cooled lamp reflector, carbon filter. I was wondering how many plants i can fit in that space and maxium size pots to use, is my lite setup over kill? How much could these plants produce in a room that size? Thanks

So you have a dual 400 ballast with 2 seperate 400 watt bulbs each in there own reflector correct? Not just a standard switchable ballst with one reflector. Sounds cool i have only seen dual ballasts in 600 watts before. Would you say it puts off less heat then 2 seperate ballasts?

As for the rest of your questions, there are far to many variables that are unstated here to answer most of them, however a good place to start is the GrowFAQ

Good Luck

Yes they are both bulbs in one reflector at 400 watts each, so total 800 watts combined, I have not tried it yet, waiting for my roommate to move out so I can set this up in a room, in a grow room 5x5x7. I will post pictures of the complete setup

I'm thinking of taking the intake of the tent and hooking up to a small A/C unit, the A/C unit will take another 300-500 watts. How much wattage do I need to increase to alarm the power company? Any ideas?

What do you like about the grow bags? I was thinking of fitting 16 10"x10" pots about 3 gallons in a 5x5x7 grow tent. Is 16 to many?
