Splitting the room in half might be a good idea. Also, I would stick with the 1000 watt for flowere fer shure.
my 6x8 shed first time indoor scrog official thread

The 1000 is definitely worth it for flowering if you are growing plants bigger than 2 ft tall, the 1k has so much more penetration for bigger plants.
Your plants look a little shocked, probably from the change in lighting, but should recover quickly and be just fine in no time.
Splitting the room is always a good idea, allows you to harvest twice as often.

so me and my bud were doing some fine tuning. put in a gray box timer, put in a little computer fan in the fixture and a little fan in the corner to move the air.its been kinda cold at night and the walls have condensation in the morning i hope this isnt going to be an issue. my temps i would say average around 70 so i havnt been exhausting the air out too much. oh yeah i taped mylar to cardboard pieces so i can move them in and out as they grow cuz the wall are to far from the plants on three sides .the plants are starting to look much more happy. but im thinking of scootin them over a little and splitting the room. the plants are only using like 4x4 area so im thinking of gettin a 400 and 600 digi ballasts and have 600 on the flower and 400 for veg but i dont want to lose the quality of light do you guys think that would be a good idea

I really wouldnt split the room to veg, for that amount of space you could Easily get away with 1 mother in a smaller corner under a 250w HPS. If you had 2 mothers under a 250w you would have more clones than you could even use, then after you crop, butcher the mothers for clones and start 2 new mothers, a flowering cycle is more then enough time to grow some 2 foot mothers under a small 250w HPS.
Just close off a box in 1 corner and make it light tight for a mother area, anything more is a waste of valuable space.
You really should grab a dehumidifer if anything before buying new lights.
Also I would grab a 4 inch centrifugal fan and a fan controller, run the fan at like half speed so it will run silent, and it will be moving way more air than that little crapper fan can, then if you have the centrifugal fan you have the option of throwing a carbon filter on it when it starts to stank.
And check out cooling thermostats, you can grab a Control Wizard from most grow shops, real simple, you plug in your exhaust fan to the cooling thermometer, plug it in and set the temp, your fans will kick it when it gets too warm. And you really should get a little heater that you can set the temp on, that way its never getting too cold or too hot when your not around.

As BC says, A Dehumidifier is a MUST.
yesterday i went and got the insulation and started putting it , in its a pain in the ass too many cuts to make it fit right and look good. i towel dried the walls before starting install. i had the fart fan and occilating fan on all night no condensation this morning. so i think ill be ok. i was hoping to not have to use them so much for energy reasons since my temps were not high but oh well. the day before yesterday i started giving full strength veg nutes (GH flora series)they look a little stressed i think, with the leaves curling a bit, i thought maybe cuz they were growing so fast that might be why but now i dont think so anyone got some ideas or input????? i think im gonna build the screen today cuz i feel they are close to the size to start scrogging

First thing you should do is flush with strait water for 2 feedings, then start your nutrient program at like 1/4 of the recommended, dont forget that the instructions are RECOMMENDED AMOUNTS, it would be impossible to list the exact amounts for every plant and every strain.
Always start low, if you can grow with strait water any nutrients are helping, start at like 1/4 for a few feedings, slowly work up to 1/2, its just a matter of trial and error to determine how much your plants will need.
Hope that helps a bit
Good luck
