1000w isn't over kill for that space but may be for one plant! As long as you can keep your room cool it is up to you brotha. There is such a thing of too much light but I don't think 1000w is too much.

If I were you I would run both HPS and MH if they are switchable balast, just as a test for yourself. I don't do Hydro or coco, I am a FFOF guy! ;) I would go for it and see if the plant can handle it and if not kill off the 400.

If you ran 4 trees in that space they would blow the fuck up with that amount of light! LST is good, and check out this pic of an LST plant,

Those aren't mine it was a grower on this site but of course it would take years of practice to learn how to get them like that! But no time like the preasent!

I wish I had the other pics of his grow but he has two HID lights in there with the cfl's! I think he was running an HPS and MH light with all those cfls. Just wanted to show you what LST can put out! I saw that and tried LST and failed! LOL But I will try again some time. I am thinking about 4-6 oz off each plant at least!

Yeah it'll be fine IMO.

I have two 600w hps in my grow tent (4x4x6) and they work great! It is my flowering room tho...

I have 5 plants in there in 3 gallon (UK) buckets and they're very big and bushy! Alot bushier than anything in smaller pots.

1 PLANT CAN BE BIG ENOUGH FOR ANY LIGHT SETUP. given the proper Pot size, and Veg time. you could LST a VINE that is 6x6 for a few months. then sog it.. would need a 18gal pot but that would be win
