Spydur's New grow 1k Light mover..

SO for my second grow, I am moving up with size and lights.

I will be making a 4' x 6' room in the attic. My current plan is to do a 1k HPS (vented) on a light mover for this space (trying to avoid heat issues during summer). I am thinking do sea of green because I am going for straight weight and speed.
I will be going soil this time as I have weight concerns for the space I have allocated. 100g res over the ceiling is no bueno, not to mention the nightmare it would be trying to clean a res up there.
I will be growing the momma and veg using GH flora nova lucas formula. For flowering I am still on the fence, will eather use AN's PH perfect sensi ab pro lvl or conny 2P pro lvl, thoughts?
I am also debating doing 1g or 3g fabric pots, I am looking for max yield for my space. I will be building out this room using panda B/W and sealing it for future CO2 usage.

Thing to keep in mind is I also have the 2' x 4' x 5' tent with the 400w HPS as well. I will be growing the king kong in the new room and the vanilla kush in the tent under a 400w. I am still thinking about maybe swapping out the 400 for a 600w.

My strains will be Dr. Underground's "King Kong" and Barney Farm's "Vanilla Kush".

I am looking to pull 3-4P every 2 months out of this, doable?
Thoughts and suggestions all welcome!

Not trying to be an ass but you need to be brought back down to earth. 3-4 pounds every 2 months is not going to happen. 1 pound every 2-3 months is more realistic. The absolute max people are gonna pull off a 1k watt light is 2-3 pounds and that would be with DWC or some type of badass hydro hybrid. With soil 1 pound is about what your going to get, give or take a few O's.

How many plants are you planning on doing up there? And how long are you planning on vegging? Need to know these two to tell you pot sizes. Also, sorry I'm not familiar with either one of those nutrients.

From my figures using the light mover should give me up to 40% (i would be happy with 20%) more light pen as it will give the entire room a pretty even coat of lights. Like I said I wanted to go SoG, keep the plants small maybe 5-10 day veg then to flower. By my calculations i should be able to fit 18 (1 per sq/f)pots to 72 (4 per sq/ft) the room is 4x6x7 (will be using 3x6x7). That was my primary question, Am I better off going with more smaller plants or less plants with more space to grow? Both of these strains are big producers from what I have seen and read. I will also be adding timed CO2 to help things along.

You will get the same yield, either way because of the space restraint, and the fact you have 1 1k watt. The only difference would be the 9 plants in 3 gal container would need a slightly longer veg. Honestly there really is no huge trick to it that's gonna make you yield pounds. I think that's what you are expecting and no one can give you an answer to it, that's why there is alot of views and only I'm commenting.
