How likely would it be to get caught in this situation/How much should I yield?

400W MH for veg and 400W HPS for flower. No tent but mylar on walls around plants. 6 foot high grow space. Insulated 6x4x8 room. Cool tube with 4" 160 CFM fan and carbon filter exhausting outside the grow room. 2. Lemon OG Kush, 1. NLBlue, 1. Kandy Kush, 1. Vanilla Kush, 1. Blue Widow. Soil ~ 80% FFOF - 20% Cocotek. Nutes ~ General Organics Go Box. (6) 5 Gallon breathable smart pots.

A few questions..

1. If all things go well, how much should I expect to yield off each plant?
2. What's the likelihood of heat detection noticing my grow?
3. Is a 160 CFM fan enough to kill the odor of these plants?
4. Any suggestions?

it wouldn't help if anyone tried to answer the questions you asked

this is all trial and error stuff

it's situation dependant

and we don't have a detailed blueprint of your growing environment

I will take a shot:

1. 6 plants under a 400W HPS can yield anywhere from 4oz - 13oz depending on the enviornment, veg time, and many other factors.

2. Not likely with a 400W lamp

3. Maybe not depending on the filter, you may be able to get away with very minimal smell if you run the fan 24/7, and you are exhausting directly outdoors.

4. Keep your plants in veg for 4 weeks, LST, flower 9 weeks

how many people you tell is what will get you caught. the heat from a 400w grow could be explained by a number of different things in a home.
 
proximity of neighbors effects question 3. Id be worried about stink more then anything if I lived near people, Im in the boonies of a town founded by nudists hahaha. so its not an issue.
heat detection i wouldnt worry about, they could be looking at your hot water heater for all they know.. and why would they be looking at your home with that kinda of tech anyways?
Id just say make sure you have some sort of effective carbon filter and replace the filter as often as possible, and to vent in an indiscriminate area if you can, try to keep it above head level so the heat will take it up and away from peoples noses. if theres somebody living above you though..they'll know eventually
