Put a HPS conversion bulb in the other 40o and use it as well, you will want alot of light for that many plants. To be honest you will not get the best results.
You would be better off looking into SOG if you want maximum output from a 400 W

1000 Watt covers 4'x4'
600 Watt covers 3'x3'
400 Watt covers 2'x2'

Cou can cover more, but your plants will sufer. Even a good 600 watter over a 3' x 3' bed will not be as bright as you think.

you could DEFINITELY do 10 plants with two 400s, you'd have the best coverage in that situation.

as far as penetration, you wouldn't want to grow these guys very tall, in fact, with two 400s i wouldn't grow above 2 feet give or take, too much foliage, not enough penetration, less bud.

fifteen plants is pushing it, i'd say 10 is a good number.

forgot to mention: wait out that third week, should show sex by then.
also, i don't know your garden dimensions.

My last grow I used 2 400w's to cover a 3x3. You won't be able to cover a 4x4 with them.

I am going to be using a single 600w from now on instead of the two 400's. If you do have two 400's it is better to run one with MH and one with HPS.

The floro's won't help much. You'd be better to find a place to build a little veg box so you can get your perpetual going. Use the floro's to get that going. Won't need much ventilation or power, should be cheap to put together.

As far as the 2 400's I think you'll have pretty good success with a 3x5. I could've probably covered a 3x5 easily, just couldn't do a 4x4.
