Growing Auto-Ak47 and Vegging a "normal" strain

Im toying with the idea of growing 5 feminzed auto-ak47 in 3 galllon smartpots while at the same time vegging 4 other plants.

Grow Room Setup:
4x4 Sunhut - about 8 ft. tall. extra room for heat dissapation (at least thats what the hydro guy said)
1000 watt light - aircooled reflector w/ dimable electronic ballast - using a watt meter - set to a 600 watt equivalent. ill turn it up all the way during flowering.
6inch vortec fan extracting hot air from the open light ballast.
passive air intake
Oscillating Fan

I want to use a Sunmaster MH bulb @ 20/4 untill I harvest the auto-ak47 then switch to HPS. I want that uvb ray. I might supplement with some CFLs if the bitches start to stretch too much.

If I veg 4 barney's blue cheese plants for about 2 months. Would they overgrow my tent? Im not gonna use scrog, Im prob just gonna fim 'em and top 'em. Or should i use some other strain that could take advantage of a 10 week veg period and still be a short plant.

how should I arrange the pots to best utilize the lightfoot print? Autoflowers in the center to receive the most light?

oh, if u couldn't tell im a total noob and this is my first post. I've caught a bug and am totally obsessed with the art and science of growing dank. This will be my first grow and i am prepared to fuck it up but i think as long as the vegging plants dont overcrowd the sea of green autos everything will be fine.

To tell you the truth man, that "blue cheese" will be fine as long as you top it or bend it. The blue cheese is a short and bushy plant anyways so thats good. But if you want a real short plant i would go in the lines of a Shiva plant. And also man put the shortest plants in the middle so they recieve the most light and turn the plants every other day so they can receieve light equally.. You have got a 1000 watt lamp so the light should be at least 24 inches away.
