I'll try to help dog. I use Foxfarm light warrior and some worm castings and bat gauno in the early stages. Then I transplant into either Fox Farms regular soil or their Ocean/Sea soil. I heard that it is usually one plant per squre foot. As for the 400 watt, that is up to you, I am currently in the same situation as you with that one.

OK. Maybe I missed something here. Let me see if I've got this right. You will have a grow area that is 5' x 5 1/2' by 7', sound about right? And your going to use a 1000watt light to veg four different strains, along with 6 maybe more cfl's and you want to know if you should add a 400watt light as well. No. That 1000watt light will cover the whole room.
As to how many, you will be able to put as many as will fit in the space. It depends on the size of the pots you use to finish in. Since you say you are going to use soil you will need 3 gallon pots. This will limit the number of plants.
Question, do all of those strains get the same height at the same time. If not you will have a problem adjusting that 1000watt light. Do not let it get closer than 18" above you plants and start with it farther away than that. Hope you have deep pockets and a good ventilation plan. VV

never follow the 1 plant per sq/ft rule, of caurse if you have a small plant and are doing sog you can have more plant in 1 sq/ft, and if your lsting, you'll need more sq/ft per plant. So always map out what your doing and think ahead. you should be fine if you know how fast the plant grows and such and such.
