Wow, there's a lot of different views here, i suppose it varies on the strains too.

sounds like 400w though in a cupboard grow like mine is just too much though heat-wise,
If so i could move up into the loft, but ventilation becomes the issue here as it's a bigger space with the same sized fans.

I know CFL's will produce far less heat, but they are expensive to get equal watts to a HPS and don't get quite the same yield
(i tried to word that carefully as I've seen plenty of arguments over this)
Good luck on the LED's, they sound like a good idea but i don't have that kind of money to burn...

I suppose if push comes to shove i could just cut down to 2 plants at a time.
I think this would do the trick, wouldn't it? Far less bud though.

And yeah, nothing like sitting back after a hard days growing/smoking and enjoying some dairy.
Enjoying some tasty white rhino now, might get a yogurt!
(i meant diary)

Well with your cupboard space the cfls would work great. I still think it's too small
a space for 4 plants but hey i'm sure it's been done. I've tried scrog & sog and i don't
get as much bud as I want for all that work( prob just me ). With the spaces I have I use both cfls &
a 400w hps (two seperate rooms) I grow 4-5 in each. I top at the 3rd node then let them
grow to about 14" before I put into flower. I end up around 2' for harvest usually.
Out of each plant I get about 3-4 oz. So really it all depends on how much bud your lookin to get.
You can def get more out of a bigger space with more light. That's all I'm saying.
If you do the cupboard it sounds too small for hps. The loft would be better for the hps.
