This noon is back......grow 2.0

So, I'm doing my second indoor grow..400W hydro tank of...i don't know how many gallons, but thinking of increasing the lights this time and adding a tank. For those of you who must know, I'm growing only to supply a few friends; I myself only smoke once a month or so.. so hate on me if you want, but I'll probably sell through a buddy IF there is enough to go around.
My first grow ever with bag seed was ok, nothing crazy, and can't tell ya the yield because I don't use scales and picked as they matured. Actually I'm still smoking on the occasional fan leaf, when I do smoke, from my attic.
A buddy of mine, whom I've reconnected with, is cloning for a couple of dudes that are growing. All he does is grow a mother or three, and keep clones going from them. He has some good genetics, from what he says anyway. So to me, the setup seems perfect: continuous source of clones, as long as I can get him to grow them to at least 12 inches or so, with, apparently, some damn good genes for this area, and I can just keep him supplied I think.....The question is, I guess, is because my only first experience growing was from seed through harvest, is how many ladies can I keep going on 400W or 800 or 600 or whatever.... Im open to investing into more lumens, and I have about 4 ft of vertical room and around 64 sq ft of floor space to use.... our use is probably around 4 oz a month, and I have no illusions about hitting that, but how close to it do you all suspect I can get. Im using j.r. peters hydro fert btw, have a decent meter for ph and ppm and temp. I guess what im wondering is, do I have a decent shot at a good sog or scrog setup or should I just grow veg hardcore like I did last time and just wait it out for a long term kinda thing? I like the idea of keeping my buddies from having to search around, and breaking even is probably just a dream, much less making money, but how much from yall's experience can you benefit from the whole sog or scrog setup?
