Well I have 10 smart like pots (their called phat sacks from htg) going in about a 5.5 to 6 ft long and 2.5 deep closet. I also have a 400 hps system. I know I might be pushing it but I'm sure its possible. Just wanting to know some of you all opinions about running this setup.

hmm.. well, in a two by two row I reckon you can do it, but Im sure the two on each end wont get much light, 6 might be more like it, or consider a light rail/mover

hope you got a nice ventilation and maybe a cool tube for that 400W or it will get pretty hot in there ..

I grow with a 400 watt hps and grow 3 plants at a time in 5 gal Smart pots. I think your trying to grow too many plants at one time considering your space and lights.

id go 4 my friend. i go 4 under 400 6/600 and 9/1000. u could always just hash out the girls that dont get adequate light. u could also add cfls if u are dead set on doin 10
