two things - if you're going to use only one type of light for the whole grow then you're better off using hps. mh is very inefficient for flowering - probably about the same as using an hps with half the watts

you will get better use of the light if you divide up your space so that you have just enough room for the plants and then cover the inside walls with something reflective like white paint or mylar. you can make simple walls with a 2" by 4" stud frame with mylar attached.
