A 1,000 watt HPS will be overkill for such a small space, and your ventilation task will be pretty enormous. Check out one of my journals. I haven't posted any of my current grows due to lack of activity in previous ones; but you'll see how you can get good results with CFLs without having to move any lights up and down more than a few times per grow.

I use a DIY CFL grow light with a unique bulb positioning that accomplishes the task of growing VERY high quality, dense weed with just 330 watts per light (2-plants per light).

So maybe you should use your CFLs and see what you can do before going to HPS?
