If you reflect right a small grow room could suffice.

i do 12 plants under a 1000 watts hps or mh light. yield is diff 4 everyone and also what kind of plant you are growing adds to the more or less yield. so just have fun with your skunk and enjoy my friend..

also make sure you have everything in a bedroom so that it doesnt get hot and nasty..wood floors are also pimp to keep down bugs and spyder mites..carpet is not good..keeps in bugs and if you drop water on the shitz it molds and brings the bugs in..so good luck....

Its not as much about the # of plants but more as in the amount of square feet. Try to get 50W per square foot so 20 square feet of grow area for your plants. that mean's you can grow 20 plants per square foot with a 1000W HPS. or even more if your pots and plants are smaller. I would try to have each plant have a square foot for themselves to grow.
Or you can go by lumen's and aim for 5000-10000 per square foot. and HPS having around 150000 lumen's each.
So you should aim for a area 15-20 square feet with up to a maximum of 20 plants.
I have 10 under my 1000W HPS and they are growing just fine and loving the light.
People will tell you they like Blue light and they otherwise they will stretch but if u look at mine they have almost too little stretch.
Other thing you will want to consider with a 1000W is cooling it. It gets quite hot and even tho you might be like that wont be a problem for me my room is like 45F atm. You will be suprised. 1000W gets soo hot that you will definatly not need any kind of heating and that you will definatly need to get some kind of method of venting out the heat.
If you need any tips on how to do that you can always seach on how to make a cool tube. Ill keep an eye out for you thread if you need any more advice.

Like i said its not really about the amount of plants but more about the area that the light is lighting. It also helps to get some kinda reflective meterial and cover the walls. But go by square feet either 40W-50W (What I use) or aim for 10000 lumens per square foot

This is my first grow. So just subscribe to my journal and i guess you will find out. But before setting anything up I read through like 10 ebooks and read this forum religiously. I can say its paying off because the plants are looking excellent
yeah RIU helped me through my first grow... everything was perfect. all u gotta do is play by the rules. and u will have decent bud.. im trying to harvest 1-3 pounds every harvest.. so basically every 3 and a half months.. i know i ask alot of questions but u think it will be possible with a 1000w hps?
