You could grow a few trees or 50 little plants in that space. Its up to you and your growing style. You're too vague anyway. I have no idea what "full growth" means. 8' trees?
If you plan on lighting that entire space, you are going to need at least a 600w but I think you'd be better off with a 1000w. Otherwise you should section part of it off. I hope you have some way to ventilate properly as well.

Hydro / Dirt ?
I would do 4 under 1000w. If they're not feminized, then I would start all 6 and hope for 4 females.
Your ventillation is a little under designed. You're using an 8" for your hood exhaust and a 4" for your filter? That's backward. Read this: http://www.bghydro.com/bgh/static/articles/0606_vent.asp and read part II also.
Are you supplying Co2 or exhausting outdoors?

If your looking for yield.. You have to reduce the plant count. Unless your doing a sea of green. 
It sounds funny I know.
If your looking to grow out different strains and yield is not the issue,
Then go ahead and up the plant count.
Lots of new growers think that alot of plants will bring them alot of bud...
Its completely the opposite.
Large plants produce Large amounts of bud...
Once again..."LESS IS MORE"
But, if you want really thick ass big buds, You have to have the lumen output.
Thats why 1k lights kick ass!
If you want the density, You must have the intensity
Good luck!!

I've raised 12 soil grown plants during veg flowered 7(Uncle Ben's topped) in a 6' sq closet with a 250 MH/HPS and 6 26 watt cfl lamps with 2x CO2 2 liter bottles. So far one mid-term hermaphrodite plant in a 4 gallon pot had yielded me 2.75~3 dry ounces. I look forward in totaling more than a pound by staggered harvesting from a 6 sq or 30 cubic foot closet from the remaining plants which are in 2 gallon pots. Things still do get crammed in there though without the 4 gallon planter.
