Is this enough space/light

15 square foot room 8 ft high with a 1000w hps for 6 plants in 5 gallon pots. and with this type of setup which growing style would be the most space beneficial?
 
dpends on the plants as far as their expected height and what not but that area is a pretty solid, what are you thinking of growing? might get some good advice from people if they knew your genetics
 
Gens will help a bunch! If you do a Kush or something short and bushy, you will easily fill that space wall-to-wall with nice big colas!
 
I have a 400 in one 10 square foot room and a 600 in the other 10 square foot room both doing regular grows in soil, and 4 plants in each with 5 gal buckets is TIGHT but the 400 is good light and the 600 is great light. You have the perfect amount of light for that space.

I would just do a regular grow, I assume by style you mean between scrog, sog and regular? In that room I'd try regular or scrog(screen of green), although you really don't have a height issue with 8 feet. You can learn some LST(low stress training) techniques so you can force your plant to grow the way you want to. 6 medium strain plants will be tight but doable in 15 square feet. I have to assume you have a separate mother and clone room. I do, but in both my other rooms I continue to veg the clones under MH for a week or two more after they have been cut and begin rooting in my dome with a t5, then I switch out the MH with HPS and flower both rooms at once. I'm guessing the room is like 5 long x 3 wide x 8 tall so if I'm not too stoned here that is 150 cfm needed for full air exchange under a minute, but i'm sure you have that covered. Good luck
 
more light .. 1000s only good for a 4x4 space.. you can stretch it beyond that but your results will decline.
