Hell ya, that will work awesome. I use a 250 watt HPS for 4-6 plants without the side lighting and get 1/2 to 3/4 oz off each plant, so you should do a helluva lot better yeild per plant depending on strain. Give each plant a 1/2 or 1/4 turn each day and all sides of the plant will get even lighting. Keep updates on this please, I'd like to keep an eye on it!

If it's that far into flowering and you're not getting much budding check to see if your ph is off on the soil or if your water has too much disolved solids in it for the plants to take up nutrients properly. If in soil check soil ph, and just go buy your water from those machines at the grocery stores it's super cheap per gallon. Try the new water and see what happens.
Lastly there should be a natural increase in budding from now until harvest if all things are optimal. The first couple weeks are naturally slow but at 4 weeks you should have good buds forming.

That's fine, it's all normal including the dying leaves. Add more light if you can to get the lower buds larger or you can harvest the top first and then give the lower buds more direct light for a week or so while they catch up. The buds will start fattening up big time here soon enough.

5 or 6 week old seedlings or clones? That's fine for a clone, but if you are doing seedlings, then you should wait a minimum of 2 months before flowering. It will still turn out fine, but the plant isn't really "mature" until it is 2 months old or so. Since clones come off of a plant that is already over 2 months old, they are mature from the get-go and can flower after only a couple of weeks of veg. The pics look fine tho, you are at the right progress for 5 weeks in. It's the last couple of weeks or so that everything plumps up nice

I'm sure it'll turn out nice, but in the future you'll be happier if you wait until they are at least 2 months old before you flower. They will generally be more potent if you let them mature more before flowering!
