First grow room setup

Hi guys, I have a couple of question here, the thing is that its mostly not going to be my money that is going to be invested in the setup of the room, so the person who will pay is going to want results (or I know I would).. and I don't want to disappoint them with a bad harvest!

first of all the room is about 10'X12', I don't want to fill it up just yet, I was thinking to start with a 4x8 flood and drain table. I will have 100% of the walls covered in black and white reflective sunfilm !?!(should the floor be covered aswell?)

Growing method: I would like to know what you guys think would be best, the 3 options that are interesting me so far are the following :

1) Use the 4x8 table with about 32-36 plant to grow with a scrog and about 10-14 days of veg
2) use the 4x8 table to SOG about 128 short plant for 4-6 days of veg (I don't think I can come up with that many clones consistently)
3) put about 20-24 plant to grow more freely and train them as much as possible to give as many tops as possible

** I got a couple grow in but if you will please point out my mistakes to help me out on how many plants/method** thanks

Lighting: I was thinking about using a combo of a 1000w hps and a 400w MH since I was not planning on veging for such a long time, do you guys think it is enough or not and what do u recommended for lighting a 4x8 table ( I would like to get some dense bud, not necessarily rock hard but i don't want no fluffy flower)

*I was going to use Cana nutes
*6-8" around 400w CFm carbon filter

please ask if this is incomplete of lack specification and I will try to answer asap ! thanks for your help, hopefully will get it all built it by june !

i cover my floors in rubber and run it up the walls about 6 inches. Id go with #3 style grow. I wouldnt use a 400mh with a 1k hps. id either get a second 1k hps and run 2 of them or if your worried about electric get 2 600 hps's. Going to need more then 400cfm fan. Get a 8'' inline fan to cool 2 1k hps and get a carbon filter rated alittle higher then the fan like a phresh 8x39

Yea Im mot qui te sure about electricity but i guess the différence between 1400 and 2k of power it won't affect the bill so much, thanks for the advice! Hopefully it''ll go well, let's say with a 2k setup and following your tips how much do you think 20-24 plant would harvest, considering I already grew but I am not a pro, I will top them at least twice !

id recommend only doing 6 plants max under each 1k but thats just me i like trees. Its to hard to guess yields based on not knowing to many factors. How about setting a goal of 30oz per light every cycle.
