i need a RIU's help in a set up choice

I recently moved to a new home with a closet that measures out to be 7' x 5'. As you can tell in the pics it already has selves in that run along the sides.

I would really like to try the SOG/Perpetual grow method with hopefully a harvest of a 8 oz. every 2 weeks.

The Problem- My mind is running with all sorts of setups I could run in here but I don't know which one to choose.

I am renting so i cant cut into the wall and drilling has to be kept to minimal amounts.

Current Grow- I'm currently running a e&f system under a 400 watt (Flowering), and a 4' 4 bulb t5 with clones in soil (Veg).

so my question is; What would RUI do?

I was thinking a 600 with a stinkbud set up.

this is the closet currently. no one has any advice?

Is something wrong with my thread?

I would worry more about ventilation than lighting. Becaue what ever size HPS you use is going to generate heat that needs to be extracted to outside of your house if you dont want damp & mold in the winter.It looks like a nice room, but you will obviously need to light proof your flowering side to your vegging side. For this i would get the most descent size grow tent for the room & do it that way. Enviroment is as important as any other factor.

My 400 runs at 74 -77 when its on is a 600 going to bring more heat? I tried a 4 x4 tent and had major heat problemsand would always have to leave it unzipped. I'm using a 6 inch 500 cfm exhaust.

even so, i don't understand how you keep the flowering area completely dark with that set up.

I'm not to sure what to say. But if it wasn't light proof my plants would not be floweing?
