:ciao: ol'timer

You have 9.4 square feet so a 400 watt will work if you can get enough ventilation to keep things cool
 
I have a 30"x48" and I can grow 4 nice indicas or 2 nice hybrids to a good size and get a nice harvest. If your light has a digital ballast then I would back it down to a 600w and pull 530cfm through it without heat issues. :)

I think that 3-4 depending on whether they are indica or sativa dominant.

You do know that you cannot just buy a smaller bulb--you would need to also buy a ballast to match the bulb size? I think that you may find it hard to keep a 1000W cool in that space. I currently have a 600W in a space that is about 24 x 48 and have some problems when the temps outside get around 100.
