I have an 6x2x8 closet space that i want to use. I plan on growing short indica plants. I would like to grow no more than eight. How many watts would I need? And is this too much for the space I have?
How many plants?

That is one unusually sized space for a grow. 8 plants will grow there fine, if you prepare the space properly.
A 400 HPS won't cover the space well to the 6' ends, and then there's the heat.
A couple of 250's would light the space up well, and then there's the heat.
CFL's on some kind of rig to cover the space would also work. And then there's the heat.
Personally, I'd worry how you're going to vent the room

a 400 hps on a track might work out alright

If I used a 400 hps would i yield quality bud off eight plants?

How much bud would it yield for eight plants?

i have a similarly shaped and slightly larger (long, narrow) closet that i cover with a combination of 400w of HPS and 216w of t5
temps stay below 82f with a 165 CFM 4" inline duct fan sucking from a carbon filter above the light, passive intake
i usually flower 5 to 7 plants at a time, depending on how big they're likely to get. it's easy to LST enough to make the space comfortable

How do you go about switching from 400w hps to 216w of fluorescents?

The areas not too small (far from it) but ventilation is key.

bisect the grow space into two halves and use t5's
(2) 2' x 3' spaces. maybe.......
or............................just look at it as 2 x 4 , 8 sq ft........do a scrog or sog set-up, and leave the 2' left over for fans, ballast, storage.
