amount of plants is insignificant it's square feet not per plant if you have 5,000 psf. you should be ok... so if you can fit more in your room go for it as long as you have more than 5,000 psf

That would depend on which stage you are in. Actually the highest lumen stage would be in the flowering period. During the flowering period 10,000 lumens is the minimal requirement.

Depends on what distance the 1000 HPS is from the canopy and it also depends on the manufacturer of the bulb.

i use a 5x5 room to hold 9 plants with a 600watt hps.. the plants are spaced out and they are likr 4 ft tall so you should be good with a 5x5 with 10 at 2 ft tall

50-70 watts per square foot of your grow room is ideal

the more light the better all you need to have is good ventalation and climate control
