new sog grow room

hey im a newbie in the growing game and need your help if you can please. im making a new grow room and need some advice.

my problem!
i have a 4.2 meter (lengh) by 2.2 meter (width) and a height of 2.2 meters. i plan on doing a sog vertically on the walls using rockwell sponge. And in order to maximise plant numbers and shorter time i am dividing the room in two with an artificial wall that will go 3/4 across the shorter side of the room with a small pathway to pass through that will have a curtain to maintain the climate. you see i expect to have one room blooming as the other is growing. from my calculations with each sponge being 1.6 meters and me having 7 plants per sponge and overall there are 36 sponges which gives me a total of 250 plants per room. for my lighting system..you must have seen the glass tube used inside the vertical ecosystems, im going to use 1 glass tube in each room. each glass tube will consist of two 600w hps bulbs. so each room will have 250 plants, 500 plants between the two rooms.

my questions-

1) will 2 600w hps bulbs be sufficient for 250 plants? if not how many do you think are needed.

2)What kind of yield do you think i will get from each room?

3)What type of plant will get the highest yield in sog? ive been told white widow.
