A 250 will bury you under more weed you can handle. The 400 will be fine.

You probly don't need to scrog if you go with a 600 or especially a 1000. The best effect of a scrog is achieved with fewer plants in a small space. It seems you have plenty of headroom, and more importantly, IF you go with a scrog you will find it near impossible to manage under the screen. I didn't catch the dimensions of your closet but if that is 4' x 4' square you probly won't be able to reach unless your an NBA player. So maybe rethink your reasons for wanting a scrog in the first place. Christmas trees might be your best bet.

the room is 4x4x5.5 slanted down to 3' and im 6'4" i can reach anywhere in that room and the screen is bout 3 feet off the ground way easy to get around and under,i would rather not have Christmas trees til i move and finally get to set up the 55gal drum DWC outdoor with the drum buried half way in the ground and a second one to try a giant scrog outdoor plus i have A.D.H.D. i cant do anything normal

You sure are big enuf to have long arms. It's my understanding that you have to reach UNDER the net so you can clip all the undergrowth. It's hard for me, I hope I'm doing it right, I just keep redirecting all the branches to sideways to keep them under for as long as I can, then in around the last 3 weeks let them penetrate and try to have their own square for vertical growth. This was my first time, next time I might let them go vertical earlier because just one side (top side) of the long colas got full light when they grew sideways. It sure kept those sativas low to the ground, longest cola was 36" and only around 12" vertical height. I did 4 plants with a 400W. just chopped yesterday. Good luck, looks like a nice clean setup. Should work great with a 600W.
 
Looks like a great setup
I'm just curious, it looks like a non circulating system, right? how do you plan to change the res in each once they fill the screen?

Exactly what i was going to ask. I'm looking into scrog for me next grow, I would have the same problem.

Looking good though, fill that screen right up!

Depends on what you're growing. Generally Indicas fill half the screen in veg and finish filling the screen under 12/12. Sativas should start at 12/12. After 21 weeks of 12/12 my Thunk was still in full blown strecth mode.
