Hey guys...I'm planning my first grow, I have a room that is 5' x 13' with a 7' high ceiling. Was planning to put 3 x 1000's in there...lights offset to the side a bit so I have a lit area 3w x 13'd and 2' of walking space along the side. However I read that the 1000's have a 4' x 4' coverage, so I don't feel like I'm getting everything out of my lights that I could. The room is just framed (no drywall yet) so I can easily reframe the width of 5', have to work with the depth of 13'. What would be the optimal width? I plan to grow trees in buckets, need some room in there to get around (big guy) but don't want to lose much light to an overly large room either. I'm thinking 13 x 6.5 I can have 2.5' walking space along the side and plants in a 4 x 13 area. Want to leave the room up and running a long time so wanna do it proper right off the bat.
