[Longcock]

I want to hear ideas on 5k layout configures.
Im thinking 11'x11' square layout. Thought?

I am running a 20x10 8k. But have been thinking of building 2 rooms of 5k each and harvest 1 room a month. Right now I harvest a section of my room every 2 weeks.im thinking of using 2 12x12 or maybe 11x11 rooms with parabolic reflectors. I am thinking of doing an x pattern with the lights (4 towards each corner then 1 in the middle).i am also interested in hearing others thoughts

In just for the info. I am setting up a 10 x 10 basement room shortly and I really am thinking about running parabolics with 600 gavita SE's.

5k is feasible in a 11x11 space. I like the option to air cool hoods whenever possible. However, parabolics do not offer me that option. Set them up like a 5-side dice. Good luck!

id run 4 in parabolics.. and 1 in the center vertically honestly.. depending on how many plants your going to run ....

Want to do 49 plants. 7rows x7rows. Thinking x-pattern light configuration. 10.5'x10.5'. Corner lights set 2' from edges and 5th light in the middle of the square. Im thinking laying it out like this the light over lap will be pretty even in-between the lights.

Also Ive had luck in veg 4'x4' tray with a single 600w ushio HPS.(36plants) far better growth than running (2)2'x4' 8 bulb t5s. (18 under each)

Previous crop was 4k (36 plants) wanting to add another light is why im asking what peoples thoughts are. Also the veg light in previous post was also parabolic.

EastCoast 710 I thought about running it w/ no reflector in the middle but my friends 4k room is set up with no reflectors and I can see a bunch of wasted light, lighting up the walls towards the ceilings. His yields are about the same as mine go figure? But hes running 49 plants compared to the 36 im running and hes lighting up a 12'x12' room with more space between the plants.
