The room is pretty big about 27' by 25'. Theres only 12000 watts for a total of about 18 watts/sq ft.
I think were gonna have to drop some vertical hanging lights, probably halides because theyre cheap; since winter is coming and night temps are at around 50 degrees now.
we mounted the digital 1000's to the top of the boards that the hoods are hanging from and then covered the whole thing with black visqueen 6 mil
In the middle pic you can see the old room which was on the second floor balcony of this otherwise open warehouse. The heat was getting trapped in the same area as the growroom because the growroom was on the second floor. we moved it to the ground floor and now were gonna vent the heat up which should work nicely in the winter time to double as heating for the building as it doesn't have a working furnace.
Im brainstorming on ideas about passsive heat exchange using 2 story growroom construction using tubes and ducting but instead of using fans using the upward force of heat energy to advantage. Obviously you can't eliminate fans altogether but if I can do with one or 2 less in every room that would be huge. Maybe another thread there??

Good call Lyry,
There is a mix of:
Tahoe og (regular seed cali connection)
Delerium (feminised world of seeds)
and True blueberry (clone)
Theres 4 per light for a total of 48
Vegan - Those are nicer versions of greenhouse pots. Still blow molded but theyre not as cheap as the cheap ones... They are for trees. They also have these sweet inserts that make them like an air pot inside the pot.
And thank you Third Coast for a local perspective. I think it will be ok when we get the hanging 400's or whatever we do up the w/ft
