hello all, well im final able to do the upgrade i been looking to do for a long time. Im building a grow room that is 11 feet deep by 7 feet wide. Flower room is 13 feet 8 inches wide and 11 feet deep, and both rooms 7 feet 6 inches tall.. Now im installing a 200 amp power service so i wont be restricted by lack of power.
so my ideas are
Grow room.
one 400 watt mh
two 600 watt mh
one 1000 watt mh.
im thinking this so i can rotate plants on a 12 week cycle so i ll start them under the 400 for 3 weeks then 600 weeks under 600 then 3 weeks under 1000 then into flower room. figured by doing this i could cut a little power usage down by not just using all 1000s and have light being wasted when in the earlier stages.
Flower room
six 1000 hps
twelve 400 mh ( this is to help put a full spectrum in room but not over power with the hps lights)
------13'8"------

-this is a very rough layout. but this is what i was thinking about trying to do to. I do want to go with both lights cause with experimenting in the past i found that with adding some mh in to flower i get denser buds and a frostier. i was also figuring this will help fill in between the hps so ever were is fully cover with light.
-im also going to be going to add a ac system in to make it a inclosed system so no air exchange out side. I also am going to threw in a co2 burner into the flower room.
-ill also be putting Mylar on all the walls in both rooms.
now any input would be great.
