Im looking for alittle information on lighting and venting a room. First i was wondering what the max coverage is on a 1k. Would the hood come into play on coverage? room size is 8 x 12 but can be made 8 x up to 16. I have 2 - 1ks and a few 600s. Room is insulated and made it trew the winter so im guessing an a/c would keep it cool threw summer. Whats size a/c would work best? My max coverage from the 1ks would determine the amount of plants. Anything needed can be bought. Inline fans,extra scrubber. Thanks for any info you can help me with. Im running in 2 4x4 tents right now and run the lights on opposite 12s to help keep the room warm. Im looking to get rid of the tents for summer so i can run the lights only at night. Thanks again.

I believe the max coverage for the 1k is around 8x8, or 64sq ft, but optimum coverage would be to keep the watts per sq/ft at 50 or better

Depends on the hood for the spread:

I believe adjust a wings give u a 4' x 6',and magnums give you a solid 5 x 5'

That will play a roll in how big of a AC also....

Generally depending on your area you want 4-6000 BTUs per hood.... You want the extra btus for dehumidifier, or maybe a co2 burner if you ever decide...
