One Room Maxed Out or Two Rooms Veg&Flower?

I am debating whether I should go with one room or two rooms?

I have two 800W Real Led COB (vero29se) fixtures. (1600W Total). One fixture takes up a full 4ft x 4ft space... minus like 2-3inches on all sides.

I know if I put them both in a 6x6 room I probably will not be able to run them at 80-90% because of heat and space. Most likely have to dim to 50-75%. I would also have to reconstruct my fixtures so they can both fit in my flower room.

Or should I run one 800W fixture in a 6x6 flower room for flower. And run the second 800W fixture in a 4x4 tent for veg? (and I can't switch the room dimensions for flower and veg... flower has to be in the 6x6 space.)

Do you think I would yield more with two separate rooms? for example, Veg 2.5 months while the other room flowers and dries, then repeat? Or run a 3.5 month (veg and dry) cycle with one room.

I would butcher one of the rigs if drivers make it possible and split them to 1200w and 400w flowering with the 1200 in the 6x6 giving you 33.3w per square foot and then veg with the 400 in the 4x4 and train them so once they are moved to flower room they can be super cropped to fill the 6x6.

Is that possible with the drivers your using, I assume its not an 800w driver?

Good Idea, I didn't even think about that! Yeah they're 400W drivers, two drivers per rig. So I could basically cut one frame in half and take one driver with it.

I'd probably have to rebuild and space out the cobs for the other half of the frame (for the veg tent to), but I'd much rather have the 1K+ W. in flower.

Nice thing about one room is there is a lot of redundant equipment that you wont have to have.

Yes that's true. Will the pros of an extra solid 6 weeks of vegetative time and an overall one month smaller cycle, outweigh the costs of a couple inline fans and filters?

(Just typing that really has me playing this out... potential for 2 extra harvests with stronger veg.'ed plants... I'm starting to like the sounds of that!)

I find you can get away with a pretty simple veg area... light, fan, filter. humidifier maybe. Flower usually needs more equipment though.

I would really only need to get a tent, fan and filter.

As apposed to putting the entire 1600W in the 6x6... where I won't really be able to fully utilize that full 1600W.
