I would be worried about the 1000w heating up the flower room too much if it wasn't directly exhausted, what do you think? The room it would be in is 5x5x5.5( slants from 4-7).
think of that entire room as a giant parabolic hood
in my flower room i have (6) 1000w lamps. 4 are vented as if the room were sealed - from outside to outside with two 440 cfm fans each clearing out 2 lamps. the final two lights are in old school hoods that aren't air vented. that's alright though, cuz there is a third 1000+ cfm fan clearing out the entire room. think of a greenhouse, there is no ducting, they just clear out the entire room with a massive intake and exhaust fan.
sounds like that light will be hanging from the center of that area at about 5 1/2 feet clearance. that makes this a tight grow space. figure the lights gonna take up a foot with hardware (might as well just solid mount it as high as you can, cuz you won't need to raise/lower it.) leaving 4 1/2 feet under it. you gonna need/want about a 1 ft. of air space under the light even if it were glassed off and vented separate from the room. that takes you down to 3 1/2 feet usable space. your medium (soil or hydroponic whatever could take up to a foot pretty easily.) so you max plant height is going to be like 2 1/2 feet. you'll deffinitely want to flip them to flower by the time they reach 12" in height, maybe even top them a final time right at the switchover.
Do you think it would be possible to regulate air intake by putting on different sized reducers. For example, if one 6" duct is pulling more than I want, could I potentially put on a 6"-4" reducer on it to cut the intake?
deffinitely. anything obstructing the intake or the exhaust will quickly change airflow. a person can also spring for a thermostat control box for the fan which turns it on/off at a particular temp... or get a more expensive fan control unit that has like a on low, on med, on high, off thermostat settings. also, depending on where you live, what you do to 'summerize' the room may be different than what you'll need to do in the winter-time. the picture above should be fairly ideal in the summer months... but in the winter months you'd maybe want to have the passive intake in the flower room and the exhaust in the clone room - to further heat up the clone room. might still need a space heater in the clone room... and the thermostat controlled fan would then act as an intake in the flower room and would only come on intermittently - just enough to cool the flower room and ensure adequate co2. the carbon filter would be placed separately over the clone room exhaust.
I forgot to mention power is a little bit of an issue. I have one dedicated 20amp breaker, and a 15amp shared breaker that I don't want to run too much off of. That was another reason for the single fan.
not a problem running a 1k light and a good fan and even some flourescent fixtures for clone/veg. off the same 20 amp breaker.... but if you do end up needing any sort of climate control up there... and a.c. unit or a space heater - that would cut too deep and you'd need that running off the other 15 amp shared breaker.
and don't worry, i like talking shop
i've spent many a day daydreaming and sketching out different setups for different size spaces or different number of lamps or different media ... its a sickness.
