Hey every one, first I would like to say that i'm a long time smoker, and former OG member. I have found RIU to be a new home I'm so glad I ran across your site. I have spent alot of time perusing your Different forums, sticky's, journal's, how to's , DIY's and have been very entertained.
I'm moving into a new place in the near future, and I've potentially got a decent grow area of about 3' W x 6 ' L x 6' H I was wondering if I used a 1K HPS light.
I'm actually using a spare 2nd full bath for this grow room. It's air conditioned and ventilated. Would i need any extra heat exaust application, I.E. Cool tube or air colled reflector via inline fan? or would the AC and the extra ambient air in the room/house be enough?
also i was considering stacking 4 or so of these side by side

it's a 6 - one gallon site DWC hydrosystem.
Will one 1,000 watt HPS effectively cover an area that is 24 inches wide, and 64 inches long? w/ 24 plants in a sea of green style production line. where 3 plants are going in and 3 coming out? every two weeeks or so?
I'm also open for any other suggestions that might allow me to better maximize use of the space.
Thanks for reading my post and I look forward to any ideas anyone might have.
P.S. I also considered using a simple system of Flooding and Draining 4 rubermaid Trays, that i would set 3 to 6 8" diameter net pots in, and move down the line as the production continues. thoughts?
