Ok so this is going to be my first grow. I have a 3x6 for my clone/ mother room, 7x10x9 veg room and a 8x10x9 flowering room. My goal is to have a cycle every 30 days is this possible? Was thinking 30 30 60 so I would be pushing new one's into the flowering room every 30 and pulling them out every 60. I puchased 2 Ocho XXXL 8" Sun system hoods with 1000 watt Super blue dual arc bulbs and 2 budget grow ballast for the Flowering room but finding out these monster hoods are looking to big for the room. If anyone could help me with some advice would greatly appreciate it. Everything is band new and still can be exchanged for other stuff. Was thinking I should of went with a smaller hood with 600 watts instead of 1000 watts.

Why are you trying to grow so much on your first grow? It will end up costing you i would say. In errors that is. The dimensions you describe are vast and i am no expert but i would say maybe start with something a little smaller in expectations. Not matter how much you read here and elsewhere it doesnt substitute for experience as i am learning the hard way. My only advice is if you are adamant thats the size you need then get someone in that has done it before.

Agreed. If this is truly your first grow then practice a little before jumping full into it. It can end up saving you a whole lot of trouble and money. Good luck none the less! :-)
