The one thing that's been bugging me about 5x600 in a 4x12 space is best placement. i can't figure the optimum. For 3x lamps it's easy ... divide grow into three squares and center a lamp over each square. But five into three ~scratches chin~ cn

I realy wanted this troll to try and fight me. He has been doing it all day. Not that he wasn't informative in some post but just not a real grower. Guess posting real pics got him scared. Fuck it. Now all now I realy grow. And back my shit up. Prove me wrong and I will thank you for it. I'm always looking for ways to improve my grow. But helping others not do what I did is my main goal.

got some rum and a half gram of some good no-name, and two types of really decent mersh. Working on the rum while cooking, will make a custom blend to go with the meal when the noodles are done...

I wouldn't buy that many lights, you are talking about a 12 foot table. Break that into two 6 foot sections, buy 2/1000W bulbs and throw them on light movers. A 1000W HPS' footprint is 5'x5'. Now if you have a 12x4 table it should easily be able to cover the width of that table. The interesting thing is with light movers and the footprint of (1)1000W HPS, at any given time only 1 foot on each section is going to be unlit. Plus that means you only have to move the light across a 1 foot linear path. This is the most efficient way to light the table and to save the most money. I mean seriously, (6) 600W ballasts? Fuck that, I guarantee the exact same yield from 2/1000W HPS on light movers covering that table. Why use so much electricity? An even better idea is to have two rooms with two 12x4 tables, buy 2/1000W HPS ballasts, buy a flip-flop relay and run both rooms on 12/12 all the time. Now you are running your ballasts 24 hours a day, lighting 2 rooms with 2, 12x4 tables. That is efficiency my friend.

Fucking genius lol. Same amount of yield in the same amount of time. You just harvest twice instead of one big harvest :p Perfect..

rexell. a relay is a contact device that can be powered by a small cord from your timer and is activated (closes) when a small amount of power is supplied. The contact is an on/off circuit that can handle the power of several things at once (ie, multiple ballasts). A flip-flop relay is one that is always on, but the power supplied from your timer causes it to switch between one circuit and another (two rooms, half the ballasts). If you like, I can forward you a schematic. Peace frog.

Fuck off dom, plenty of us know what's up, and you're just a bitch.

I did read the entire thread, even if I skimmed some of the fest(er)ivities. I remember someone advocating 5x600, but don't recall mention of the placement pattern. I remain honestly curious, and am not looking to stir controversy. cn

The op droped out so I wasn't able to find out the real layout of the room. So that is why it got this far with the troll. I wish I knew more. So o could help the op. I was thinking 1 room veg to flower so that was my idea. Start under 1 600. As plants get bigger go 2 600 then start 3-4. Once tables are full and in flower go all 5 with hps and flower. But duckhead scared the op off so no real idea.

To tell you the truth if you have the power to run 3000w of lights and everything eles needed for a grow room that size a AC won't change your bill to much. Mine dosnt run 24/7 it's on a temp switch keeping it at 80. Took out 1 600 and added T5's for veg and my bill went down. And that was after adding a larger dehumidifier and more fans. I don't understand why you are so bent on not useing a AC to cool the room. There are tons of ways to hide them. And you don't need the expensive stand up units from the hydro stores. A cheep window one is what I use. And I can tell you how to create a hot room for it so you don't have to have it in a window. But anything used to cool a room will make heat. So if not vented right it's counter productive and waste of money.

I know all of this, and have always used a window unit. This time around I'll probably just go with a stand up, because I feel like I get room leakage when I cut a hole in the panda plastic for the window unit. I cut holes so the back of my dehumidifier doesn't let heat in the room as well. Basically I hate A/C because I've always had trouble completely sealing my room due to it's weird dimensions and the A/C is just another added hassle.

You need the dehumidifier left alone to do it's thing. The air it puts out is the dry air if you evac. It you gain nothing from it being in the room. You realy need the air from the dehy going into the room. Or it's pointless. Hot dry air is what you need. But coolig the heated air is another thing.
