Hello all, I think I have an interesting challenge with only 6 vertical feet of space, I would be so appreciative of any thoughts or suggestions. I have grown before, but never with anything as powerful as 1000w HPS lights. Is 6 feet enough room? Here is the setup that I have so far.
A nice big room, with a height of 6 ft.
Of that area I would like to have a light coverage of about 60 sq ft.
I plan to start with 32 plants, and grow them in a ScrOG style. I am growing from seeds. I will germ and veg. them with 1 1000w MH light which I will fan and vent. When I start to flower them I would like to add another 1000w light and change both bulbs to broad spectrum HPS. I will have a small air conditioner cooling the room, as well as an exhaust system from the reflectors.
I will be growing a high yield Chimera strain, and I would like for my plants to get big and bushy, but I fear that 6 feet will not be enough space to let them really go, and not get burned. What are the major flaws in my plan?
Would it be better to leave the screen out of it? So I will be able to more easily take out the males? And also have more flexibility in positioning the plants?
Would 2 600w lights be a better option given my vertical space limits? Light movers? I just am very unsure, I would love to hear any thoughts about my plan. If all works out, I promise to post fotos of the buds.
Thanks, WiiToke
