Gotcha. I think the OP changed it to 6x8 though, 2nd or 3rd page. The room is 10x10 but he has to have veg and flower in there.
fuck it let's make it a 100x100 foot room and we will all grow there using all our advice on different plots and then have a big smoke out harvest time and laugh about all the shit we said here ?

Yeah, i see both points. Moving plants by hand would be impossible in my case though. In any case, moving them a few inches every hour? But the other advantage is half the light over the same area=half the heat, half the extraction etc. All my talk is theoretical though as I've never had one, but do want one badly! The way I see it, it's all one step forwards towards the GPW.
If you cool your light correctly then you shouldn't have a problem with heat. I have 8000w in my flower room and I can lay my face on the glass anytime of day. Water cooling buddy!!! Plus, I'm not saying move them every couple hours. Every other day or twice a week is fine. If you can't get to your plants then you need to redesign your room. I make sure I can get to any of them. You have to be able to check them periodically.

Again I see both points, especially if using multiple lights which would, to some extent solve the problem I mentioned earlier, but water cooling is too far for me in expense. FAB, I would love to spend a day in that room with you!

BTW, I grow in hydro flood-drain in big tables so moving plants isn't an option.
You can't rotate your plants though? You'd be surprised how inexpensive water cooling really is. The larger the grow the smaller the difference. It's actually cheaper and more efficient for me. On small grows you have to wait about 6 months to get your money back but if you are paying your electricity then you will see the difference. Plus you use no ducting, half the inline fans if that, fully sealed rooms, no a/c unit needed, etc... It's not that bad at all. I've seen 1-3 light setups done for relatively cheap.

No Phil, I can't move them. I plant straight into the tables without pots and also scrog with one screen for 4 plants. I will look more into this water-cooling. Any idea where to look? Do you think it will be worth it for me? Bear in mind I only use a single 250w metal halide for veg and a 600w hps for flower. I'm interested as I live in a converted loft and we have a police helicopter over here all the time.

There is a ton of info in the thread that's in my signature. A lot of guys building DIY stuff and passing the info around in there. In your case it can still be effective. It allows you to get rid of your a/c, cool your reservoir, generate Co2 without heat, dehumidify without heat, cool the heat from your ballasts, etc... It might have a bit of a setup cost but it's well worth it in the end.

No, uk unfortunately
why unfortunately i thought most brit hated us at least here they do lol
but reason i asked is in usa they can no long use flir on a house without a warrant to search and if they can get a warrant they dont need flir just kick door in and walk right in they wont waste money on the flir unless it is large but then again if they have probable cause for warrant then why flir just go in house

No, we don't hate you. Mind you, when I lived in Germany they did! Never did find out why.
Flir is quite common here. I guess it's more financially viable as we're all crammed onto a tiny island.

1000 watts light will be great for 10x10, it will blanket an 8x8 perfect if your lights can be hung at least at 7 ft. I build my spaces 10 ft wide to allow space to produce a small path down the middle for working amogst them. hang a 1000 light for optimal effect make shure you have vented sealed hoods to cary your heat out of the area.
ya know just in case the guy who oriinally posted this still was wondering. god by the time I could reply we had 20 pages of drama.

melungeonman-407712-albums-new-grow-vegies-picture2185747-picture-118.jpgCan't beileve someone suggested hanging 9 1000 watt hps, in a little 10x10. You couldn't get 2 great white hoods in there if you tried.
let alone 9. 1 sun system yeild master 6 in hood directly in the middle of a 10 x10 will allow aprox 35 3 gal tall nursery pots. you can leave a small path to service your plants. keep it vented in and out of the grow area and the glass on. you can keep these lights pretty close to the plants, hang your lights on zip cord hangers for easy adjustment, you will do fine see ....View attachment 2536397View attachment 2536400
