hey guys, so i have begun to tackle my room for my next grow. I have done a few closet grows in the past and now that i have some idea of what i am doing im gonna step it up a notch. so i am working with a 12x9 room with a 9 ft ceiling. I am going to section off a shelf that is 5x3 the 5 feet running along the wall and sticking out 3 feet, same width as the door frame, for veg growth, im going to keep my mothers on the bottom, then have a top shelf for clones. Both of these are going to be lit with flourscents and cfl's. So my actual flowering space will be 9x9x9. What is considered ample lighting. I know i can proably fit 4 1000w hps lights in it, but that will create too much heat and i still want to "fly under the radar on my electric bill. So i am thinking 2 1000w hps lights with the 400w hps i allready have in the middle a little closer to the plants. Will this be enough? Also i am considering investing money in a ebb and grow system and getting the expansion pack for more buckets, i think you can go up to 48pods with that system. However due to clash flow issues, i think the first time im just going to do soil. How many plants can i fit in here? I want to maximize the amount of bud my room will produce. (dont we all?) so im not sure if i want to go with alot of small plants with little veg time, or go with less but bigger plants. Any suggestions? keeep in mind the room has a pretty tall ceiling, which got really lucky, this should help with heat issues, also i can grow taller plants in here. Thanks for reading guys. If i use 2 1000w lights and 1 400w light how much bud should i expect? Im figuring if i do everything correctly i should get 4-5 lbs, but whats a more realestic number? I am going to be using co2 and foxfarm nutes. Also i allready have the dehumidifier, needed fans, sulfur burner. I need to get a tdm meter, and also i need to get mor phup and phdown. i have northern lights, bubblegum, super silver haze, blue mystic. I want to grow all 4 in here. any thoughts guys.
