hey all!! so i want to grow 200 plants in 2 tents(10'x10'x7'high)with 6x1000wdigital per tent and have 3rd tent (5'x5'x7'high)for cooling and co2 enrichment. i have central air conditioning that i can pipe into the cooling/enrichment room#3...if that isnt enough then a small air conditioner. also i might go with cool tubes for the bulbs.
so i want this to be an enclosed system that just recerculates the air and cools/enriches it and then back to the room. i will only have 1 tent going at a time(5am-5pm) then switch to other tent(5pm-5am).
does this set up sound good?? should i go with stadium set up or flat but off floor 6"-12"??
thanks for any help/suggestions.

You know I have to ask

Why do you need to grow 200 plants

Is this your first grow. If so you need to start small.

keico ^ was right. you are asking too many questions about things that should come first nature if you are going that big. that said, in a 10' by 10' tent you'd only need (4) 1000w lights per tent for great coverage. Deffinitely go with cooltubes in a tent, you'll need all the cooling power you can get. I recommend 8" cooltubes. buy 6 to 8" reducers for each side of the cooltube so you can use 6" ducting. By the time you stick a bulb in the 6" cooltubes you are seriously hampering the flow of air.

if you are using two different tents for flowering then a third tent would be needed for clones under some flourescent lighting.

But before you run down this road might i suggest that you skip the tents all together? What sort of area are you working with? Do you have two separate extra bedrooms?

thanks for the info guys...not new just trying something new(tents and co2).
the tents are so i dont damage the rooms or the rest of the place(mold,holes for hoses,etc.)
i have 2 spare rooms downstairs and the big boiler room for the 3rd tent that is just for cooling/enrichment.
