The room im gonna run the 4x8 table in is 8x16, as of now im gonna use the 1230 watts of cmh/hps i have, been trying to buy new lights but the logical side of me keeps telling me no.
I think im gonna seriously look into Co2 for the room tho. Would you run CO2 in my situation? 4x8 e&f table with 40+ plants from clone?

The one thing I am finding is important with CMH is to have plenty of ceiling height. Especially with the 1kW ones. They need like 3 to 4 feet above canopy. lol not happening in my space and the 600 just isn't performing.
I highly recommend CO2. I like generators because I am not hauling and changing tanks, just use the natural gas pumped into my home. They do add a little heat but with a controller they don't run that much unless your room is loosing air.
You don't have to keep the room as cool though so that energy savings probably compensates for the added heat... dunno, don't care, my yields are partly because I can get the plants on overdrive. I wouldn't wanna be without CO2 enrichment.

Ya i was gonna go the QB route, but even going with knockoff boards it was still gonna cost me 1400-1500 for 900-1000 watts , i can buy 2 x 1k de hps for a fraction of that.
We dont have natural gas in this province, would a generator still work for me? or would i need to go with tanks?

The fans that are blowing up between the lights and the side canopy are there to move the heat from the lights on the row ends. Don't wanna cook those side nugs. They also help with room air circulation but I put them there for the purpose of keeping some cool air between the 400w HPS bulb and the plants.
I do not have an IG.

Some day 16 shots of Room A:
Some beefy side canopy shots:
600 watt CMH plant slacking, it grows way better where it gets the HPS light, CMH is veg only for me from here on out:
So room B is looking like it's not doing as well as room A. These plants are just way better looking in person. So I am ditching the jacks, no fucking around lol. Gonna stick with what I know and has done me good for 30 years now.

Some day 17 shots of room A:
Those rows are getting narrow lol.
Here is an experiment I did earlier today in room B. I used my grow room glasses in front of the camera and got a pretty cool shot. I will have to try and remember to do this in the future.
Much easier on the eye huh?

They are looking great renfro.
I use the grow glasses in front of camera for all my pics usually, much better than the orange hps version lol

No the plants are too tall, I don't have the space to run the 1kW CMH right now, plants would be fried. This round really blew up big.

So I had to order a high CFM kit for my breeding tent. Even on very low setting my 10 " blower sucks the tent in really hard. I think this should solve the problem, I ordered two of them, looks like I can use them both and really beef it up lol. Yeah I know a 10 inch vortex is overkill for the tent but it was on sale cheaper than the 4 inch fan so I figured put it on a variac and just slow it down.
