Hello was wanting some insight from some more experienced individuals about starting a grow room. The room is 8ft long x 6ft wide x 8ft high. I have some supplies 400 watt hps for budding (thinking on replaceing the 400 w with a 600 digi ) and wanna use fluoroescents for cloning and veg. I have 4 48 inch cool whites for cloning and a set of 4 48 inch full spectrum bulbs for veg. ( 8 fluros total ) I have a cloning machine as well. I also have an ozone genorator to combat smell and 4 inch vortex fan + hose running to chimney to be blasted out roof. Id like to grow "sea of green" method. Can someone please let me know what else i should get for the room setup. Was also wondering how many moms i would need and how many plants for each growth stage to maximize my room size. This room will have to be used for both cloning veg/ and budding. All the walls and floor have been painted flat white. Should i turn this room into two rooms for clone/veg and a flower area? Like makeing a two shelf cabinet for moms and kids, then a seperate cabinet or box for flowering? This would be my first time trying this method so all the feedback is welcome please share your knowledge so i can set this up properly..... thanks
 
Wow, you don't ask much. lol Is the room 8x 6 or 8 x5?? I wouldn't recommend two seperate rooms, get some panda plastic and seperate the area's. One straight line across the room two feet wide, 5' or 6' whichever it is. leaving 6' by five ' or six feet whichever it is. I'm having trouble thinking this thru. Covering plants at different stages of growth with one light is difficult. The 8 flourescent fixture you have is what I was using, I had them on two sets of shelves that are 4' by 18", two shelves on each set, 48 plants total in one gallon pots ready to go into ebb and flow tables. If you had one set of shelves like that you could have 24 plants vegging on the top two shelves and might be able to put the mothers underneath. Use the other four flourescent two above and one on each side mounted vertically to give light to the side of the mother plants. Have to think about this for a while. VV

get back with me when you can on this. what is panda plastic ? never heard of it. oh the room size is 8 x 5 x 8
 
This is about the same size as my grow room. I built a 4'X2 1/2' cloning room. I don't do SOG, but I clone and keep my moms in this box. I take cuttings, and keep them with moms till they show roots, then they go in the ebb&flow table.

Panda plastic is black on one side white on the other, commonly available at hydro shops, many sell it by the linear foot. Its about 10' (3Mtrs) long. Usually 4mls thick. Its durable, I have had the same curtains up for a year now, lined most of the walls with it too. VV
