What’s up guys?

Time to change the room around a bit and make more use of my space.

Current Set Up:

-20x15 Room(Approx). With slanted walls/ceiling.
-10 RDWC buckets, 6&4.
-1000&600 watt HPS
-Exhausting the hot air with a 8 inch exhaust out the window of that room that is all covered up and looks nice from the outside.
- I’m currently bringing in cold air from outside via 6 inch exhaust fan that’s going into the room across, and getting cold air from the window.

I have lots of space to the right of my plants right now. I’d like to add another 4 bucket set up and most likely another light. Only problem is the ceiling starts to slope down and not sure how hanging a light on a slope will turn out

I’d like to add stuff to the right. As you can see the ceiling starts to slope right after where my current set up is.

I don’t think the ceiling studs should hold another HPS light right next to the other one, and the next stud is in the middle of the slope, like 6 feet away from floor.

Or I would assume most LED lights are lighter, could I add one of those? Seems like led lights are a whole ballgame in themselves, as in lots to learn.

I also have heard that it won’t be smart to be bringing cold air in the is 20 degrees. What should I do instead? Run a AC in that adjacent room and just pull that air in in?

I currently have a mild case of PM i’m fighting, it either occurred because my temp swings were like 15 degrees for a week. ( I now have it about 81 lights on and 76 lights off. with 35-40 humidity) Or when i was bringing my outdoor plants to dry in that adjacent room , maybe one had some i never saw and it spread? None the less after this harvest i’m going to deep clean the room before i bring the girls vegging currently in. What’s the best approach to that? I want to try to best remove all the PM spores and sanitize everything.
Also is there like a monthly little cleaning tasks anyone would recommend?
Have girls vegging right now that are like 3 weeks and just seeds that just popped the other day. Flower girls are like week 6.5 and5.

It would be cool to add quantum boards on the slanted parts of the ceiling and keep all plant in center. Would help with lighting down low and sides
 
Anyone have any good like monthly cleaning shit?

Like obviously keep floors clean and shit but like.

Clean fans once a month, spray room with H202 once a month?
Clean buckets every two runs?

What LEDs are out there sub 600$?? That arnt china poop?

I want to add a 4 bucket to the right of my current and add a LED becuase of heat and electricity.
Add one on a slight angle and it can mostly juice those 4 but they will obviously have lots of HPS around also.
 
What ballast are you currently using because most things are made in China, Korea...?

Haha i guess i didn’t mean that.. Yeah sure my HPS ballast is made in china.

idk. i see lots of those little square led grow lights with like pink colors and they always seem cheap, But i see other people with LES lights that are quantum boards or look like a normal grow light not all pink and stuff. haha Not sure how to explain
 
I know a couple commercial guys running LED with built in cobs
They look for the higher actual wattage use then flood the zone with them
Cheap yes ...Chinese? definitely
