Ok my question is this my growth/veg area is 45IN wide by 9ft long with a seprate partioned area of 26in wide by 5ft long for a possiable mothering/cloning area when the time comes. The room is totally encased in panda poly. (same thing I used to create the small partition for the to be anounced area). Its going to be all soil growth what lighting options should i look at?
Oh height if it matters of the room is 6ft6in. With another 9ft long by 5ft wide area conectedto the veg/flower area for misc tending/poting/storage.
The budget is now down to $1500 for all things remaining. How much of this should I put towards lamps and what types?

My personal theory is I should look at a bunch of full spectrum T5 fluros for the room so I can save a little on my electric bill get more grow lamps and save on hardy heat dispertion setup for the MH/HPS combination lights that cost an arm and a leg. Do an EVC unit with temp and Co2 instead.
Can I make up for the diffrence using a fluro mixture of lamps with out losing much plant productivity?
I'm hoping to run 27 plants in the veg/flower area.(so CFLs are pretty much out)

BTW all things remaining is considered an exhaust fan with ductwork cabonair filter for odor control resevior nutes water pump for resevior air rocks and heating for the resvior small heating unit and whatever I'm forgetting. soli and ya know

This 600 watt system is recommended for gardens anywhere between 4’ x 4’ (floor space) to 7’ x 7’.
This is simply the BEST Electronic Ballasted High Intensity Discharge (H.I.D.) Grow Light System with Air Coolable Reflector on the market today. Top Qualtiy Construction and Components combined with Outstanding Value make this the perfect choice for your grow light needs.
Digital Ballast info:
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY IS THE GREATEST ADVANCEMENT IN GROW LIGHTS IN 35 YEARS!
MANUFACTURED BY "DIGITAL GREENHOUSE"
This is a HIGH OUTPUT DIGITAL ELECTRONIC BALLAST that operates both 600 watt High Pressure Sodium and 600 watt Metal Halide Lamps
The DIGITAL GREENHOUSE Electronic ballasts are more efficient and reduce energy consumption.
The DIGITAL GREENHOUSE Electronic ballast improves lighting quality and increases garden yields.
The DIGITAL GREENHOUSE ballast features patented "soft-start" technology which increases lamp life and stops voltage spikes on your power meter. The soft-start technology allows for 50% less power consumption during lamp startup and drastically reduced energy consumption overall.
The DIGITAL GREENHOUSE electronic ballast is lighter, smaller and more reliable than standard technology "core and coil" ballasts. It is also virtually silent, no noise or hum.! The ballast is totally sealed, which protects the unit from dust and dirt, ensuring a lifetime of trouble-free operation.
The DIGITAL GREENHOUSE electronic ballast has a built in "smart chip" and AUTOMATICALLY adjusts to Metal Halide or High Pressure Sodium bulbs. There is no need for a "switch" or to change systems, simply change from MH for vegatative growth to HPS for the flowering phase of growth.
The DIGITAL GREENHOUSE electronic ballast operates at a high frequency (20,000Hz) instead of the lowly 60Hz of standard core&coil ballasts. This allows the lamp to operate more efficiently, produce more usable light for plants and last longer. Lamp lumen loss is minimized allowing for a brighter system over time and extending usable lamp life.
Energy consumption is reduced and on average will save over $100 per year on electric bills.
The DIGITAL GREENHOUSE electronic ballast operates cooler than standard systems improving ballast life and reducing temperature in your growing area.
The DIGITAL GREENHOUSE electronic ballast plugs into standard 120v household current. Easy to use, Easy on the electric bill!
TWO YEAR WARRANTY on Ballast and Components
MaxWing Reflector
Measures: 14" long x 13" wide x 5 1/2" deep.
This Reflector is Compact and Powerful. Made from highly reflective (95%+ reflective) polished aluminum this reflector will not rust, corrode, chip or discolor. NOT made from inferior chrome which, under the intense heat of an H.I.D. lamp, will chip, fade and discolor over time. This Reflector is built to last a lifetime. It combines the high reflectivity of the mirror like finish of the polished aluminum with the excellent light dispersal qualities of a dimpled or hammertoned surface. This is simply the BEST material to use for H.I.D. lighting reflectors. The horizontal configuration delivers the maximum amount of light over the entire garden. Hammertoned surface eliminates "hotspots" and ensures lush, even plant growth.

hopiing to eventually push it to 2 ozs a plant per harvest if possiable with Jack herer Sativas

So two of those 600w running the HPS/MH would cover that area pretty good for 27 plants?
(pretty sweet conversion bulb solves the problem $600 bucks for two with both lamps and a mec. timer or three still under 1k) any special wiring needed or run em 120V plug and play? with three of those for the veg flower area what could I still do for $100 or so bucks for the cloning mother area?
