Currently using an 8ft long x5ft wide x8ft tall room (in the basement lol old laundry room) growing in soil (thats not changing please keep this in mind for any brainstorming we do thank you) and using 2 diy quantum boards 96 diodes per strip 3 strips each run by 240w mw drivers total of 480w of quantum leds, also 1 600w hps and 1 600w mh bare bulb hanging with the leds, 6 inch canfan and carbon filter bringing air in at 440cfm and ac exhausting air at 800cfm (negative pressure 
) not limited to what i can do inside the space i own my home but cannot change the size of the space... i currently flower 1 or 2 plants at a time after a nice long veg (2-4 months depending on whether i flower 1 or 2) ill take some pics of the room but im trying to fit a 4x3 tent to veg in and maximize my flower space and really fill it up so i can pull some poundage and im looking for what some knowledgeable people think about plant counts and maximising my efficacy in my space and what is honestly fesiable... pics will be available later when the lights come on lol... please dont pollute this by arguing please and thanks

checked electrical (all good, the pics are of the new veg tent i put in the room last night, and of the electrical connections i think you may have been worried about i circled the connections in red (wire nutted connections on the dc power side of the drivers, only connections anywhere near the grow besides the boards themselves) the orange line is just the dc wiring back to the dimmers installed on every driver between driver and leds, the light controller is mounted to the wall to the left side of the tent and hardwired to a 240 line that runs directly up and out of this room to my panel. I just want you to know im not trying to have an electrical fire, there is no where water and electricity can be together anywhere in this room, all cords are hung from the track the lights are hung from above the plants, all the plastic you see is stapled with tape over every staple and seem to keep this room sealed from the house, any tape you are refferring to in the pics on an electrical wire is to keep the wires together they are wire nutted to make the connection not twisted and taped and the plug and play connectors i used for the boards is taped down on the board to stay in one easy plugable location also helps when moving lights around it keeps everything the way it should be together... i wasnt tryna be defensive i did take offense to what you said until i stepped back and realized i was asking for help but lots of time and change has been made to this room, it was stripped to bare concrete and stud walls and plastic was put up against all the wood, the walls the ceiling, totally air sealed the room even as far to sprayfoam every single seem in the wall and ceiling and floor before putting up the plastic and spray foamed from both sides of the walls and ceiling where i could access the other side of said locations, i work 5 days a week sometimes 6 or 7 and have very little time to do much past taking care of the plant, the enviroment in there is good and the air is clean and brought in from outside the house, that tarp is or wss rather messy (found the broom but no bleach while they ladies are in the sun lol) but it is old and i dtw the water right onto the tarp because it drains to a floor drain (beats having those stains on my concrete floor and keeps all the water where i want it instead of the rest of my basement) i really just wanted some ideas to look at about revamping the layout, i really didnt mean to be defensive and i do appreciate the advice honestly just caught me off gaurd with the electrical stuff and i got pretty stuck on making it clear that it was done correctly just not hung as neatly as some would be (also working on that so it doesnt look like an electrical fire happening) have to wait for this ladie to be done flowering but i am building an electrical channel in the ceiling and localizing all the wires to one channel (pvc conduit) and the ballast and drivers will all be localized to a (for lack of better terminology) "ballast board" ill be mounting on the wall to the left of the grow tent
