I am the definition of a Newbie.
Over the years the only thing I've grown is a Beard. Right now im researching on my first grow and after reading LOADS of information for months im closer to getting hold of some local clones and getting busy.
what I'd like to hear from you guys is how YOU would fill a 5 x 7 ft space. I know I said 600w in the title but feel free to explain why YOU think 1000w is better for that space, if thats what you think. I obviously have my own idea on it that im happy to discuss but im really interested in bouncing ideas with people who have an informed opinion. As you can probably tell, 36 plants will fill that 5 x 7 ft Grow Room, allowing each plant 1 SqFt each and allowing me to kill a bunch of em as I struggle on my first grow LOL ideally all 36 will survive my learning curve and I'll have weed to last months without venturing into the street.
So I would like to know how YOU GROWERS would light that space????
I know the uniform response to questions like this is to point out that "conditions vary blah blah blah" but right now I simply want to hear people's opinions on it. Dont worry im not gonna go out and buy anything based of your responses. Its just a discussion not LAW written in STONE. Here are some of the things you might want to know before you answer. The Room I'll be building my Flower Room in is 10 x 10 ft approx with a 8 ft high ceiling. As already stated the Flower Room will be a 5 x 7 ft room (within a room) However, for the purposes of this question the height or even the size of the Flower Room can be slightly altered if YOU think it will increase efficiency and help you answer the question. I can build a Flower Room of any size in the main 10 x 10 ft Room. The Grow itself will be DWC, with Control Bucket and Reservoir, the interior walls will have Mylar, the Cool Tubes will have Reflector Hoods etc. I also plan on using a Very Powerful fan to exhaust heat outside, as well as oscalating fans and CO2. The Flower Room will have a Light Baffle to allow the vaccum inside the Flower Room to be filled with air from the larger Room. For now dont worry about Clones, Odour or Nutes. My grow will def have Dehumidifiers / Humidifiers / Air Con to automatically maintain the perfect temperature. So again, please resist the tempation to simply answer "WELL IT DEPENDS..." Just relax and imagine the perfect environment control, DWC Grow, Room within a Room, with the Flower Room being approx a 5 x 7 ft space, evrything is perfect the birds are signing.... how would YOU light the Grow????
Oh, the plants will be vegged elsewhere from clone till at least ONE FOOT tall, then they will be placed into the DWC in the Flower Room for 2 months. At Harvest I would expect the plants to be no higher than THREE FEET, even if I have to use chicken wire to maintain the perfect distance from the Lights. The Strain im growing is quite hardy and grows short. If ive missed out Info let me know, but more to the point let me know what YOUR opinions are! I just want some dialogue on LIGHTS guys so let me know what you think. Much Appreciated !!!
Also wanted to apologise in advance if im breaking an unknown Rollitup Law by posting my thread in TWO separate places.... I posted my question in Newbie Central just now before I even realised there was a place dedicated to Grow Room design.... But as you can see I've given my theoretical room lots of thought. I've also highlighted the basics of it here in case my conditions effect your answer, so if anybody has anything helpful to add concerning how they would personally Light the 5 x 7 ft area I'd be very interested to hear it.
Thanks Again Fellas.
