so how many lights are you going to run for veg??? if your going big ill bet a single 1000 mh on a light rail will be more than enough.... you can veg with just a fraction of the light you need for flower.... i would save power in the veg room and put more in flower room, also water cooled lights are not nessasary especially if your using ac/chiller and air cooled hoods

i want to run 4 to 6 lights in the veg room and 12-16 in bud room u really think i can run one 1000watt light on a light rail for a 12/12ft room that would be enough for a 300-500 seedlings?? how many lights do u recomend for bud in a 14/50 foot room??

ok calm down, but for veg you don't need that extreme of lighting. try to conserve power where you can by using tubed florescent lighting, one cool blue and other warm (also easier to raise and lower the light). concentrate as much high power light to flowering.

A 12 foot square room could take 4 1k watters for Optimum coverage. Its all about lumens per square foot.
9-10,000 lumens per square foot is close to what you would have outdoors. 4 1k lights can be exausted with one
1092 cfm fan with no problem with 8"-10" vents provided you have at least 15,000 BTU air conditioning dedicated
to THAT room.

It sounds like your growing large soil plants, so forget using floros - you'd never get the heat under control
considering how many you would have to use. I tried using 24 T5s in a room that size and the heat was unreal !

Well, if your running a perpetual grow, you want as much veg growth in as short amount of time as possible -
So the more light the better. 2 lights on a mover is still HALF as much light as 4 stationary...

Go with 4 - if $$$ is not that big an issue - it will just mean more bud in the end!
