This is my first grow room.. I have tried to read as much as I could to try and get this right or as close as possible.. any advice please shoot it my way.. Heres the layout

I have a 6x4 Room.
The walls have white plastic.
There is 2 600 watt genesis digital ballast with hoods that take up almost the room.
Also theres 6in ValueLine fan that has insulation to both hoods.
For Co2 im using a CAP Gen 1
I have 22 pots in the room that are 3g that are filled with fox farm ocean forest

Yeah im also a little confused on your watering system and spacing requirements when your plants get more mature. Will you be growing an indica or sativa? Have you thought about setting up a reservoir drip system? I think that may be your best bet as it will save space. You could have the resevoir right dap in the middle it would space your plants out perfect and you would only have to move one to get to your water supply. But not gonna lie, thats a pretty sexy grow room for a first timer.

Remove 18 of the 22 pots and you will have 4 midsized plants to fill that entire room. Also, you may want to put plastic "saucers" underneath the pots to catch the runoff water. Add a recirculation fan in the room as well. Also, are you venting the heat from the lamps outside?? If so, you may want to invest in a carbon filter; flowering cannabis is quite odorous.

...nice setup bro, good and clean!
...a couple things I'll give ya....flower your plants with very little veg, this will keep them on the smaller size...I flower clones that have 1 week of veg myself...high density gardens are "theee shit!" IMO....nothing like a sea of colas! :leaf:
...that Fox Farm Ocean Forest is good shit, if you flower your plants early you should be able to go through your whole grow giving them water only, I do it all the time....FFOF is full of pure organic goodness...your job is to make sure the microorganisms in the soil are not harmed and they'll take care of your plant...do not add any chlorine, salts (chemical fertilizers), or preservatives to your soil, these will kill the microbes.

hth, happy growin!

I agree. You MAY have too many plants in that space. Also, can you move ANYTHING that generates heat OUT of the room(ballasts)? I feel pretty strongly that you are going to have heat issues eventually.

I think I would put 2-3 plants in 30gal pots. Veg the sh*t out of them and lst, top, fim and SCROG them!!! You will yield more with 2-3 plants that have been heavilty topped, pruned & SCROG'd than you ever will with 20 in that space.

Also, start thinking about a DWC hydro setup. A hydro grower complete 2 cycles and yield probably 4-6lbs more than you before you harvest your first gram.

Overall your room looks good and you are definitely headed in the right direction. Keep tweaking your setup. After your 1st grow you'll tear it all apart and re-do it using the knowledge that you gained. And you'll do it about two more times before you feel like it's perfect.
