Okay, it hasnt been set up yet, so theres room for adjustment. Heres what I had in mind...
Haven't officially measured yet but I believe the room I am going to be growing in is roughly 8 ft. wide by 24-28 ft. long
I want to hook up
10 - 600 watt HPS hortilux with Radiant hoods with 6 inch cooling hole and ballasts
2 at a time like so:

----------
I will use ducting connections to the cooling holes in each hood and hook them to a central duct that will be cooled by an 8 inch inline fan that will exhaust the air through a carbon filter and out a hole in the back of the house, I will bury the ducting in a trench leading it 18 feet down a hill behind my house so as to avert smells and people getting nosy. I have no neighbors behind me and its a heavily wooded area.
I will be drawing air in through a 4-6" inline fan with the ducting tube in my garage to be filtered with a hepa cone filter and quieted through an insulated box
I am lining the growroom walls with panda paper gloss white (high reflectivity)
All of this is to be confined in the basement of my 3 story house with a lockable door that leads down there... almost like a dungeon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, build aside I am a seasoned grower and have a few questions to get more opinions....
Considering I have 6000 watts HPS to grow with, how many plants would you think I can pack in there without overusing my watt capacity? Also, should I grow them 2 foot and then flower or go for 24 x 1 foot flower of many plants to try and achieve the most yield? I will probably be growing a stout dominantly indica strain and am hoping to retrieve 5-6 pounds... is this realistic? No choice on ferts or nutes or anything yet, just trying to see if I have a good idea of what im going for. Other option is to grow 10-12 decently large plants. Which would you think might yield more?
My ceiling is your basic... 8, maybe 10 foot high ceiling.
All constructive criticism, flaming, suggestions and comments are welcomed. Please chip in with your two cents!! I am new here as I havent found a place to call home after Overgrow.com got shut down... that was my main source of info. Hopefully I can get some good intel so I can know whether or not to proceed with operation budblast.
