Default room size question
ok i am most likely going to use 2 600 watt hps for flowering
i will clone with a mother plant using a 175 watt hps using cooltubes

so here are my questions
1) how big a floorplan should i use
how many plants and what spacing

2) do you think i should lay a box fan below blowing up through the plants?


any other tips would be killer oh and i will be shutting down for 1 hour durring darkness to pump co2
i will be using 1 pounds of bottling sugar and champagne yeast

oh and what hydro system do you think is best i was thinking aeroponic constant spray using 6 inch pvc pipes

aeroponics are cool but too much of a hassle for me to deal with, 600w hps are supposed to cover about 20 sq feet each, and as far as how many plant and spacing depends on what grow style your going to do, if you sog and lollipop them you can put 4 per sq foot in 6in square pots, just as long as the folliage doesn't mess with the plants next to it. thats more of an ebb/flow tray set up though. and for two 600w's your going to need some seriouse ventilation, i would air cool the lights and use CO2 as i've heard it helps the plants deal with the heat.

i was gonna use cooltubes to remove the heat and fans.
i may even have an AC running
i was even thinking about pumping the water out and into a refrigerator into a 5 gallon bottle with an overflow back to the main

keeping the water too cold can stunt your plants, its best to keep it around 70. but the cool toobs with fans running to/from them would do it just make sure to exhaust them to a differnt area/room or it kinda defeats the perpose.

no after you want the filter after the cool tubes not before to have air being blown though it not sucked through.

Co2 must be run during lights on.
