Whats up guy I am currently putting together this room it is a 8x8 room I can make it 10x10 if I wanted. Money is an issue so Ihave a budget. I curently have 1 1000w lumatek and 1 1000w hortilux hps and 1 MH bulbs. I havn't decided on what hood to get I was looking at the parabolin 48" vertical and then put a 6 ft light rail up would this work? would it be better for me to use the one light with the rail or should I maybe just go with the 2 1000w setups? I also thought of 4 600W I am only working with 1500 bucks for ballast, bulbs, rails etc. I currently already have several 8" can fans, ducting light timers, and I do have a melon hood from last grow but wasnt sure if that wood be the best hood to use for a grow like this. I am just looking for the best way I can set it up to produce the best Harvest. this will be my third grow but def. my biggest. any suggestions would help thanks.

I have exactly this setup.. the 6 ft rail is a killer... i can run my hood like 3-5 inches from the tops i done even have to run a/c.. i still leave a walkway around so my real (growing) area is actually like 6x6 in a 8x8 room im growin out 25 larry og (clone) now...

I tried to run 2k in there but it got waaay too hot so i nixedthat as it sits the 8x8 has
265 cfm in ON 24/7
6"VORTEX ON MED MOSTLY
1K SUN SYSTEM 2 6" HOOD
SWITHCHABLE PHANTOM BALLAST
6 FT RAIL MY FAVORITE INVENTION IN THE WORLD

TRYIT IF U DONT LIKE IT ILL BUY IT USED =0 ... LMAO

remember... plants like lumens and not heat the closer you get the light the more they use it... the rail keeps the canopy flat too (like a scrog with no screen) thats what my 6x6 looks like maybe ill upload A COUPLE pics of my imaginary garden..;-)

This is what I was thinking I just buying the magnum xxxl hood and use that 6 ft rail.
I was thinking of useing 8x8 of the room with about 20 or so plants the room is actually 10x10 but with the one light and the light mover I was wondering if I could pull a nice yield, or would it be worth my time to get more light. and drop the rail.

the rail and magnum will give you a great spread and think they wil perform better under the 1k + rail due to less heat stress. for me(can).. you can definitely do 20... but keep in mind u dont want the canopy too deep so i am LST' them to fill space the n flip aftter i see no mo dirt.. personally i would do more than 20 if permitted .. and next run ill have 30- 40 under my 6x6 1 gal grow bags on top of 2 gal grow bags and veg for 2-3 weeks (doublepotted )

i was thinking of dividing mine int two rooms... hindsight is 20/20.. in retrospect i might have gone with a 400 watt veg and 600x2 cooled for flowering.. but to hell with it i have the gear now tryn stop me i just raise my 1k up of them for tahe first weeek or so to get them used to their new apartments.. =)
