ADVICE Expanding operation from 12 mums to 24 and expansion of veg

I am going to make my veg room bigger and my flower room hold more. For flower Im adding either 3 600 or 2 1000, and another 12 buckets for a total of 24.

As for veg Im buying another ebb and grow set up
Ill make it hold 24 which I will frame another room next to my flower room in the garage so as to only having feet to swap buckets come time.

So were at a total of 24 flower/ 24 veg all ebb and flo. Im running a 1000 and a 600 and am REALLY torn on how I should go about lighting the rest of my room and lighting my new veg room. I am between 2 1000 watts or 3 600 watters Im thinking 3 600 to get better coverage but what other benefits would this hold and what would be the negatives ?? I really want to run this as a PERPETUAL GROW this time to. Supply and DEMAND. I need more consistency if I want to keep my head above water in this rat race of Colorado MMJ.

As for my veg area................
Kind of clueless at the moment. Id like to go floro. I dont need to deal with anymore heat after adding these new lights in flower. I know Id get more vigorous growth from HID but how much. How much lighting and in what combo of lights would I need to run my veg room ? If it would be most beneficial to go HID I will but Ive always had luck with flo in veg ?

So with this said my confusion is on whats would be proper lighting for both flower and veg and what would be a good schedule to go by on a perpetual grow ?

What is the SQ footage of your grow area? Also are the walls lined with anything like mylar or atleast painted a flat white?

When it comes to your Veg room 99% of the time you would be best off using MH lighting. Your first 2-2.5ft are going to grow a good deal faster which will lead to a overall larger growth. I would assume 30% or more.

Yeah I was just discussing this on another forum. Thing is I am now battling with my vag room and my breaker box I think T5s are my best bet sadly. I am thinking of going with 4 2foot 6bulb T5s. What u think of this ???

If your grow room isn't more then 16-20sq ft then your probably ok, otherwise your lumens to sq ft might be too low. Thats the problem with CFL's. You wan't app 3,000 lumens per sq ft. Those put out around 12,000 lumens each.
