Thank you ! I have been worried about heat tho since its summer where I am and once I get both lights burning I know temps will sore high since I did a test burn for a few hours so I think a wall mount ac is going to need to go in only problem is my current breaker box that I'm using isn't big enough well it may be but I don't want to push to hard on it

Well it looks like your in a basement so that may help keep it cooler, I did mine in a lower level once and drew the air in from lo on my floor and it was enough to keep the room at 80, which was little warm but they seemed to love that temp. Now being above the ground level if it gets above 80 outside I have to run my Air Conditioner, Sometimes on a humid day I run my dehumidifier only, it keeps my heat down in the lo 80s at night mid 60s but like I said mine seem to like that temp.
If you decide to run your air, can you use a different outlet?. and if you can make sure if you run a power cord, make sure it is rated for your application. (Heavy Duty)
By the looks of what you have going on you should be happy with the room, now getting good stains will really improve your room to its full potential.

It does look like a basement hey lol but it's not it's in my garage not attached to house only has a 20amp breaker 
it's very old mind you built in the 60s I would say but my strains are pinapple haze that's the little baby's and sour d that's the bigger girls that being said , I can get away with running one light at 600w for now but even if I run 2 at 600 it's gets hotter then I like even hotter with 2x1000 ....but I have a hot tub that's powered by a separate 50amp breaker so my plan is junction of that line and run a bigger box in shop cause I am evauntaly going to build another room for just veg well that's my master plan any how but as it is now I don't think I can run 2x1000w plus my vortex fan and two osolating fans and a added air conditioner and not have something bad happen like blow a breaker when I'm not around or something what do you guys think? would I be safe to wire another plug off existing breaker for ac ?

I'm a newbye, I grow in boxes so it's just an idea, but on your 3 pic ... you have ballasts and power plugs inside the grow area, is that wise? in a grow area you might foliar feed your plants or in order to get rid of an infestation spray everywhere with pesticide or simply condensed water due to high humidity from my point of view that's playing with fire ... I think you should keep that kind of stuff away from plants as much as u can to avoid big problems ...
just my 2 cents
good luck and happy growing

That is what I did with mine ran them off my spa breaker, because I am in the same situation room was only set up with one set of breakers, so i did that but made sure I put another GFI before the outlets do everything runs through a GFI. so you can rest knowing if something goes wrong it will trip the breaker, or if you get moisture it will reduce the chance of getting electric shock. Sounds like you have some really good stains for the room that will really brighten it up.

Here's a few more birds eye pictures ,,, I find with these they are very stalky rather short but little
Bush monsters , but I have topped them and had might as close as possible zero stretch they are 7 nodes high but very stacked no more then a inch and a half apart is that good or bad I don't know ,,, I have raised light higher now hoping they will gain a bit of highly not sure how much they will grow in size when I trigger flower ,,,any input would be great
