Follow my grow guide setup for equipment you'll need and whatnot, change things such as lights etc to suit your grow space/setup.

I wouldn't worry about your flowering lights for now bud, get some t5's if you can afford it. Focus on the vegging stage!

In my sig, there's a link to my grow journal. Everything is listed on the main post

The best thing I can say is research, research, and research some more. Your light selection sounds good, T5's are excellent for vegging and mixing HPS with MH for your flowering spectrum is usually preferred. I wouldn't buy an extra 1000w though for any stage of flowering, if you're going to run a mix spectrum you might as well just run it all the way through flowering imo.

That's what I'm curious I wanna do my plants in 30 day cycles the strains I pick are all 8 week flower so I figure every four weeks I can take three replace three and have six total all times, now I can do 3 600 watts and a 1000 or just 3 1000 watts, but like I said I was thinking making one of the 600s mh for added blue spectrum

Why are you telling him to follow your grow guide when you're growing in a 80cm80cmx180cm grow tent and he's growing in a 8x10 room? That logic kind of escapes me. To the OP, I'm sure there are things that you can learn from his grow guide but with the kind of space you're growing in you need to research elsewhere. If you're now thinking about 3 1000w's you gotta consider your ventilation of course

Are you going to do a veg and flower room, or just a flower room?

Right if I use air cooled hoods do u think I could get away with it with the heat, I wanna avoid a ac

I will have both I'm not really worried about veg I'm just using a t5 8 bulb should be plenty and I have a cloning dome that works well for my bud

Gotcha, so is the 8x10 the dimensions for the whole space or that's just what you're working with for the flower room?
