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

Right I'm using my basement it's pretty wife open I just built a little 6x6 veg box

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

Bro, no disrespect but a sealed room is a whole new level and alot more work compared to a tent.

It doesn't have too be complete sealed I'm not using Co2 and I'll be pulling the hot air out of the room with vent

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.

That's why I wrote "change things such as lights etc to suit your grow space/setup."

I gave him a rough guide on things he'll need within his grow, your logic escapes you because you're incapable of reading..

If you could keep them cool then you could get away with 3 1000w's in the 8x10 space, T5's in the 6x6 of course. Do you have idea for your ventilation yet? Do you have somewhere you could vent the hot air? That's going to be key

I figured I could just send it out of the room into the rest of the basement?

Or if needed could go out the window but wouldn't that increase the chances of bugs n what not?

Out a window would be better. Just have to fashion some type of exhaust and then put a screen/filter on it for bugs.

OK gotcha, so it would be better with 3 HPS 1000 watt vs one 1000 watt two 600 hps and one mh? I think I could just add vent too take care of the heat regardless of the two options

If your concerned with resources Josh, then I say go with two 600watt hps for the flower room and a 6 X 6 should work out fine for 4 or 8 plants. You could pull a lb every 8-12 weeks.

I can only have 6 in flower in Maine for mm

I just wanna have biggest yield and good quality like the rest of us haha, maybe do two 1000 and a 600 mh if read multiple growers having success added the mh on the mix

He said he has 2k, it doesn't sound like he's worried about resources.

I'd go with the 3 1000w's and do 2 HPS and 1 MH, that's my opinion

Mh mixing in is good imo. I just finished a grow mixing HPS/MH in flower and am very impressed with the results

I'm hoping for two pounds per month or every three plants

Also I plan on ordering my seeds from attitude already have the order picked outout ( Barney's critical kush) and ( bcbd ultimate purple ) has anyone used them for seeds I hope I don't get screwed

"Right if I use air cooled hoods do u think I could get away with it with the heat, I wanna avoid a ac", Uh, I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to fork out $400 on some air cooled hoods. Want to know why? Because they're EXPENSIVE.

And 3 1000w's is far too much.

Well I can get a sweet deal on two raptor xxl hoods ballast and bulb for 6 change

This is my issue I want the most lights I can without heating problems so I can only vent air cooled
