hello all,

new to growing i have an idea just wanted a little advice.

i have a room 9ft by 3.5ft by 7ft high. my idea was to do a vert grow and have shelfs going round the walls of the room maybe just one, so two levels of plants going round the outside 3 x 600watt hps cooltubes. 2 6inch inline fans, one with carbon filter and 2x oscilating fans was thinking maybe 20-25 small plants in medium size buckets

any advice aprreciated peace.

3x600w might be a little bit overkill, and imo one inline fan should be able to cool it all without a problem. Other than that, I see no problem

Balls to the walls you could cram 6x600W bulbs in there, lol... But three 600W bulbs is definitely not overkill. I fear it won't be enough to properly light more than just one tier of plants.

Sufficient light pressure from HID almost always requires active climate control due to excessive heat buildup in an enclosed space. Nature of the beast, remember that this heat (in moderation, too much of anything is bad) is helpful for the plants to transpire water and bring minerals up the stem.

Check out Heath Robinson's vertical grow. 80 something plants, ONE 600 watter, and he pulled like 46 zips or something. Don't underestimate the power of the 6! :3
