i need advice ....

If cost wasnt a huge concern, and i wanted to get the best of everything , from ventilation , to nutrients , lighting, refectors, wiring , and i have a decent size area thats lacoated in a basement.... i want to break down into 3 seperate rooms , 2 flowering , 1 veg , the 2 flowering rooms are about 6 by 12 ft and the veg about 8 by 8 ft..... I want to grow with soil atleast for now

1. what lights should i use? i was thinking for the 2 flowering rooms either 3 1000's , or 4 -5 600's ?

2 what brand nutrients , with what additives , ie bud buster ?

3. what type of ventilation , and whats the best way to do the layout for my ventilation needs, im pretty sure i can exhaust to a chinnmey , what size charcole filters would i need for the 2 flowering rooms?

4.should i grow in pots or , should i build table tops 4 by 4 ft beds, and how high should the retaining walls be , then fill them up SOG style?

5 , How much amps would i need , do i need a seperate sub panel , with 100 amps, and should just lights be wired to 240volts , and everything else 120? im not to experienced in this field at all .

i have grown b4 but never had the chance to set my own up as i do now , and to be honest its a lil intimidating , and the reason im asking for the best possible stuff is to have an idea, of the top brand equiptment now a days , and just an overall idea of cost to have something really nicely done

i appreciate any help so much , thanks

1. for your veg room, use metal halide lamps. for your flowering rooms, use high pressure sodium lamps. I would personally go with 5-600w for a more versatile setup (ie you can adjust them easier), but if you don't want it to be too cluttered, go with 3-1000w. they'll both work.

2. there is no "best" nutrient although some are clearly better than others. I have always used Advanced Nutrients sensei 2part and have had no problems with it and great results. AN has a TON of additives, you can go crazy and get them all if you want, or use common sense and get what you need.

3. the size of the carbon filters depends on the size of your rooms and the size of your fans. with the amount of lights you're going to use, i'd suggest air-cooling your lights and vent somewhere while you have another ventilation setup that brings fresh air in and the filtered air out. inline fans work great for pushing a lot of air through ducts and filters. also be sure you have oscillating fans around your grow room in both flowering and veg rooms to make sure to get lots of circulation to avoid a build up of moisture which leads to mold.

4. if you have the money and knowledge, i'd recommend using a aeroponic setup. although there is a slight learning curve to it, i believe it is the most efficient method. if you need a medium that is forgiving and low-maintaince, go with soil in which you should (depending on how large you plan to grow your plants) flower in at least 5 gallon pots.

5. if you're asking this question, you prolly should call an electrician to help you before you do anything. electricity is dangerous and you can not only hurt yourself, but can create a fire risk. to make things simple, P/V=I, where P is power, V is volts and I is current. A 1000w light on 120v will draw a 8.3A current.

I put my room on to seprate breakers.1 for lights 1 for fans.Both are 30amp breakers.I'm only runnin 1 600watt hps light and cfls in the veg room so far but will be getting prolly a 400watt m/h light for in there.I would recommend getting cooltubes for yer bloom lights to keep them cool.They work great and I can keep the light within 6 inches so far off the plant tops without burn.For venting I went with a 6" vortex hooked to a carbon filter with the cool tube haveing its own inline 6"duct booster fan.The tube draws from the veg room the carbon filter fan draws only from the intake in the bloom room which is a 6" intake.Plent of pic's in me journal so have a look.
