Man, to do that kind of stuff in my climate you would need some real big a/c units.

I use 2 600 watt lights in an 8x8x8 room with almost zero heat issues in the room.I can put an easy 32 plants under those so in an 8x3 Id say you can go 1 row of plants between 8-12 plants.You reall wont need that much light you could use 2 on a light mover and actually get better results or use the 3 600 watters and swutch an mh light into 1 different ballast every 2 days ading the moving blue in there which will make the plants fill in real good and bushy
