Ok sorry this will be a bit long.. I now have 2 1k hps in an grow area that is 7x7x8h. I have great air movement, no need for co2, big carbon, perfect air temps, 50 gallon rez on four plastic fence tubes with 50 3" holes/stations.. I have grown 28 plants with trimming throughout the grow but still very dense and hard to manage.. I am afraid to trim to much and I think I under do it because of that... This harvest I had 1k hps and added another half way through a 65 day finish. I yielded 30 oz's. I want to know how to maximize the space and not over crowd it.. Want good big colas and less side stuff so to speak... So please give me guidence on what to do? How many plants, how much and when to trim ect. I use great nutes Botanicare Pro Bloom for soil but as I said I use it in hydro tubes.. Those tubes have sprayers on top and good run back for a kind of areo/NFT film affect... Ph stays great at around 5.7 and I like to drop it to 5.3 some of the grow because I read in a good book that in hydro max uptake of P/k is acheived at 5.2.. But for the most part I keep it at 5.7 and top off with fresh water every day and renute to around 900ppm till big buds are formed and then inch it up to 1200/1300/1500 for last 3 weeks or so... Went a bit high this last grow and do not think it was right for them... It accidentally got up to 1980 when I was out of town for three days but all that said hope an expert can advise me on best option for big yields... Thanks for help......

Mmmmkayyy if you duplicate my set up in one room - with your 1Ks instead of my 600 watt - you will get good yield. You'll need two light movers, you're space is actually a little tight for 2x 1000 watts and light movers. It'll be bright.
Where is the door? You'll have to figure out your walk area so you can reach the plants easily without reaching over other plants.
With one 1K light and a Light Rail you could do 3 rows - 4.5' x 7'. 15 - 18 buckets, 120 grams a bucket (4 week cured)
I'm not a big fan of plants in the middle of a grow, I don't like reaching across plants to work. Let's think of a 2 row system for you.

The room is bigger! That is just how big the tube area is. Have room but not for so many plants I think?? The question how to maximize the area? I have one 6' mover but with both lights now why would I use it? Ok so how many plants ect...
