Setting things up the right way

Need help re-setting up my room. Heat is an issue so the design needs to keep that in mind. Ive been piecing a room together for the past two years and now would like to set it up right. I have 2x600 watt hps and also a 400 mh all air cooled with more then enough cfm pulling and pushing on opposite ends of the daisy chain/hoods. I have a dedicated ac unit in the room that only adds cold air to the room creating positive pressure that i relieve with a exhaust fan also scrubbing in the hottest spot on the room.

I have a perpetual set up right now 3x3x3 every 2 weeks under all three hoods in 7 gallons of soil.
Right now it goes 400-600-600 with the youngest being placed under the mh and moving to the right, also my hoods are parallel instead of end to end.
My questions are

Are my hoods set up in the right pattern or would there be a more efficient set up? I was thinking about placing the mh in the middle as a vertical light and surrounding it, since its the only light in a cool tube. rest are in hoods.

Is my plant to light ratio adequate? they flower in a 5x6 area with 8ft ceilings,I have the option to expand this area up to a max 12x15ft

What would give me a better yield with the lights I have, shorter veg and smaller pots? or do i have enough light to expand?

thanks!

Firstly, as you prob know, MH is for veg, incorrect spectrum for flower so put it to better use in veg area.

Hang on, 3x3x3 perpetual grow, yield every 2 weeks???? Hmmmm I smell a rat. You must have a 6 weeker, impressive.

Harvest every 2 weeks is very possible,i do it in 12/12 from seed and i cut clones from those 12/12 from seeds plants and throw right in 12/12 with the rest of the plants and they won't finish at the same time.So i could harvest every 1-2 weeks @6-8 weeks of flowering.

I also harvest every 2 weeks on an 8 week lemon, thats essentially 4 seperate grows over the 8 weeks, not 3. My point is that his cycle at 3x3x3 means he has a 6 week flower cycle. Give me 6 weeker.... please.

No usually they are a little over 8 weeks. 3 go in two weeks go by three more go in two weeks go by. So as the first group of three near 8 weeks, their are three more waiting to fill their place in the flowering room. Thats some high ass math mrmean.

I love how everyone automatically asumes bullshit on everyone elses post. I could say i have a single plant thats under a 60 watt indescent and id still becalled a liar. If your not going to believe what peaople have to say on the interne,t maybr this isn't the place for you. Hahahaha but really answer some fucking questions instead of thinking your some bigshot forum lurker. O that's right everytime i ask a question that requires somr knowledge from first hand experience al i get is trolly bs about how YOU do something and that somehow means i lack the ability to.
For some fellow potheads all i ever see on this site, well 90%, is hate! Whats up with that rollitup? Even if i was some db ass wouldn't it be more fun to string me along and let me lool like some noob dumb ass make a fool of themselves?

Mrmean your a dumb fuck go read your post EVERYONE knows a mixed spectrum during the whole grow but def during flower is beneficial.
Read a grow bible, start growing, wait a few years and then come back and u might havr the ability to answer my question. Thanks

HPS has the most beneficial light spectrum for flowering plants, not MH. YOU check YOUR facts. Both will work - the HPS works far better.

A perpetual grow is ongoing. If the genetics are an 8 weeker with a 2 week harvest then the 'math' as you put it is simple, 8 divided by 2 = 4. That is 4 grows on the go at varying levels of development. It don't take a brain surgeon.

Did you bother to check my previous posts? Nah probably not. I aint a hater and help those that deserve to be helped. What I do hate is lazy newbs that don't do their homework and think they can come here and milk it with no research. I also hate loud mouth muppets who shoot without reading or researching at genuine people who have tried, failed, sought help, tried again and eventually got it right.

And as for the dumb fuck jibe........ Now thats funny.

Dual spectrum HPS..... yes. Dual spectrum MH..... Nah. You carry on flowering under MH. Get your facts right and maybe a few lessons in punctuation whilst your there.

Any commercial grow ive seen run 2:1

Not true MH is good as long as you got HPS present.

Lol hahahahah i was reading back on this and i forgot a 3x on my original post. Thanks for jumping down my throat.

I haven't tried mh for flowering yet but this guy at icmag.com did a side by side and the plants under the mh where bigger https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=243060 theres also another guy on this thread that only grows under mh's and his plants look great.
