How would you recommend setting up a room this size?

I have a bedroom I will be using for flowering. The room is technically 13x13.5 but I have been figuring it like a 12x12 square.
How many 1000 watt lights would you put in this room and in which squares. (have ran 220 outlets to it with multiple breakers so electric pull isn’t an issue).
i am figuring each square as a 4x4 area and was going to place 7 lights leaving the square by door and the center to get too the plants open. (Because of the extra area left from considering it 12x12 it would leave me a small walk area to get to the center from the door)

my buddy told me he would only put 4 lights in there which seems like a waste of space to me. So I wanted to get more advice.
The box with green line is where the door is. And the box with the blue line is the only usable window for venting out of.

Consider space like a table you can mix nutes on. Room for humidifier(s), fans. Enough room to where you can access plants easily to water. Air flow. Heater. Environmental controls.

Your room will fill up faster then you think.

I was thinking fans on walls, mix nutes out of room (it’s what I do now) and heater and such in the square where the door opens.

If each square is 4ft I’d put nine in there At least. Hopefully you live in a legal state and have a good backing because your going to crush your power bill and that spike in your usage will definitely raise some eye brows

isn’t that also needing like 55k btu of cooling as well +\-?

I live in Michigan so a legal state and out in country. My old electric bill ran around $600 a month until last month because of coral tanks.

I'm setting up a room just like this, also thinking of starting with 9 1k de lights, then replacing them as I can with LEDs. The other fellow was right about your power bill-calculate exactly how much you will use during an entire grow using your local electric rate and be sure you have enough to cover at least that amount. Remember, being in a "legal" state doesn't cover you for big grow ops, look up your state laws-law enforcement really get off on arresting people who don't adhere to plant limits. Make sure you are licensed for that size grow. For me, I need two difference licenses for a grow of this size-the lowest "tier" canopy license, and a "dispensary" license, and I'm only able to sell to patients with a medical card or other liscensed dispensaries. This amount of electricity will definitely get you flagged, so be sure you're ready for that.

I can grow for 5 others so for 72 plants
