i think homeboys too young and dumb with 5k to spend while asking questions. research. start small . u can always get bigger. and u prob will. but atleast the mistakes wont be as neckbrakeing.
This is not my first grow, this is a new house with a new budget. I was planning on running big lights, veg room and flowering room, veg to 18" lollipop and put into the flowering room.
Iv decided to ditch the darkroom tent and just run bigger fan/filter.
Im going with 4 600w and 2 1000w each in 60" cooltubes.
Im going to put the 1000w dual cooltube in the middle and the 2 600w dual cool tubes on either side. This way I can start off with just 2 600w and 2 1000w and as I need it I can use more, eventually the new plants to flower will be on the outsides, the bigger plants later in flower will be in the middle right under the 1000w.

600w +60"cooltube+ 600w

------------------------
1000w +60"cooltube+ 1000w
------------------------
------------------------
600w +60"cooltube+ 600w

I just made the thread because I am making a large purchase on new lights, filters and fans, and I wanted to make the right choice before making a final decision.
Thanks to anyone who was helpful and many were, going flat is reliable and I wont have a bunch of issues with building a setup.
I dont know why so many people get mad, post off topic comments, claim that I dont know what Im talking about or that Im trying to get attention? I dont know, maybe jealousy that all you got is 2 plants in your closet?
Anyways, thanks again for the help, Iv made my decision.
peace
