I done 5 successfull grows. I know a little but I'm still new.
So I got about a 10x10 ft. space my ceilings are kinda low about 85 inches high.
So far I have mylar on the walls.

I using an standing air purifyer
Oscillating fans. And an AC for climate control.
I currently have about 10 lights in play now. They are outdated.

My plan is to replace the lighting Im definitely going with Horticulture Lighting Group.
I was think block off a 1x11 area for mothers.
A 3×11 for veg
And the rest for flower.

Should I go with the Perpetual grow?
Should i just do all at once.
Open to any and all advice.

Remember still in progress.

Here's some pics20211111_145925.jpg20211111_145925.jpg20211111_145925.jpg20211111_145922.jpg20211111_145910.jpg20211111_145904.jpg20211111_145900.jpg

The space is 11x11 ft total. But i plan to use 2x11 for mothers. I'm really focusing on 9x9 ft area The lights in the pic I plan to get rid of. But they are Vivaspectra 1500 i have 8 total.
I all have 6 1500 Philizons I use for my mothers and veg.
I plan to use them in a sea of green im trying out in my old 4x8.
I plan to switch to HLGs to cover the 9x9 ft space.

how will you grow mothers in the same room as your flowering in when your growing in or are you flowering in the 9x9 and cloneing in the 4x4? c

I have mylar walls i can put up and zipper to make em air tight. I just got to figure out the best way to establish the rooms before i put the walls up. I have a small 4x3 i clone in a separate room.

Any light suggestions?
One big one?
A few smaller ones?
Air control suggestions?
Should i scrap the mothers idea and just do in another place?

It pretty tight when complete the ceiling will be covered too. and the the walls will be zippered with overlapping velcro over the zipper. Every seam and corner overlap about 6 inches then taped. But i dont know if that's sufficient its my first time building from scratch. And onky my 3rd time with LEDs

Do you have a bunch of height? Cuz HLG’s require a good amount of distance from the canopy, if not you might consider running the new bar style LED’s since you can run them a lot closer.

Yeah. It’s a lot of work keeping multiple rooms going fyi.

Is your flower room separate from light leaks?

Great Advice!!! I only have about 85 inches from floor to ceiling.
Sound too close?
What about trellis and training???

Yea, your definitely gonna want to be training. HLG’s require ~30” from canopy at full blast. You can always dim them however I’m not really sure if the penetration is the same. @pop22 do you know if you get the same penetration with lights dimmed as full blast?

It will be interesting to cee how you manage keeping light out of the rooms, especially if they are all in the same room... Does that make sense???
