Which Lighting System should I go with???

[calloftheancient]

Hi RIU friends! I am trying to pick a lighting system. Which one would you choose? All with Lumatek Ballast.

Growzilla w/ 400w MH and 600w HPS
Cool Tube w/ 2x600w
Hydrofarm Reflector w/ 1000w Eye Dual Spectrum

I am growing in a 12x12 room. All feedback will be appreciated.

you are starting at the middle. to answer what lights you need to answer the following questions first:

how much weed how often? for example, 2 ounces every two weeks

how many plants to make that weed? for example 1 white widow, 1 blue haze
clone or seed? for example - seed

how do you want to set up for 2 plants per 2 weeks? separate 12x12 into veg and flower areas so you can grow 18/6 and 12/12 at the same time. start 2 seeds and put 2 fully vegged plants into flower and harvest 2 plants every two weeks.

veg area - 6 plants - 3'x3' - 400 watt mh

flower area - 16 plants - 6'x6' - 1000 watt hps

you'll get very different light answers for different needs. read through the faq and stickies in each section. then you'll have some specific questions

Thanks Desertrat. I am going to partition the room. I plan on doing 12 plants.
