12'X12' Space Lighting help please

two things.... First I hope that it dont turn into a full time production cause I really only have monday, tuesday, evening to trim and such. I have all day sat and sun. to do whatever else.


Secondly.... Dude I live in hickville. No worries about the deisel hahahha. Im not in some urban sprawl. I have the exaust routed about 18 feet in the air to the top of my shed via a steel pipe i welded on.

You said that you have 4-1kw, and 1-400w? you need some more light up in the 12x12. 8 would be great, but, you don't have the power to do it. Are you going to cool the lights?
If yes, your gonna need 2 inline fans, good luck making them silent. pumps, you might get 2 more 1kw's up there, but the most important thing this the continuous load rating of the Gen. if your max is 6kw you will be lucky if you get 5-5.5 kw continuous. Your fuel consumption is going to be, at full load, about 1 gal per hour. If you veg for 3 weeks your going to consume 378 gal, flower for 8 weeks=672 gal total of 1050 hours x3.25 per gal=3412.50 for the grow. Better put some of those lights on a 15 delay, starting all of that, all at once is going to exceed the max out put for the gen.
Get as many plants as you can up there, 90+ . Go multiflow 2-48 site systems, you won't have to fuck with em much. Or go with 1-system 48 sites and 4-5 lights.

Better get a good can filter, good ph stick and an ec stick go with the DM gold 2 fans are enough, i opposing corners. Better get some thermo shield. how are you going to cool the space? What is there for ventilation? How close are your neighbors? Rethink this before set the clones. You can do this if it thought out. The gen is the only way to go' If done right your can get 10-15 out of this sqf if not more. but the space would be opp. if it had 8-1kw's, 2 inline fans, inroom A/C, 2 48 site multiflow and 15kw gen, some Co2 would kick ass.
