also 185 cfm centerfuge fan and size 33 carbon filter be sufficient

With your room size, unless your ceiling is over 7-8 feet, that is the proper sized fan/filter for scrubbing the air.

And co2 only works if you can stop exhausting during your lights on period. Otherwise don't sweat it, mother nature provides enough :)

Sorry man im new to dis site dunno how to make my own thread:-(
Im also new to growing so iv too many questions and no answers,
Iv been doin alot of reading about it an wat iv seen so far is an average plant grown indoors wit a hps will produce in around 2 ounces but dats not from my own experience,
Jus wat iv read, dats why i joined this i prefer to hear from experienced growers rather than havin my head stuck in books.
Goodluck wit your grow man!!

even that will take work I've researched lighting is important but just like others said you also have to worry about nutes, ph level, space, ventilation, c02, and temps

and humidity

jogofien,

this site can be overwhelming there is a ton of really good info you just have to sift through the bs. my best advice would be getting on here w/o smoking first and subscribing to any thread you think is useful, the first few times i got on here high as balls and walked away w nothing. 3 weeks later i know exactly what i want to do and have stuff on the way and can't wait to start my grow. good luck

In a 5x5 tent with 8 plants under a 600 watt cooltube I would expect anywhere from 1 pound up to 3 pounds prolly but It depends on so many variables its hard to say. Lets say you run full line of GH or Advanced ( 14-22 bottles of stuff depending on which one ) and Co2 and have grown before then you will get more obviously but it also depends on your strains and you never mention the height of the tent, how long u veg, what kinda temphumidity you keep you enviornment at etc. If you create a optimal 5x5 area then I would agree that 4 pounds is possible but prolly would add a few LED around the 600 or a 2nd 600 if your expecting that much.

I run 2 600w hps cooltubes and 2 LEDS in a 8x8 tent wCo2 and off my first 4 plants i expect between 1.5-2.5 pounds. But they are spoiled and also have veg a very long time as they used to be mother plants but I scraped the mother thing and I'm going perpetual without em now.

Best of Luck

calculating yield for someone with the kind of information provided here is pretty much impossible. There are waaayyy too many variables we don't know about the guy's setup. But 8 plants... 600 watts...you're not following the suggested rule of 100W/plant but you're still liable to pull in close to 2 Lbs if you have high-yielding plants and you do a good job.

Here's my two cents worth. Eight plants and you are crowding them, only the top third of the plants will receive light. I have two six hundreds spaced about fourteen inches apart, I only like to put six plants under them, max. Two directly under each light and two in the middle where they receive light from both fixtures. I did a sativa dominant grow with four plants and got just over fourteen ounces dry. Six weeks of veg, three gallon containers and I lst'd them.
