Grow room ideas

Take the idea of C02 enrichment and move it to the very bottom of the priority list.
Determine how much space in square footage you have available, until you know the areas, the lighting cannot be decided correctly.

Hey I have a freind who is soon to begin growing.he's asked for my help and we decided we would go with a hydroponics system and led grow lights.i plan to create an enclosure to grow in that is air tight and reflective so that I can pump Co2 into the grow environment to allow the plants to absorb more light (Or food).i plan to have a carbon filter and two mounted fans to circulate the air better.

We plan to grow 6 plants all feminized white widow seeds.

I plan to use fiming and sea of green methods to train my plants with semi-agressive trimmung of excess foliage to better light penatraition and exposure while maxing out yields.

What led lights would you recommend and why?
How can I regulate the Co2 being pumped into the grow space And how much Co2 is too much for the plants?
(I don't mind wearing a gas mask and making double doors to the grow room to keep it isolated)
And what wattage or strength led light should I get to max out the plants light absorption with the Co2 being pumped in?

Ok I see.i appreciate the eager support.
It might help for me to mention that I have grown multiple plants and strains but have never gone above a 2 plant count.
I have experience with leds but not Co2.i am well practiced in fiming & toping.however it would be the first time using the sog method.so I think my question was semi answered by a mongo frog and enigma.what is also like to know is what concentration of Co2 is too much for 6 plants in an isolated 15×15 Grow space and at what point would I stop m maximizing yields (assuming that I am maxing out the amount of light the plants are absorbing)?

An example would be if I needed 875w for 6 plants in a 5×5 canopy without Co2 what concentration of Co2 do i need to max out the amount of wattage I can use for 6 plants without harming them or burning the plants due to over exposure to light?

I an he'll bent on incorporating the Co2 but it's pointless if I'm not maximizing wattage.

CO2 should be the very last thing you do, the startup cost to run it properly and the cost of CO2 or the dangers of propane burners makes it very complicated.

35W per square foot is the minimum, if you want to run CO2 I would use a minimum of 50W per square foot.

Split the space into 4 squares with about 1.5ft x 1.5ft for each plant. This way you can run each sqaure on a rotating schedule two weeks apart, that way you'll harvest every two weeks.

Work out your lights, medium and nutrients before CO2, when you use CO2 you can watch your plants grow, literally. That rate of growth will cause problems unless you are experienced with out it.

Thank you I think you fully answered my questions.and i am fully aware of the dangers involving gases and heat sources (a lot of experience with vapable concentrates). And i can now understand you're suggestion to hold off on the Co2 so I think I'll take you're advice and save it for a last.ill probably incorporate the Co2 after the first harvest.
