hey guys im building a grow room... Its about 8 feet in length 4 feet deep and 6 feet high.
I'm not exactly sure how many plants i can grow into an area like this and not exactly sure what wattage of hps... or if i need more than 1.
I'd like to maximize my space as much as possible without crowding up the area too much.
what are my options?

thank you

You could use 2 1ks or cover all aspects of the wall with milar and go with one. Might be 8 ft deep but you are going to have to have some type of walkway to get to all the plants.

I would use a couple 600 watters to cover the 8 foot wall leaving room to walk the length. I like having more than one light in case one of em breaks I can use the other until the broke one is replaced.

I should have let you guys know that this is a room inside a room so i will have room to walk but the area itself is 8 by 4 by 6....

two 600w HPS and one 600wMH in the middle or two 600w HPS and a 400w HPS in the middle would be nice for that area. 2x 1000 will also be great if you can control it well. if you want to save in on lights look up lightmovers. i dont have own experience from those tho.. good luck!
