New perpetual indoor grow plan

Ok so for my current setup i have a 5x5x7 tent with a 400cfm inline fan, 1x 1000watt light system. My plan is to continue using everything ive already bought to save money.

My plan is to get a second tent 4x8x7 and have that be my flowering tent with 2x 1000 watt light systems with a carbon filter and either another 430cfm inline or 740cfm.. (idk if ill need that much though) and have my current equipment be my veg room. Id take the 1x 1000 watt light setup from the 5x5 tent and put that in the 4x8 flowering tent. Then buy a 600 watt system for veg (maybe t5s?) 5x5 tent and then i would only need to buy 1x 1000 watt light system(hood, ballast, bulb) which saves money.

I have a couple questions:

Is 2000watts too much for that footprint (32 sq ft)?

Do you think ill have heat problems?

What size inline fan for flower room?

It's doable, BUT NOT without a/c. Definitely need the biggest inline fan you can run. I have 600's in the same footprint and couldn't do it without a/c. Good luck. ATB!

SupaM-Do you live somewhere warm? Cause i live in cold ass washington and its rainy and cold 70% of the year. The room id have it in stays pretty cool, 50 degrees, or colder if i open the window. My house isn't insulated very well.. So maybe this would act as an ac unit? I currently have a 1000 watter in a 5x5x7 tent and i have complete control of the temperature by turning the heater on/off. I have it set to 60 degrees and the tent stays at 78 degrees lights on/ 64 degrees lights off.

Found a really good deal on a 10x5 tent for 225$. I think im gonna order that soon. I'm thinking 2x 1000 watts in sun system magnum xxl 6inch hoods, a 740 cfm inline connected to vented hood with 6inch ducting/ carbon filter to get rid of hot air out the window. And a small inline for intake of fresh air from the bedroom. My plant limit is 15 so I'm thinking 3 rows of 5 in 4 gallon buckets.

Anybody have any comments/concerns about my 10x5 plan? Im hoping to get some feedback here, some of you guys have some good ideas.

Yea, I'm in the South....it's normally no coats til Jan., but not this year....lol 20something degrees yesterday...wtf. ATB!

So will you have 7-8 plants vegging and 7-8 plants flowering at all times? If so you may want larger containers, 4 gal pots will only yield so much. I'd go with 10 gallon containers if you want heavy plants. Other than that, your plan sounds great!

I'm in Washington and running a very similar setup at the moment. I have a 4x4 secret jardin and a 8x4 GrowDen. I have a pair of 1000w HPS in 6" blockbuster hoods in the 8x4, and a single 1000w MH in the 4x4 set up for veg.. right now starting my first round of aeroponic clones in the 4x4.

I only have a single inline fan running as exhaust to a carbon filter. ducting goes from the Veg hood thru the flower hoods and out to the carbon filter. the room doesnt run too hot. if it ever heats up I just open a window.. its cold here. but it hasn't gotten too hot since I moved to HPS bulbs. the MH ran much hotter.

I was thinking about doing that, my girl wants me to grow her 15 for her, shes a med patient too. I could throw 15 in veg in the 5x5 tent i have. Get a 600mh and ventalation and then the 15 in flower. That would be prime. Gotta make sure thats legal tho.. havent read into it enough. But Im thinking im gonna go with 5 gallon buckets for flower. I just dont want them to get too tall cause of the 1000 watters and potential heat burn issues from being too close to the light.

How big of an intake fan would i need for a footprint like that? 5x10?

That 6" should be fine IMO. ATB!
