Some questions

Hi everyone, im a bit of a lurker here as ive been growing outdoor organic for a while with great success and not needed any help.

I am transitioning to indoors in the coming months, the outdoor season is coming to end for me (in Australia) and i need some extra income to keep my business afloat over winter.

I basically have the perfect location and set up to grow indoors, a very large shed in a rural area that is listed as a business. In the shed i have an apartment and a storage room, the storage room is 3.5m x 5m x 3m.

I am trying to use materials that i have available as money is tight. I currently have 4 mothers growing in soil under fluro's and some clones i took from my outdoor strain which is in bud - they didnt work too well. Not sure if it due to them being in bud or the lack of humidity (been a long time since ive cloned).

My shed has 4 1500watt MH's for lighting which i never use, i know they are going to use a lot of juice so i want to use a system that will maximize my potential, im thinking of SOG?? I will be setting up a closed loop system with 90mm PVC pipe snaking from a reservoir down the length of my room and back again a few times then draining back into my reservoir.

I will be building my own scrubber, attaching it to a fan and feeding into a whirly bird on my shed roof. My intake will come from a cool room in the shed, a solid 12-16 degree c year round.

Basically i am wondering if this will be an ok system to use with these lights?
How far apart should i have my plants for SOG or any suggest methodology?
How much air flow would i need for this room and suggest methods?

Ty for help!

sounds like you have a plan to me. mh lights will work, i run one of each and the plants under my mh look better through out the whole grow. i don`t know anything about the system you`re going to grow in, i researched it a few years ago but never tried it. as for spacing i`ld say at least a ft apart but that`s a guess too cause i don`t run sog. i run mine about 2 ft apart and that can get tight lol. good luck man!
