12x12 flowering room Lights?

[MMJGrowDoctor]

I am building a flowing room that is 12x12 and figured on using 5-600w hps lights for the room. Sound right? How many plants per light? 4-5 Also how much fan do I need for a room this big? Air outside is cold and will be for some time. I want to build a simple automated room and it needs to be the best I can come up with. Going dirt and also have another room 9x7 for flower or veg. I want to flower 30 plants at a time. I can get my clones from another source so I do not need to keep them on site.

Any help would be great. As I need to get started and go buy new equipment.

A 600w light has a 3x3 ideal light footprint, so 8 is the ideal # of 600's to maximize growth in your space. That said 5 will work ok. In soil use the biggest pot you can in your case 2x2 pots size is your maximum for 30 pots but you will need to get in your room so find a container size slightly smaller than 2x2.
Good luck,

Lets see, 3000watts divided by 144 sq ft = 20.8 watts per sq ft. Not enough for fast vigorous growth in my opinion.
4 or even 5 1000s would be much better,especially if heat is no issue. My opinion, worth what you payed for it
