the room is approx 6x9x10ish, with the shelves in place, about 2.5 three feet is taken off the length and about 18inches off the width. These pics are from a few weeks ago, i now have trellises in place and am about to flip.
although I originally wanted this to be a test of how much you can pull off a single 1k, Im considering if i should try to stuff another 1k in there to accomodate all the height and make sure i max out. After seeing selfhemployeds 8x8 room that he blew out with 2k though, i almost think the 1k will be perfect. his lights were stationary and the lower plants that were well below the tips of the bulbs still filled in fine.
The 4ft mover really changes the game in this setup because the bulb is never very far from the plants. there is prob only 1ft to 18in from the bulb to the long sides. I already have some supplemental fluoros (68w cfls and 15w tubes) in place, and ready to add a few more, along with a 150w hps bare bulb. Most likely ill raise the 1k up a bit higher than originally planned, and put the 150w hps underneath it, stationary in the center. Good thing i have that welding mask lol
I already have another 1k wired into the room, so the temptation is great to throw it in play, but its a cheapo hood, socket that is all one piece. I could just cut the cord and re wire it to hang it vert, but i hate to cut cords on perfectly good setup like that :lol:
gonna finish installing the rest of the trellises and post some new pics soon. ill take some of the other side this time
