1000 Watt_Club :)

Hey guys...I'm planning my first grow, I have a room that is 5' x 13' with a 7' high ceiling. Was planning to put 3 x 1000's in there...lights offset to the side a bit so I have a lit area 3w x 13'd and 2' of walking space along the side. However I read that the 1000's have a 4' x 4' coverage, so I don't feel like I'm getting everything out of my lights that I could. The room is just framed (no drywall yet) so I can easily reframe the width of 5', have to work with the depth of 13'. What would be the optimal width? I plan to grow trees in buckets, need some room in there to get around (big guy) but don't want to lose much light to an overly large room either. I'm thinking 13 x 6.5 I can have 2.5' walking space along the side and plants in a 4 x 13 area. Want to leave the room up and running a long time so wanna do it proper right off the bat.

I have a 1k in a 2x5 room but my air cooled hood is facing longways with the room and I am not sure if it is optimum to have it like that but there is nothing I can do about it. I am pretty sure that the light can handle the whole room anyway. I have been doing a very little veg time SOG. Was thinking about moving up from party cups to 2ltrs with some veg but would like some input. with my setup Im planning on getting a 1/2 lb on this yield which is 5g's a plant safe estimating. but I know I should be getting more than that and would love to get some advice that would lead to massive yields. Thanx in advance for the help I really admire alot of the grows on this thread and can only dream of the day I will have the space to impress people with my setup also.

Wish I could get my hands on some other strains just got an OG seed hoping for a girl but a boy would be fun to breed. Heard OG was a piss poor yielder but still worth it cause its so f*cking awesome. Can anyone give me an idea of how much I can yield with OG

Have a 400 watt switchable ballast, and about 3 months ago I bought a 1000 watt switchable... I want to build an enclosed room inside my garage for the 1000, Now what kind of venting and cooling am I going to need? And how many plants, I do soil and hydro so it doesn't matter. I kinda want to build a 10 X 10 room but I don't know for sure... Let me know please!

Hello dj.scotfree I am a first time grower so im no expert at all but I am growing in a 6'x4' woden box built in the corner of my bedroom the light fills it very nicly expcialy with the mylar on the walls. I have six plants and its pretty crowded. I vegged em for 3-4 weeks and once they went under the 1000watter they got hugh! 5 feet tall 3 feet wide.

I have heard a 1000watt only covers a 4.5'x4' grow space but it seems to cover more with proper reflective material.
