7'x14' sealed vert room with 6k worth of vertical lighting with 2 8" cool tubes. 2 vertical stings consisting of 2 1000hps bulbs and 1 MH in the middle. Each 3k cool tube would be at the center of a 7x7 area. Each side will be harvested once a month hoping to yield anywhere from 6-8lbs 96 plant sites total... 48 for each 7x7 area. 4 shelves of 12 per 7x7' space. each plant would be about 24" away the the lights. Gutters under the pots will lead all run off back into each of the 2 50gal rez. would run 1/2" and 1/4" tubing for feeding. I would have a separate veg room vegging out 48 plants per month in 1 gal pots and then transfer into 3 gal pots 3-5 days before flower for a total of about 30 days worth of veg, all in a ebb and flood setup. top and super-crop during this 1 month veg. Anyways, also would need 2 8" vortex fans to cool the cool tubes... they would be sucking air from a basement window and exhausting out the hot air into a 1200sf basement or connect to a vertical plumbing stack or sewer wye in the basement... depends on how cold it is ouside.
Gonna need a mr.slim mini spit for both a/c and heat with inverter technology, would go with a 18+k unit. The 2 8" vortex fans keep the room very cool, steady 85* for most part of the year during lights on is easy to maintain without a/c on. also would buy a 100+ pint santa fe dehumidifier. Sentinel climate controller with co2 monitor, NG or LP co2 generator with electrical start, various pumps and filters, reflective wall material, 2x4's, hardware, hydroton, nutes, bulbs ballasts, electrical ect should put you pretty close to 10k if not slightly over.
The above setup can yield 8lbs per month on a perpetual setup if dialed in well... best I have seen was 8lbs consistently with small issues during the grow cycle. I bet you could hit 2g per watt if you focused on one good yielding strain like AK47 or ChemD with no issues during the grow. Thats over 12lbs from 3k worth of vertical lighting from 48 plants.
Thats what I would do if I had to do it all over again... hopefully soon. The above setup is proven and has been up and running for 3 harvest... didn't take long to dial in. First run hit 2lbs with a old ss-ak47 cut.
My friend was happy to put out the coin up front to build the perfect room in his eyes. I hope to copy this show setup this year. If its going to be a permanent room spend the money and build it properly the first time around.
Good luck
