    Upgrading grow room!

    So im thinking after my first harvest which is going extremely well btw you can check it out in my grow journal.. I think i plan to upgrade to a 4x8x7foot tent with 2 1000watt hps/mh with XXXl hoods... i plan to keep one of my 4x4 tents to veg in and sell the the other tent +the other 600 watt light + ballast.. I plan to do 12 plants every two months hoping to hit the 2+pounds a harvest mark or a 1 pound a month. I plan to top everything to maximize my Bud sites ... anyway thoughts on this when i upgrade would i wanna go with an 8inch hood for the 8 inch fan for air movement and keep my veg tent with a 6inch? just trying to plan out my next grow =D already got my 12 girls vegging!

    I have a 4x8x7 tent I split in two I've used for about 4 years the sippers are failing now so I'm going to build a room. before you spend the money on 2 hps my friend uses a light mover for his room and it works fantastic he grows 5 plants at a time and his harvest are between 1.5 and 2.5 lbs per grow. high yealding strain thc bomb

      Invest in the 8" fan. My room is the same size. 5x7x8' and with 2- 600 hps it gets warm with my 6" exhaust fan.

        Yeah i think i will go ethier with 2 1000watt or the light rail but im hoping to do 12 so thats alot more than 5... but that is a good idea but if thats the case i would rather use the two 600watts more light = more bud light is food! but thanks for the info im still trying to figure out cost/investment i gotta recoup what i have put in so far.

          Everything I've read/researched states that you get more grams per watt with 600w over the 1000w. Personally, I'd try to configure a setup using 3 600w. Maybe 1 6" exhaust through hoods and another for room exhaust.

            I have 1 6" already I have a friend who does Hvac who will help me install an efficient Venting system for it may not need to run an ac with summer coming but will probably need a big dedmudifier. Since less humid air holds less heat. But yeah a 3 600watt ina 4x8 may be too much though possibly a 4x10 but i only have 12 plants thank you for the input.

                I have thought about that not sure about sealing it though and holding a temperature would be the problem it would have to be a sealed system with 3 lights not sure how to control the heat at that rate I would have to invest into a portable ac and running 1800watts + 1000watt ac would probly trip my 20 amp breaker if it was my house i would rewire the whole room for 40-60 amp breaker and really put some power on that circut
