Need Help Optimizing A 12x16 Room!

[SmerkedOut]

Help! I've got a 12x16 room to do everything in, and I need to figure out how to do it. I plan to run 2000w on flip flops, plus sealed with CO2. So in total I need 3 rooms in my space: 2 flower rooms, plus a third room for water mixing, ballasts, electrical, ect. Each flower room will have 2 magnum xxxl reflectors.

What size should my rooms be? What system should I use for my plants? I'd like to still be able to walk around the plants on all sides if possible. I plan to run RDWC, and for this run I will have probably 12-16 plants total, so what's the best system for 6-8 plants in each 2k room? And in a future grow in the same room, what would be the ideal setup, and ideal # of plants?

Thanks!

if it is all in one room
then the answer is simple a set of tents ......this will allow u to control the light time table but still get all the benifits of a sealed room

u will just need a simple booster fan sucking air/co2 out the top of the ten to remove the heat and bring in cool air

then just have a mini split in the room to cool the whole thing down

well I've got the room but I'll be walling out the inside to make 2 flower rooms and then the third room for my water and electrical and all that. I've got 2 air conditioners and I plan to use 1 for the third room and the other larger one would be shared between my flower rooms. I'll also be running CO2, but with only 2 burner so I need to have the air circulating between the rooms at all time (probably), or figure out some hood that can suck out the co2 when the burner is on and in the wrong room (seems difficult).

why wall the room out
u can do the same thing with a good tent .......keeping it all on one AC system and one Co2 system
the tents are light proof with a higher reflective surface then u will make with flat white walls .....increasing the lumen/par ratings on the leaves using the same light u have ...along with once u break it down the room is basically back to a normal room makes selling it or moving out easier ....and u always want to be able to break the room down with in 24 hours and hide all the stuff (something goes massive wrong protect your investment (hide the gear so they can not take it return the area to natural look so they can not take the house )

Justugh is steering you right. I made the room mistake with multiple AC and all. Ill never recover the cost or going back to one room and getting a quality mini split with heat pump.

Going with smaller rooms your temps and humity will be a lot of work to control. Minisplit in a large room with a vented tents for veg is amazing
