Going on guys Hope all is well ☀

Anyways ....G funk here got a new tent , room setup Am trying to figure out how to maximise this space I have got a few if not ..Too ..many ideas I need to butt heads with a few expernced fellow growers on this one who's been there & got the t-shirt sold it & brought it back again

Anyways !!! My tent size is 10ft x 11 with only 6.8ft hight in cellar & in Uk So quite cool down there god starting point hey ..it's says I need about 4000-5000watts to maximise this tent ⛺ So was thinking
1) ...8 or 9 600watt air cooled 8ich lights to get my 4.800 watts but all that light = heat witch am trying to keep down as Iv got no air con so my other plan
2 ) ...was maybe have 4 1000 watt lights so less heat and still 4000watts ! Is it less heat then 8 600watts ???? Anyone
3) ... have two 750 de gavita on light rails..less heat again .. if I can get away with the hight issues as only have 2m head hight 6.8ft !?
Am Thinking two 9 ft hydro trays 4ft wide that sit on the floor . Like 8 inch high trays so have about 6ft grow hight now yes ..How close can u get the de lights on light rails anyone ..!? Be running the 9 ft trays along each side off my tent with a 2 ft walk way In the middle so can get in & inspect so on am planing on 30plants in each hydro tray ..each side off tent..
The plants are autos witch Iv done few times get no bigger then 60cm 2ft ,ready in 60days get 60 gram was gonna do a perpetual grow so get hopefully ☺ 60oz every 30 days can anybody tell me any pointers,tips or even a more efficient way maybe !? That's the best Iv come up with thanks happy growing

Thinking bout cmh too like 4 ...cmh 315 to on light rails what you guys think off lights for heat so on !? & my perpetual harvest in rockwool slabs , To make the money & top weed don't won't my temps above 27 degrees ☀ peace ...

any other ideas are welcome Thankyou in advance g funk

my fan is a 10ich hyper fan

you need a dehumidifier, an air conditioner, ipm preparation, a wet/dry vac too.
I could grow pounds of weed with one 1k light in there harvested bi weekly.
your final yields, assuming all is correct will depend
on your vegging time, veg traiing. veg longer get more weed.

planted all my pips kept them topped in veg.
I decided I wanted to have x new plants to consume every couple weeks.
I picked my first selections and began flowering those x , next x two weeks later.
I cloned copies of each strain x before flowering repeat

you'll need work space, I dont know your cash, legal limits, etc. your lights are your choice and I can tell you
if you want the most out of your plants surround them with lights
if you want the most out of your lights then surround them with lights. the amount of light you choose is only restricted by your ability to control the heat produced by them and the space to house them. go nuts or dont, both ways can produce great weed
If using multiple hid lamps I would choose the 600 watts,
mixed mh/hps for flowering your autos at least 20 hours on. consider a large scrogs with normal photoperiod plants for a better experience and return.

You could run 3 x 600w hps per 9ft tray, total 3600w
Each set of 3 running in aircooled hoods with a 6 or 8" fan per set of lights, keeping those fans separate from your main fan with filter or you could rig you 10" to cool all the lights, remove the heat and clean the air. Your gona need an intake with a 10" extraction or your tents going to implode.

Come summer I think you'll need an air con, but if you pull what you want from your set up that cost is going to be a drop in the ocean ey.

Personally if it were me I would be looking at photoperiod plants so you can keep the numbers down. Stay below 28, over that your looking at jail time. Above 9 and below 28 and its down to the judge to decide. Of course you would need a veg area for that.

I run a 12x12 with 4 1000w passive air intake and 10” exhaust fan. The hoods are passive as well with 1 8” fan/2 low profile xxxl hoods. Dehumidifier and a 2 ton mini-split and 2 recirculating fans. 5 gallon pro mix. 30 days veg and in to flower at 20-24” tall, 6 plants/light lollipoped very well... this set up has pulled 2-21/2 lbs/ light every 2 wks for almost 10 yrs now.... hope that helps

Thanks for the input

Think am gonna test this way out ! 10x10 tent ⛺ 2 ...4 x 9 grow trays with 36 8ich grodan blocks each side off tent with a two foot walk way in middle 2 x 600 watt light s on light rail over each tray .. long ways so only moving like 60cm each way so never no dark spots over the plants most move the lights rails like 4 feet takes about 14 mins so plants are in dark to long so most people don’t nonhow to use the rails properly so get not good yields my inveroment is what you guys think !? Can only use 600 watt lights

Because you don’t have height in your tent
I’d run 315w CMH because they can be ran closer to your plants and run pretty cool.
They are very impressive, if money wasn’t important, I’d switch out all my 1000w DEs with them .

If you do not have a plant limit consider this style Heath Robinson's perpetual grow.
I would split the tent, maybe into a 4x10 for a veg room and 7x10 for the flower room. 2 to 3 gallon Smart Pots in coco with drip irrigation drain to waste.

I know you already choose to go with 600w hps, but since you are height limited and heat from hps could be a problem, you should also try to consider a quantum board style grow(or samsung f strip).Better uniformity, higher ppfd with less wattage usage(= less heat) and more space for vertical growth, since board can stay at 30cm or less from plant
