there are 8 600 HPS and some leds just for the liht lol

very little plants right now..
co2 in gas tank and automatic controller
day temp 28 nigh 20
sealed room. ventilated 20 min every 24 hours (maybe bad? good?)
still bad results. its not strains issue..

i had a problem with fruit flyes and they killed a lot of my girls... now i am spraying every 4 days and everything is clean and they seem to be almost gone.

how do i get close to 1 gram per watt?

**there are more space to the right behind the tent.

Exactly what do you mean your spraying every 4 days? Spraying light soap water? BT? Insecticides?

Also your lights seem very high compared to the canopy. Like how far above the canopy can you hold your hand out flat before it starts getting very warm/hot

Also you need to work on using the space you have efficiently instead of going bigger, you have a huge amout of unused space there

I spray the soil tops and floor with organic stuff that i have special against fruit flyes and their worms.

do you mean i need more girls there? the pots is 8 lite. there is 30 of them now. the ligtning covers about 14 squere meters. i can put 100-150 pots there. ot just use 30-50 but let them grow nice.
whats better?

should i ventilate it more often? it is 100% sealed when closed.

Be damn carefull about what your spraying on your girls "organic does not mean safe" especially when your smoking the end product.

if i had to give a number id say your wasting over 60% of the light you have going with the fixtures being spread out and so far above. you have so much direct light striking the floor and grow medium its kinda crazy.

It a ton of work but if i were in your room id turn off half the lights, gather all the plants in a smaller area to actually catch the light, and lower the lights that can move down. Look into what you can do with super simple techniques like topping or LST to get you bushes instead of "stalks" And maybe add another week or two of veg. Im not a fan of large count of small plants.

First thing I’d do is nix the carpet. Never put carpet in grow rooms. Second like mine rooms are of similar size but I built walls insulated them well and designed the to be as effective as possible. Wrapped them in orca film. An organize and line those plants up nicer but I’m ocd like that I vacuum in my rooms daily. Sounds like you need to start smaller and get your space dialed in esp before adding co2.

Looks like a nice party atmosphere. I notice flooring above. Maybe CO2 is heavier and stays low, but I think you're going to lose it up through those floorboards. So I might forget the CO2 and spend it elsewhere. Then you could ventilate more in my op.

Exactly and with more benefit. Good carbon filter setup
