my only suggestion is a reflector that big is actually not good for a 600w light. you disperse the light too much and lose to much of the intensity in the distance between the bulb and the outer edges of the reflector. those things are made for 1000-1500w bulbs.

 

[foreverflyhi]

Really? Shit I already got the equipment tho, what's another option? Or is it really that bad?

 

[foreverflyhi]

And sorry about the typos on square foot calculations of the room
225 sf room
121 sf flower space
for room idea 1

it's not that big a deal really. i wouldn't worry too much about it. especially with that many lights overlapping. get yourself a decent light meter and learn how to use it. that will help a lot when placing your hoods.

i think 1 of these in each hood will help disperse the light better as well...http://www.sunlightsupply.com/p-12154-super-spreaders.aspx

If the reflectors are that big, you over spent. Big time. The spreader won't do much IMO.

Return the reflectors or use 1000 watt bulbs.

I run C.A.P. Luminare 8" reflectors for my 600 watters. Love them!

6-600s in a 10x10....not going to happen anyway so it doesn't matter.

Lol trust me I didn't over spent
just got the wrong hood apparently

And y wouldn't I happen? Not even if I have rollers or invest in light rails? 10x10 is just a estimate

6 600w lights can be used to cover an area of 10x7 in your room so you'll probably need to put your plant area against the bottom wall. also, running those hoods like that will make for a lot of bend in the ducting. better off to run them in a straight line.

 

[foreverflyhi]

So do u think it's better to have to rows or build walls in between?

 

[ScoobyDoobyDoo]

i would just do 2 rows of 3 lights in the same room. having multiple rooms means you need to control the temp, humidity, Co2, etc in each room and just leads to added costs. the only advantage i see with running 2 flower rooms would be doing a FLIP to reduce electrical draw.

 

[Sencha]

ummmm, 3 of those hoods in a straight line is just under 12 feet long if you put them end to end, which you can't do.

The room is too small, period. I ended up putting 4 600s in my ~9x9' room. I don't know about you but I like being able to work in my room without having to move shit around. Just my two pennies.

Sucks though, it's so freaking hot, I can only run two of them at the moment.

Edit: Oops, sorry. Didn't see the 15x15 spec. I was focused on the 11x11 for some reason. Good luck bro. I do love my Luminaire's though. Perfect for a 600 watter.

That makes perfect sense.
I guess my only concern is having these big ass reflectors that are wasting light. I'm goin to invet in that upgrade u recommended, hopefully that helps
Is it best to spread these two rows apart by having one at the end of each room or should I have them about 5 feet apart?
And I'm guessing it doesn't really matter if the rows are going up or down or left to right? Or does it?

Yea thanks for the input, 11x11 grow space was really just a estaminet, I know it's not realistic tho, and I'm curious if it's soo hot where ur at does a ad not do anything? Or is it just the situation your in?
Thanks once again

i would split them into 2 rows of 3 lights on oppopsite sides of the room or at least with a walkway inbetween. you want to be able to get tp all of your plants.

So simple but yet genius!!!
Im a master grower when it comes down to tents, rooms are a whole new ball park for me, more work but better payoff and learning experience!

 

[foreverflyhi]

Now let's say I wanted to have a continuous harvest, how can I accomplish this? I know it's harder with soil other then hydro, but I'm sure there's a way? Anyone have any input?

 

[ScoobyDoobyDoo]

i started in a guest bathroom bathtub 13 years ago. then got into tents for a while too. i still use them a little bit. tents are awesome. big rooms are just so much nicer though.

hey man, have you looked into vertical growing? there are two killer threads on this site that might give you a new look at your room and space...lol
scrap the hoods for change and get vertical ...
