you obviously can't use the whole space. you need to be able to walk around and get to your plants; plus you'll need room for other equipment. rough guess is you shouldn't have a problem getting 3 rows of 2 lights each. 6 lights total. kinda depends where the doors and windows are as well. plant count will depend on your growing methods. if you are just growing trees then you might be able to get 6-9 under each light. if you are doing SOG on trays you might might get 16. if you are growing monsters that you TOP and LST you might only get 4. all depends.

or... u can start with 4 lights, all og kush or some fire og, put those sweet girls in 3 gallon pots about 48, FIM in week 2 of veg then wait 2 weeks then throw those girls into flower, u will be using house and garden nutes, and watering with 25 gallons 3-4 times a week so u might just have the best grow ever.
just make sure u have the equipment to keep that room at a good enviornment. and just a thought use sunshine # 4.

I think scoob hit all the basics. now if you want to share your goals and budget with us I'm sure we can dream something more elaborate setup.

Well, I wanted to harvest 30 to 40 plants once a month...is this possible you think?
Budget is around 6k
you could harvest 100 plants a month if you kept them small. it just depends on your growing style. in 4 gallon pots you aren't getting 60-80 plants in that room.

What Scooby said.

A 1000W HPS will cover about a 5'x5' area. I hear 33W per sqf is a good rule of thumb for the min amount of light.

You could go with one 1000w hps and do 35 plants, or use two lights and do a 72 site grow, either way you'll still have a 7'x15' space left over for all your other stuff, provided you have at least 8' ceilings.

But have you thought about what a pain in the ass it would be to hand water that many plants, life would be much better with a drip system!
