This might be the most poorly thought out room yet... You want one fan to cool 7 lights... 5 of them being thouies?

Can't even think of the temps you will be reaching. You have the electrical set up for this?

You forgot to include a smoke detector for when your plants burst into flames. I just calculated that out in my head, and came up with over 1.2 watts per square foot. Is there a reason you want to hit your plants that hard? You could really do a 12x12 room with that many photons, and the heat in a tent is going to be incredible. Between the lights and the air conditioners you're going to need to cancel out that heat, you're going need every outlet in your house.

You really might want to think this through a little more. This sounds way overcalculated and underthought.

I havent been chiming in alot these days, but i love coming on an seeing posts like this. With a 7.5x7.5 size room your better off with 4x600's. Thats gonna be a whole lot more managable in terms of heat. An itll still give you enough room to walk around on the sides an get into the garden n move shit around as needed.

Oh, yeah, that's a good point. Didn't think of that. Something was nagging at me about those container sizes and the plant count, but I didn't stop to think. With that many big buckets crammed in so close, you won't be able to move in there at all, and with a tent that size you won't be able to reach in from the edges.

And how would someone hang that many fixtures from a tent? You'd have to have some sort of secondary external support.

Something was edited in the OP so my reply no longer applies......

I thought I read 2x4 tent but don't see that anymore.....

Hahaha I just read the 10.5 Oz per plant part too. I skipped a lot of stuff cause it all seemed like he's more or less trying to push buttons. If you want to achieve 10.5 Oz per plant you better veg the shit out of them then flip. I doubt even then you'd get those numbers.

Obviously this guy needs to start over. Figure out what he really wants. A size that big your better off sealing a room. Can't imagine hanging all that weight on even a gorilla tent.

First grow and it seems like he is trying to harvest 40lbs a year....

I think if I could give just one word of advice to newer growers, it would be don't plan for yield. Just plan the most efficient and sensible grow you can in the space you have available. If you do it right and get it dialed in, the yield will follow, but if you're shooting for megapoundage right out of the gate, you are setting yourself up for spectacular failure all across the board.

Not going to happen mate. I'm running a 12 x 18 with 6k watts and regularly hitting 100f+ without an a.c. 20 x 40 litre airpots?? Geezes .. I'm using 10 x 45L air pots with 4wk veg and pretty much fill out 80% off the room leaving little space to walk around (I mainly crawl).
