Upgrading my medical grow, need advice on lighting.
Ive divided half my pole barn for a grow.
The room will be 22×16. Its fully insulated and ive built an insulated subfloor. It has 100 amp service to a subpanel.
My current room that i will be leaving is setup with 5x600watt lights with cool tubes, with 2 4ft t5 btwn the hid lamps. Each lamp covers a 3x3 area. I grow 4 plants plants in a scrog under each lamp.
This has worked well for me but im not sure if i oughta use it for the bigger space.
Im planning on using air cooled reflectors with co2 and a 2 ton a/c unit dumping the hit air into a lung room.
Looking for advice on how to maximize yields in this large space. Should i increase to 1000 watt lamps? Should i continue to scrog or just grow larger untopped plants?
Ive rebuilt this barn by pouring a new foundation, new walls, insulation etc. Put about 10k into it. It was destroyed from water damage and a racoon infestation while my house was vacant for a few years b4 i bought it.
Now its time to start adding the lights and getting this grow fired up.
I can currently grow 36 plants but have the potetial for 72(in the future i could run the other half of the pole barn)
