Well im not a newbie and im not an expert just a novice grower with an experimental mind. This is my first 4000 watt grow as a matter of fact this is my first time using 1000 watters. I have been a 600 watt hps man since birth. Im stuck between growing 4 to 6 trees scrog style or 12 to 16 medium size plants scrog or bamboo stick style. I will be doing a grow journal with my next run. I have been using cocco and i have used soil and i have done dwc. My next run I will stick with the cocco since iI already have it and then im going to switch to rdwc. My room consists of 4 1000 watters with huge hoods not raptor but just as big so i have super great light in a 12 x 12 room. the lights are ventilated by its on fan into the attic and is seperate from the room exhaust. I plan to add fresh air exhaust next run. I have a cap controller that controls light I plan to add a complete cap with fuzzy when i start rdwc. I have co2 a window unit wich i plan to replace with a portable to go with the 1200 cfm coming from the house ac. I have a dehumidifier as well. My room is sealed very well. I have mainly had white fly problems as i do treat but I work alot so I dont always do what I should. I will be doing pics as soon as I can. This is the blue dream I have now thats coming down this weekend. I am always open to suggestions or questions again im not perfect. I have spent a maybe 3000 but I did save because I do hvac and electrical for a living. This is my hobby and passion .

Personally myself if I were a man with a 4 x 1000banger and a scrog set up I'd veg for super long and do fewer plants. Maybe two per light but I'd prob go with 5. 4 under the lights and a 5th in the centre. Just to give you the oposite of what anotherlevel said (sorry ;))Get loads of ventilation running and get the glass out of the hood.

This will be kill if you're doing adwc in buckets next run, a serious grow for serious growers :) Good luck!

You might want too utilize a much much smaller space, if you want do a serious grow and get nice weed you need 50w of ups per square foot, you say your space is 12x12 so im guessing this is in feet, if it is you have 144 square feet. 144 x 50 = 7200w. you will need 7200w watts if you want nice weed or just use less space. JUST HOW MUCH BUD ARE YOU LOOKING TO GET?

With an area like 144 square foot (12'x12')you can get roughly up to 220 Oz but NOT which your equipment you will need more lighting. You could utilize a 8' x 10' area which is 80 square feet you will end up with much much better quality bud, with an area of 80' squared you will be able to fit 110-140 Oz and you have enough lighting to get this amount.

Dont use an oversized area for how much light you have available the end product will suffer immensely.
