Hi everyone. Im Socal PopsNanu with some questions on how I should use my upstairs bedroom. It's 11'x11'x8'. I recently purchased the following

1 1000w Phantom Digital Ballast
1 HydroFarm Raptor Hood
2 8'' in-line fans
1 950cfm Phat Filter
4x4 tray w/50gal res
1 1000w HPS Ushio Bulb

I was going to start a with this until I won the raffle the local hydro store was having and got these also.

1 1000w Crop Master Ballast
1 SunSystem Blockbuster 6'' air cooled hood
2 1000 MH bulbs (1 for veg 1 for Flower)
750 cfm Phresh Filter
4x4 tray w/50gal res
Flame Defender
The whole line of Roots Organics

So here's my question...Can I use both lights in the same room? Should I partition the room and use the lights separate. I want to maximize what I have and buy anything extra i might need. My budget is 3000.00 having spent 1000.00 of it on what i originally bought. Any help would be appreciated.

Well you can use the whole room for one big grow, or you can partition the room for a perpetual grow.
3000 is plenty to do either.

Thanks for some insight Airwave. Here's another question i wanted to know...I'm going to be using the whole room and not partitioning it in half. Anyone ever use HPS and MH together or should i just buy another HPS?

with the toys you have, you may be able to switch out the bulbs/ toggle the ballast to mh or hps depending on how you want to go... if you're not going to partition or even have a veg room, you only need to space the lights properly to get the max from what you have... with the rest of your money you may want to invest in come temperature control and odor control gear unless you have no need for them...

Thanks nl3004...Funny you mentioned a Veg room. I just bought a T5 setup today for my walk in closet which is 4x6x8.
