Hey guys this is my first day on this site... I was looking for advice on setting up my first grow room so i could get some good yields and minimize the mistakes on my first run though.... I am going to start with 24 plants, and I have a room that is roughly 30X15 ft that has just over 6 foot tall ceilings. I plan on buying 4 1000 W lights with a CAP Ebb and Gro system. Both sets of lights will be ventilated properly as well. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for the set up of these objects? I feel like i am kind of limited on height since the plants will only be able to get about 4-5 feet tall with the lights sticking down from the ceiling... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... thanks!

I have a 1000 watt, I needed a box fan blowing on the plants while the light was on or else the plants would get crispy. You definitely need a cool tube. Also having them all on light movers would be cool. So like all 4 move at the same time, and each one is in a cool tube being extracted out the house directly.

You're totally going to need a cool tube or at least a boxfan. Cooltube will be more silent.

Yea i plan on having some oscilating fans on the plants + maybe a fan or two blowing between the top of the plants and the lights to cut down on heat stress on the tops of the plants... I plan on having inline fans in the ducting for 1 fan per two lights (I have access to cold air outside, allowing me to cool quite rapidly if the room is to hot... Do you guys think i should grow the plants all the way to 4-5 feet and leave the bottoms? (maybe put some LED lights on the sides?) or should i trim the bottom quarter of the plant so that the nutrients can focus on the tops of the plants where most of the buds will be located? My friend is running a system similar to this but he has 8 foot ceilings and he is only getting about 2 ounces per plant and i feel like a 7 foot tall plant should get more than two ounces if a 3 foot tall plant can get two ounces as well.
