Hello,
I'm new to growing and am trying to plan on what equipment to buy... so please don't ask questions about my plants and such since I don't have any yet!
I plan to have two rooms with two 3' x 6' scrOG canopy's in each. There will be 8 plants per canopy. The reason I plan on doing two canopy's per room is to allow for easier access to my plants when looking for disease or other problems.
The reason I plan on two rooms is so I can harvest more often by beginning their cycles at different times (kind of like perpetual harvest), but the rooms will be identical with MH/HPS switchable lights for vegging and flowering.
I want to know how many lights and what wattage I should use per canopy. I'm struggling between doing 2 - 600W lights or 1 - 1000W lights per 3' x 6' canopy. Any other suggested configuration is welcome. If I go with 600 watt lights they will be closer to my canopy than the 1000W light of course. Again, I want MH/HPS switchable, air cooled lights.
Eventually I plan to grow 4 mothers from seed (2 of each strain) and take 22 clones from 2 mothers at a time, then picking the best 16 for each new grow. This will give me a total of 60 plants at any given time which is what I'm legally allowed to grow (32 veg/flower + 4 mothers + 22 clones = 60 total plants). I'll need some help deciding how to build a cabinet for my mothers and space for my clones later, but first I need to do my first scrOG harvest using clones to get some money going.
