Three 8X8 Room setup!

Hey everyone, first post, and question here

I'm a medical grower who has been used to greenhouse for the last 5 years. I'm going indoors soon and It'd be great to get a few
opinions on what I think I'm going to do! (I'm a 22 year old medical Patient, so i'm going to be taking notes here)

My new location is ideal, and consists of three, separate 8 foot, by 8 foot rooms. I want to put 60 each, in two of the rooms for flowering.
I was doing some research, and I find I could use four, 600 watt hps, in each room or TWO 1000's

I idealy want to use the 1000's as that is the equipment available to me right now, and this location has 4-5 roomates, who all work on their laptops, and have TV's on, ect. So I don't think that four 1000's on 12/12 would be TOO power consuming? Remember this is my first indoor, and I need opinion.

The third (or first) room would be my clone, and vegg room. But running a 1000 on 18/6 for a month would be about 60-100, so two of them would be pretty pricey.

My partner is a certified electrician, the equipment is there, Need opinion
What should I run wattage wise in the veg room?

Thank you guys, without my meds, and your knowledge I am Nothing
Thank you

PS

I want to make friends on here, so add me!
I grew some killer sour kush this summer, I'll upload some photos.

Ok so from the sounds of things your looking to grow S.O.G. style with the 60 plants in each room. One thing is for sure, however you decide to grow, your going to need to make sure all the plants are easily accessible. It might be wise to have two 3x8 tables, one on each side of the room. That would leave ou a 2 ft walkway down the middle of the tables allowing you access pretty nicely. If you did it that way, I'd use (4) 600w, two lights per table. In fact, I'd go with (4) 600w over (2)1000w simply for the canopy coverage. Those 600's will have more "contact points" of light if that makes sense. If you were growing fewer but larger plants I'd suggest 1000w lights since the canopy penetration would be more intense.
That said, if you went 4 600's per room that's 8 lights. That is going to draw A LOT of power. Typically a 600w cost 25-45$ to run per month. So your looking at an electric bill AT LEAST $300. That's only your grow lights. Add your air conditioner which your gonna need with that many lights, your fans, pumps etc. then you have your normal household items. That's gonna be another $60 or so. I wouldn't be surprised if your monthly bill was $500. Also, I know you said your friend is an electrician, but most bedrooms are on a 15 amp circuit. 1 600 uses 5 amps at 120v. So 4 lights would be 20 amps. Again that's without fans, AC, pumps. To make that grow safe your buddy is going to have to re-wire the rooms to 240v so the lights will draw less amperage.

I'd go with the four 600's per room and I was thinking 64 clones, which is pretty close to sixty. I'd go with a 3' x 3' x 7-8" flood and drain table, one for each 600w HID and run 16 clones in each one. I would consider CMH.

Thanks guys for the great input.
Rickym, I was surprised when yoyu said tables, because my original plan was to get ahold of two 4x4 flood tables.
I looked those up, and they look like they would be used for hydro, I was going with dirt?
Unless you meant I could put them on, for example four milk crates, drill holes in the table, and let it drain into a resevoir? That would be ideal as Bending and crouching is a pain in the ass.

I was almost hoping you were going to say 600's, as I can trim the under canopy, and have main focus on the tops. When you say arond 500, for the bill, you're counting out whole house, correct?

I have seen these tables and they're 70 a table, you guys thinking of what I am

or am i completely mislead.

Thanks guys

What if i went with 30 per room, and got them bigger??

if i did 30 a room i wouldnt need tables, and could use 1000?

dont even pretend to be a medical patient. Go read a book or something.
