Would like your input

hello I recently got my medical growers licence and I will be setting up a 10x10x10 grow room using soil and the no till organic method to grow using smart pots, I was looking to go with 4- 630watt cmh in the room so that I can fill the room with plants and just have a walk ways in and down through each side for maintenance on them and for watering, I would like to get your input on it. I will be climate controlling the room also. Thanks!
 
You may wanna checkout my thread and see if there is anything in there that gives you ideas. Its linked in my signature.

I tested a 600 watt CMH against DE 1kW HPS. The 600 was way behind the HPS, now I have a 1kW CMH bulb in that spot since the plant stayed shorter under the 600. The 1kW CMH looks like it will do almost what a 1000 watt HPS does yield wise. If I were setting up I would stick with the HPS personally.

Good luck and happy growing.
 
Congrats on getting your medical card. I like to be able to walk around at least 3 sides of my plants so I can maintain them and make sure there aren’t any issues with any of them. I typically leave about 18-24” of walking room on the outside, so in your 10x10 room it would leave me with a 6x8 to 7x8 area for growing. I think either area would be pretty decent for 4 HIDs, but if I were using HID I’d probably follow @Renfro advice and go with a DE HPS.
