IMG_2304.JPG I've got a 120x120x200, small fan in the corner and a 400watt omega grow light and I've got 6 plants and the go at the moment with 2 others germinating, I'd reckon I could easily fit 9 in that space and it's all going pretty well so far not ran into any problems, hope this helps a little I'd say get yourself a 400watt or 600watt hps for nine plants mate

So you have roughly 95 sq feet of floor space. That is roughly four 5 foot x 5 foot spaces.

A 5 foot x 5 foot space would normally use 1000w of hps light. More if you use CO2.

So it's doubtful a single 1000w light will cover that space if you want to fill it up.

As for the number of plants, it doesn't matter. More smaller vs fewer larger will get you about the same yield. It's the size of the canopy that matters.

I was planning on using 4 lights, keep debating 2 600w hps and 2 leds or 1000w hps and 3 leds, i plan on doing fewer rather than loads, what would you do with lights?

You are going to need space to walk, so I'd probably do four 1mx1m grow spaces, and put a 600w over each space. Maybe a little larger tan 1x1, it depends on where your door is and other fixtures in your room, and how much space you want to for walking and working.

But basically either 2 or 4 grow zones, and 1 or 2 lights over each.

Thanks bro, yeah ill work the space out hopefully wont need to much as you can get in the tent from all sides, i was planning on 4 lights like you said, would growth rate be effected by having a 1000w hp over them as it will be in zones it wont cover everything, may be better to go 600w? Maybe 2 and 2 leds? Then i could just switch them round as need to make.sure the canopy will be evan
