Your manual method of air/co2 refreshment will only work to a point for your veg room, you could expierience problems..
Instead Of cutting ducting between the two building try to go a harvest and then pick up a second Co2 gen/tank setup after first crop.

I disagree, if you look at the diagram in the 1st post, you'll see that each row of 4 lights will be covering an approx. 18 x 6 area. That equates to one light per 6' x 4.5' rectangle or 27 sq. ft....well under your max 6 x 6 or 36 sq. Each plant will have a 3' x 3' growth area...3 plants per 1000 watts.

Nice shot and nice room!...but you're making my argument for me. You say 9 lights for 15 x 15 up to 18 x 18. That's 9 lights for a 225 - 324 square foot grow area footprint. I'm using 8 lights for a 216 sq. ft. footprint (18 x 6 x 2). I'm actually better than your ratio for your 6 lights in your 165 sf area. I'm doing 8 lights in 216 sf (your ratio above would cover 225 sf with 8 lights). You are maxing that room...my room has walking aisles. I've been at it for awhile too...
p.s. - how many plants is that above and what did you yank out of that grow? Also, what bulbs are you using in that pic? MHs? Again, nice grow.

Commercially We could fit 16 Lights in a 20x20.. Or even more....
4x4 per 1000w with 2-three plants a light

!) New electrical
2) Mini Split
3) Now that's a CFL! (105 watt)....no hating on CFLs here...I love em for supplemental!
4) In case you wondered what $10 large in equipment looks like
5) Excited to play with this Atmospheric Controller
6) Adjustable jet nozzle at each plant site
How high up on the wall is your mini split mounted there? How tall was your ceiling height again?
I'm trying to figure how high to mount my 2-ton mini split with 9' ceiling height....Thanks in advance.

It's about 10 inches below the 9.5' ceiling. It has a bunch of directional settings, from straight down to 45 degrees upward...and a couple oscillating at different angles. The remote is awesome, it's also the thermostat....mounted it on the wall mid room about 5 foot height.

What up jcommerce. Nice setup man. I'm sub'd for sure. Love to see bigger grows.
Totalll not trying to be arumentative but I'm pretty sure you're not gonna get a 6' width out of your lights. You've got more than enough for the 18' length but anything over 5' wide on a 1000w is getting diminished light. We did on a light meter with my 1000w XXXL hoods and it came out to like 54"x62" getting optimal lighting. I think you be fine if you just rotate the ones on the outside toward the middle every few days. Plus those CFL's will help too. It's the footprint I use in my room for our 1000w lights. I actually use 4.5" just to be on the safe side.
Good luck bro.

Good to have you onboard Phillip,
You have highlighted a point and I appreciate it. Great minds think alike and, although 1000 watters in giant hoods supposedly have workable footprints of 6 x 6, I was not sold on planning things around this figure. As I always tend to work off of the lower end of estimates (in any walk of life), the 4 x 4 would obviously be ideal. My original sketch was working off of blueprints, but as it turns out, the inner walls are a bit less than 20 x 20. Therefore, I will be narrowing things a bit and the footprints will be closer to 5.5' x 17'. As per your 4.5' (54") ideal readings, my plants will be pushing it on the outer edges, but the overlap from one light to the next should make up some ground for the inside edge of the outer 2 plants...and the inner 4 will be getting drenched from both sides (this is my theory, anyhow...funny how we always live and learn...and here I expect to). I plan to have the 9, 105 watt CFLs running down each aisle, so hopefully they'll help....and back to the great minds think alike, I already plan to do the rotational thing (as I always have) until they get to the point of no return. Thanks for the input brotha..

Sounds like you are good to go man. If you are close to 17' in length you could probably get away with just 3 lights in a row. Not that 4 wouldn't be NICE!!! Anyway, thanks for having me and looking forward to the show. +Rep for sharing.
