Need help 11x11 grow area

I have two 11x11 rooms and would like info on what i will need to keep temp/humidity at the right levels i have a glass basement window in each room an im just lookin for ideas on what type equipment and how many watts of light it would take for that size room im just settin up so options are open but i do already have 2 1000watt hps and 1 1000watt mh . Could intake/exhaust in both rooms be controlled as one or does it have to be seprate? Thanks to whom ever for what ever info you can give

I am also soon going to be in the same boat as you. Just not as much space sadly . But I was thinking of ways for you after i read the post. Just my high thoughts but get air cooled vents for your 2 hps and have them connectied to the same duct and have that ducting be the exhaust for the room with you mh light. ( thinking you will have the two room as one a flower room and one a veg) but you will cool you flower room lights with the exhaust of veg room. cooling your lights will help your rooms temp. Then with further pulling air from outside and assroted fans and etc.

your rite thats on way but my lights are the big parabolic hoods

Hey, I was just thinking of a setup similar to yours. If it were mine I'd fill both rooms with lights (4 each room I guess) and run them on a flipflop. I'd have two 500cfm canfans blowing 24/7 between the rooms - it's a good setup to minimize day/night temp differences which will in turn minimize your stretch. Dehumidifier in each room. Big-ass 12" fan set up to a Y in the middle with a carbon filter in each room, couple of intake fans, and you're good to go. Should be able to make 23ºC your average daily temperature across both rooms if there's constant air exchange/equalization between both rooms, because if you've got the two fans constantly blowing between rooms it's like diffusing 4kw of heat from the lights in a 22x22 space which is a pretty easy setup to ventilate.

I guess this might only work for you if you're not keeping moms, but if you have access to clones you're rocking.

be sure not to veg too long. and use bushmaster to control height ,if you have a tall stretchy strain. get dehumidifier. give plants ample spacing to breathe and fans for circulation. 45 RH is a good humidity range to keep away powdery mildew, in a room that size. But you will probably have to have a heater at night,because of that window. Also consider a CO2 controller. they work great for enviro control,even if you aren't running co2. 420

My rooms are about 22x22 each, have 4 of them. Its not a basement, but its the underground level of a small commercial building, so its really just a basement anyway. That's 4 rooms for flowering, and still a trimming room, drying room, reservoir room, etc......

Check out the journal in my sig.

40-60% RH is great. A humidifier will do the job to keep it up there.

With only 3 lights, you dont really need to worry about cooling too much. Just hook em up one after the other to ducting and blow air over it and exhaust the heat out.

Dam kitty you must haul it in 22x22 thats like that bottom floor of my house lol

Not haulin yet, the room is only halfway done and still a lot to do. Its my first commercial grow attempt, but grown before a lot of course.
