i've run plants under MH light in flower with both hortilux bulbs and the sunmaster warm deluxe back in the day. none outperform a good HPS light. you are trying to reproduce nature is all. MH lights have more UV light so he may have gotten a better high or more potent plant but his MH buds would have also been more airy. that is what i always noticed.
it would be "amiga" since she is a woman. it's also not Greek...it's Spanish. she was speaking to me and since i speak Spanish i don't mind.
5x5 in a XXL or Raptor hood. a little bigger than 4x4 in the smaller hoods. if you have two hoods side by side then they cover more area between them as the footcandles overlap and are stackable. so the plants in between the two lights are getting half the footcandles they need from one light and half from the other.
the accurate way to measure the usefulness of the light your plants receive. one of the biggest misconceptions is that lumens are important in growing plants. a lumen is the measurement of light visible to the human eye. since bulbs were traditionally for lighting things so humans could see they invented lumens as a measurement of the brightness of a bulb. plants don't use lumens. they use footcandles, PAR value, and sectrum of course. problem is that all these manufacturers still use lumens when describing their bulbs when they know that they are not being used in street lamps but rather as grow lamps. you get a lot of newbs talking about lumens per square foot and so on. it's all misinformation. don't ever worry about your lumens. any good light meter will measure footcandles (fc). optimal levels for MJ growth are 5,000-10,000fc. too high and you harm the plant. too low and you deprive it.
please don't take this the wrong way but i literally have no idea what that is. LOL. just draw something out on paper and take a picture of it. i need dimensions of doors, walls, and windows. also need to know if door open in or out of rooms.
Oh come on, that was the best ascii picture ever!
Can't wait till I'm making posts like this haha.Oh come on, that was the best ascii picture ever!
Anyway, here is one more salute to Scooby! Here is my first ever harvest with his help!

EPIC for your first grow ever. Great job man. I'll take a little side credit but you really did an amazing job figuring out how to ready your plants and the nutes. We're gonna finish off those Dyna nutes this next run and move you up to something a little more complex. "He's all grownz up!"Oh come on, that was the best ascii picture ever!

And here's a pic of the way I wanted to try and do aero/ nft rails. They've worked pretty good for me for the last year except when I forgot to top of the rez one morning a few months ago and then worked a double shift and went out to the club rite after work n came home to a cemetery. 
r.I.p.
I've done this. Even on a much smaller scale, it was a nightmare. I'll stick to aero cloning but that's it for me.View attachment 2322366And here's a pic of the way I wanted to try and do aero/ nft rails.

need some actual dimensions of the room though. i see your NFT system is basically 4x19 but i wouldn't know where to fit it. covering a 4x4 space with a 1000w light means you DO NOT need to get huge hoods or those XXXL ones. any decen sun system will work; yiled master, cool sun, etc...
