One, I don't think your gas water heater will be a problem at all. It may even produce some CO2 which would be beneficial.
White Poly works great to line walls, styrofoam panels, or even mylar emergency blankets are also an option.
I think in your situation (long/narrow space) you'd be better off with multiple lights. i.e. 3 400 watters or 3 600 watters. I think you'd get a more efficient use of light and space that way.

Im also with hornet on the multiple lights, especially since space is not much of a concern.
Have you thought about soil or hydro?

I was thinking of using soil for my first few indoor grows. I have a few outdoor soil grows under my belt but indoor is a new thing to me.
My biggest concern here is money. I'm not a rich guy. Multiple lamps costs quite a bit of money...but I know it'd be the best way of doing this, or pretty much the only way, of having such a long grow room. I know I don't have to use the whole length of the room, too. I was thinking last night about maybe doing 2-1000w lamps, in 2 seperate 5x5ft spaces, one for flower and one for veg. Would 1000w be too much for the veg?
So help me out guys...how can I do this the best for not a whole lot of money? I have been looking at the ValuLine ballasts and lights on
www.discounthydro.com which look very nice for the price, are switchable, and have a 5 year warranty and a 1 year warranty on the bulbs. And for $199 for the switchable 1000w and another $50 for a bulb, I think its a pretty damn good deal compared to what else I've seen.
Also, how horrible is this eBay setup?

I figured its uber cheap and didn't wanna bother but if anyones had some good experience with them maybe I'll try it out.
Thanks for the help
