I have a room big enough to fit three 5x5 tents. One for veg and the other two for flower. Veg tent will have 600w HPS. The 2 flower tents will have 1000w HPS lights. The light hoods will not have a glass. My main question is air conditioning. My set up will be alternating flower lights. 1 tent will be on (12 hrs) while the other is off. This way the 2 flower tents will never be on at the same time to reduce heat. The veg tent will always be on. There will always be plants vegging in there. I will place the ballasts outside of the room in the hallway on top of a shelf by the door. This should help with keeping the room cool. I will be buying a dual hose AC unit and a co2 tank to be placed inside room (not inside tents). I will have a can filter with a 4" fan in the room. Each tent will be ducted to the fan, which will be blowing through the filter. I will leave a duct opening open on each tent so cool air will be sucked into the tent from the air conditioned room. I will be getting a 12k+ BTU unit. Does this set up sound like it will work?
QUESTION #2 If I veg 8 plants in the veg tent and divide them up in the 2 flower tents (4 plants in each flower tent). Will my 1000w light produce 1.5+ pounds of dried bud? EDIT: Never mind. I just realized that's stupid. That would defeat the purpose of a 3 tent rotation to be able to harvest every 30 days lol.
QUESTION #3 Since the air being recirculated over and over again, that should slowly kill the smell over and over again. If the smell is too strong, I can always just add another fan/filter combo in the room somewhere to help more, right?
QUESTION #4 In my 5x5 tent that is about 7 ft tall. How many plants should I grow and in what size pot? The goal is to yield a lot. But from what I've read, which is watts is weight, I guess a 1000w bulb will yield the same amount whether there's 8 plants under it or 4 plants. Is that true?
You know it works and you have probably watched the Grow boss demonstrate it. Yield is light and canopy. If using a 1000w light in a full 5x5 then 1000 grams is doable. Doesn't matter if its one plant or 60. Add in CO2 and that can add 25%. Some people pull bigger numbers of cause and its also strain dependent.
