OK So i am going to build my room this week end and then thought about a grow tent. I want to run a 1000 watt hps and a 400 watt mh. Do you think
76" tall is too short for that much light. the tent is 76x76x76

Thanks

The more the better, so the lumens will be welcome. However, my biggest concern would be the heat problem created. 1400W produce about 5000 BTUs of heat. If you have that calculated in you'll be fine. I would put in vented lights and a portable A/C in a situation like that
