Or 5 by 5 feet.
Depending on the movement you want around your plants.

I'd say bigger. Then you can expand. To conserve light, hang a mylar curtain across the room at the right dimension for whatever light you're using. Then if you get another light, just take down the curtain. When I was in my growroom I was using 1x1000 +1x400 HPS in a space 7x12 feet. I'd say ideally make a 8x16 room, then you can divide it for veg/flower, or you can add another 1000w, and still be able to walk around and tend your girls.
a 1000w would be perfect in a 4'x5' area (1000w/20sqft=50w per sqft)
using that in a c13 would be overkill and the heat would be difficult to manage
im using a c13 right now actually and i have a 400w in there.. i started a log but there arent any pics right now, trying to get ahold of a camera
ok, well me and the wife have measured 5x now and we have came up with a area for you guys
ill be working with 2.5' wide 5.5 long and 7' high
here is what im thinking, 2 400w hps/mh,
im a experianced scrog user so that is what im sticking with.
i liek to keep my plant ## low just in case leo pop in for a talk if you k now what i mean, so around 3 plants max in dwc
what kinda exhaust you guys suggest? iv always grown in i guess an " open atmospher" so i havnt had the need for exhaust just little fans to move air
oh sorry about all the spacing...my damn space bar on my laptop is jacked up....lol
anyone have a link for cfm calc?
get the area of your grow space... 7x5.5x2.5 so .. w hat... like 96cu ft. id go with something from 400-500 cuz you wanna change the air 3-5 times a minute for good circulation,,
look around on this page http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/items.asp...atus=0&Tp=&Bc=
thx man, i ended up gettting a 700cfm fan with a carbon scrubberQuote:

: )
I would spend ost of my time and energy and $$$ on exhaust and temperature control.. Then I would make sure that the lights are as close as possible to my foilage.. about 12 inches...
