I'm building a grow room in my garage. It will be 10' x 13' x 9' ceiling. This will be a sealed room, exclusively for flowering. Right now I'm thinking 4 - 1000w HPS in cool tubes for lighting.

I would like to have a continuous harvest, so I'm estimating that approx. 2/3 of the room will be for the big plants and 1/3 of the space for the young plants.

I'm growing MMJ in California, so the number of plants is problematic. It would be better for me to have fewer large plants than a whole bunch of smaller plants. However, the plant count is only problematic, not insurmountable, so I'm open to suggestions. I've seen a lot on these boards about SOG and SCROG and LST etc., but darn little about growing larger plants. It seems that most everyone is coming up against headroom limitations when they use many of these various methods, but maybe I'm wrong about that.

What about the lighting? Are 4- 1000's enough? Or should I put 4 - 1000's over the more mature plants and 2 - 400's over the young ones? (The plants will have been vegged elsewhere. The "young ones" will start as healthy plants in one gallon pots.)

I would really appreciate hearing from some of the experienced growers and getting some input about the factors I should weigh in making a decision about what growing method to use.

Help, please!!!!
