Still working on setting up my growroom. Plan to use a 5' x 5' (actually 4.9') secret jardin dr150 grow tent as my flowering room. Going to use two 600w hps with ac reflectors and 6" 306 cfm exhaust fans for each. My vegetative space will be a 4' by 4' area(open atm plan to build a simple pvc/panda film tent to use light as efficiently as possible). Plan to run a 600w MH here. Mothers(will have 3-4) will be growing right next to the vegetative room, and will be covered by a 250w mh system so there will be some overlap on the 600 and 250s. Also have a 6' by 3' closet set up with 4' flouros already, which I can use for anything(storing males for pollen, isolating hermys, growing clones a bit if vegetative room isnt empty). Have three or four large oscilating fans to support air movement in the grow room. Everything sound good? Any advice or things I should try to change before I start setting everything up? Also have a few questions.

1. Is a 600w mh sufficient to cover a 4' by 4' area of vegging plants(probably be 20-25 at a time, no larger then 18" tall.

2. Is it worth paying extra for a 18" carbon filter over a 12", or would the 18" restrict air flow too much? Also anyone have experiance with the foothill filters they sell on ebay? Seem really reasonably priced.

3. Going to be using a bubble cloner. I know I need small amount of light for clones, but what light would you guys suggest for 30ish clones? 23w(or so) cfl sound about right?

Thanks for all the help! Would be lost without this site.
