Simmiliar boat so thanks for the post and replys:

First space is 40 inches wide by 6 ft long, 5 ft vertical and I've been using 8 bulb T5 4ft mixed spectrum light. I have mylar all around but with the light so close to plants I don't think I'm getting good light/reflected to the lateral plants. Originally I was going to make due with just this space, but I'm seeing the need to have atleast 2nd space for flowering and then probably third for mothers.

For the second space, simmililar size where it is narrow...I've considered getting two more simmiliar T5 light sets and having them mounted on the walls versus hanging from above-does this make sense?

Then cost wise, initial...might make more sense to get 600w hps for flowering. There's six inch duct work in place as that had been the original lighting plan...might take some effort to upgrade electric line. So I'm torn as to which system would make the most sense
genuine Reviewed by genuine on . First Indoor Grow... HPS vs. T5 floro's So next week i plan to break ground on my first indoor grow. The space i have to work with is 60" x 24" x 60" or 5' long x 2' wide x 5' high (in actuality, this is a window box on a 3rd floor i chose for access to ventilation and privacy). I plan to split this space into two equal rooms (2.5' x 2' x 5') and use a identical ebb & flow systems for each room. The veg room will have a total of 4 x 2ft, full spectrum t5's, and flower room would have the same setup only will 3600k lights. The 4 x Rating: 5
