I found this growing area guide on another site. It doesnt mesh with what I read on this site.
Disrupt86 is correct about the approximate coverage areas of those lights, IMO. :thumbsup:

ddcolorado, at this stage of your research you should feel free to change your mind frequently about how to set up your grow. You have many, many variables to consider, and at this stage of the game totally changing your mind doesn't cost a cent.

There are lotsa "sticky" threads at the top of various topics. Read all the ones by Stinkyattic and Rhizome.

I'm just gonna throw some things out there for you to consider as you're studying up. You may wanna start a little smaller in case you want to make design changes. Once you get your production maxed out, changes may be difficult to implement.

1. That "5x5" area that a 1K light's supposed to cover is more a reference number (25 sq. ft.) than a fact of life. The shape and style of your reflector is what'll give you the actual footprint of your light. Might be 6' x 4'. Maybe 3.5' x 7'. And so on. Match the shape of your room to your lamp/reflector combinations. The possibilities are endless.

2. Flowering or fruiting plants requires a lot more light than just vegging them, whether we're talking about cannabis or cucumbers. You can veg some pretty hefty plants using inexpensive, cool running fluoros. Lowly shoplights from HoPo will work pretty well. But you gotta "put the wood to 'em" in the flower room, though. And you've only got 12 hours a day to do it. Setting up a 1000 watt veg room to supply a 1000 watt flower room is a poor allocation of resources, IMO. I've heard of an efficient little operation using ~150 watts veg / ~500 watts flower, for example.

3. Cloning is easy and super fun, and just about zero cost. Read Stinky's sticky, follow the instructions carefully. It's just taking cuttings, no hocus pocus involved. Start with your store-bought nine clones, and take your own subsequent cuttings from them when they're bigger. You will never have to buy seeds or clones again! I heard of a guy who popped one single seed and grew for over a year from its cuts. He was glad he got a female, lemme tell ya...

4. Lighting's easy because the need is so obvious. The part people screw up is adequate ventilation. By the time you realize you're having problems, it may not be a cheap or easy fix. Go with overkill the first time around and save yourself some grief.

5. Disrupt makes a good point about heat problems in summer. And you DO NOT want to be pulling air from a crawl space under your house into your grow. MAYBE you can get away with it in the winter, IDK. In the summer, you're gonna get mold spores, insect eggs, bugs, demons, vagrants, etc., etc.

Just some things to think about. In general, mj is comparitively easy to grow and quite forgiving. HTH. Hermie.

P.S. Take your time and look at other folks' setups on this site. You should be able to find something close to what you're planning, and fine tune it to your situation, No sense reinventing the wheel. :thumbsup:
