Setting up 8' long room, 6'w 5.5'h

[vannewb]

I'm thinking of setting up an 8' long room with 4 600w HPS lights (or equivalent of LEDs or induction). 2 lights on each side of the room. Using 6" square pots.

I was thinking of putting the plants at staggered heights to the light can penetrate more easily. But the tradeoff is they end up further from the light so i can't stagger them too far. (In this picture the pots are all 4" higher than the row below.)

Any thoughts on how i should work this setup?
