I am hoping for some input on how I should do my lighting. Below is a diagram of the area I am working with. I basically realized that I had some unused space beneath a stairwell that lead to the garage. I ended up extending a wall by 3 feet to create an area with separation for a Veg, flowing, and clone area. Let me state right from the beginning that my goal is for maximum quality and maximum wield. The space for my Veg room is 52?L x 33?W x 62?T, so I definitely have a limited height in that room. I would prefer to do MH, but what is the average height of a fixture? Perhaps 12?? Add the fact I will need another foot or so spacing to the top of the girls and we are talking a maximum plant height of 38? from the floor. With this issue I was considering perhaps one of those 8 tube 4 ft. T5 fixtures. For the Budding room, height is no issue. I will definitely be using HPS in here.
The growing area is 52?L x 33?W x 96?T. What would be the maximum wattage advisable for this area? All of this space will be sealed. So I will be using A/C, Co2.

The questions that I am trying to get answers for this first post are;

What are the idea lights for my two main rooms?

How much better are MH compared to T5 CF for the Veg Stage?

What is the maximum wattage for HPS advisable for a room that is
52?L x 33?W x 96?T?
