Question 2: One gallon pots, 12 inch high single cola plants, 7.5 square inches per plant.

Question 3: I would just overlap the secondary light space.

Question 4: I would recommend tracks, yes. They do not slow flowering and disperse the light evenly. I recommend the parobolic shades with bulbs that hang straight down.

Question 1:
Well think of it this way. A 1000 watt light (merc. not recommended do to effiecency multivapors rock) will cover a 8 foot by 8 foot area with primary light and 9 by 9 with secondary light. With a track you can cover say 13 by 9 with secondary light. You will need to rotate your plants but its worth it. I throw them into bud at 4 to 5 inches and super crop (exercise) the stems so they produce a single cola that takes up 7.5 sq inches and is 12 inches high. Dry wieght is average 7.5 grams per plant. So if we take 13 feet and divide it by 7.5 inches (perpetual harvesting will increase the number by 20%) and we get 20.8 sites. Lets call it 20. Then we take 9 feet and divide by 7.5 inches and we get 14.4 so well call it 14. 14 times 20 = 280 plants at 7.5 grams each. Thats 2100 grams or 4.6 pounds. If you sell quaters for 100 bucks which is street value thats 28000 every two months per 1000 watt. I run the parobolic hoods and like them better then anything. My old room was 2000 watts on tracks and 22 feet by 9.5 feet for the bud room. Its alot of work and your going to need to sleep on your stomach so your back retains it natural curve at the lower spine(youll see) but its so much fun. I would work in my old room all day every day. So think 28000 every 65 days and that 157,000 a year if you set up a delivery serve minus 15 to 20 an hour to pay your workers. (pond liner make that puppy air tight) One MH one HPS and a garden sprayer and youll be rocken in no time. For my setup 30 mothers at two feet was fine. I do not have pictures still and or the setup at this time or I would not have time to be on the site to the extent I am now. (long personal story)
