Hey Guys... New To the Forum, Would Love a little Help!

Starting my first grow indoors shortly. I am doing a 2000 watt grow, in a 9X11.5 room. The 9X11.5 does not include the closet which will be used as a mother. I have a few quick questions.
a.) How much space should I assume each plant will take up when full grown? I have read 1 sqaure foot, as we right on that one? That would be 20 square feet per 1000 watt lamp, for a total of forty plants... correct?

Never done it, though the math should be easy. Unfortunately, I'm too stoned to go check up on it. Spontaneously, I think 40 perhaps sounds a little on the large side. There are threads on it somewhere.

b.) I purchased some mylar-like material and I am going to hang it tonight. It is black on one side, and white on the other. I am assuming the white just faces towards the room, and you attach it to the wall?

Yes.

c.) I have been instructed by a few friends, and unfortunately their opinions on this matter differ. One says I want to section off two seperate gardens for each night (obviously in the same room but have a walk way in the middle) and then plan to have my garden extend to the walls. He says this will make for better use of the mylar-like material and will gain me some lumens. The other friend says he would rather have a bit of a cramped garden, but have 6-8 inches on the side to walk around each garden under their respective lamps. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!:rasta: :rasta: imp:

The reflective argument is understandable, but on the other hand, you'll need to section off at least half for flowering, unless you plan to only grow once.
Flowering takes more space, since the plants are at their largest during that phase, at which point you should be in the ballpark of 2 gallon pots, which is around a square foot I guess.
