My first medical grow. 600w, 6 Burkle, fox far ocean forest cut with light warrior. The room is a walk in closet. I put 1" strirafome insulation on the floor and covered it with 6mil black plastic 1 foot up the walls. Used 4 2x4s for ceiling so as not to drill into anything. Ran 12gauge wire from light junction block to a 4gang outlet then covered and sealed everything in panda paper with duct tape. I call it my Dexter room. LOL. Lamp is a med adjust-a-wing with super spreader. I'm thinking the super spreader should only be used on 1000w but haven't confirmed experiment. It is powered by a lumitek digital ballast with digalux bulbs. I wish I would of got 2 HPS but next harvest im going to try just HPS and see if it makes a cost to yield ratio more productive. The vent system is semi sealed due to my lung room which houses the air conditioner and hepa air purifier witch both run 24/7.
@roadsidewarrior The temp readings were before I added ventilation. I have a 4 inch vortex exhaust (175cfm) and a 4 inch cheesy inline (100cfm) for intake. After I finish the current grow I will be tearing down the closet and rebuilding it with detailed explanations so check back in late feb. Thanks for watching.

@cjcottew I was thinking about spliting the room for next grow or add another 600w and more plants or just grow them bigger than 4ft.

1000w mh or hps because you know mh does not cary the spectrum nesessary for bloom and i would say one hps is all you need fr that small room i would have split it in half one for your clones and seeds and another for your big plants n bloom.
