New Grow, Need suggestions on set up

[ocprgrow]

I will be doing an indoor grow using the following:

6 x 600 watt HPS ( Sodium Bulbs)
Not sure on reflectors yet
In soil
hand water (open to suggestions)
Indica, Kush plants
The room will be built to any size needed to run 6 x 600 watt system, with area to move around to access all plants.
Room will have full air intake/Out take Carbon Filters,fans, etc........
will be using AC unit from house to tie into


My Question:

How big of a room will I need build to accomoadate 6 x 600 watt lights
How far should the lights be from sidewall to 1st light, how far to next light
I will be using 3 on one side and 3 on the other.
What type of reflectors to use .
Shoul I just hang bulbs with no reflectors.
Would need drainage suggestions.
Size pots ( square,round or crates )
How far apart from each pot.

Any reccomened info is welcomed, and appreciated

I will be supplying a large collective in California, so this will be our 1st small grow and then will expand ASAP.
I am looking forward to sarting a grow journal here on the site, and will update weekly to show complete results for other hobbiest

6 x 600w HPS? Thats surely going to be massive?!!!

I would say each light would be enough for 4-6plants, definatly if you use reflectors, they'll increase your lumens by a great deal.

Make sure you get 3-5 Gallon pots, start with the light about a foot away.

That sounds like a massive undertaking for a new grower... or have you done smaller grows in the past?

Your definately gonna need something to control the humidity.

And I would also get your water checked out and get a RO if needed before you start.

Any other things you can reccomend?

Thanks to all
