I'm wanting to refit one of my rooms and could use a few pointers.

I currently use 6x600W in two banks of three vertically in cooltubes surrounded by 10x6' trees in Hempys, 20 plants per room. Obviously the lights can't cover the entire plant so I think I'm going to stack two lights and put four plants around each stack. I thought I'd go with individual scrog screens for each plant to make it easy to move them from the veg room. The trees I grow now are usually about 2.5' wide and 12 - 18" thick. They sit about 6 - 8" from the light with no burning. Well not too much if I'm diligent about tying them up anyway.

My flower rooms are 12x12, so it seems possible that I could put nine of these stacks in each room if they can be confined to 4x4. I planned on putting each plant on a small platform with casters so I can move them around when my giant ass is in the room.

Does anyone have an educated guess as to floor spacing for each grouping?
Thanx,
Fred
