the room i will be using is 11.5 x 17 ft. one issue is the 7'6" ceiling. this has me a little worried.
Im trying to stay down around 4-6 lights, with the math ive been doing this should keep me in my 6k budget (ol lady) i will be able to spend a little more if needed but just to be frank 10k+ is outta my range financially. this will already take some time as is.
im thinking my biggest purchases other than the lighting itself will be the A/C, (i have a 10 ton for my house i can use if i really need to. just have to put a dampner in i think... correct me please people) water chiller.
Or should i just save my money on the extra lights and do 6 lights in hoods over 6 plants. keep in mind im just trying to yeild as much as i can with 6 plants. as many times a year i can.
and if the MPB bucket just isnt the right system for me, PLEASE let me know. Am i being realistic with a sub 9k room?
i think im gonna go with a 5 light four plant set up

All four plants getting light from three sides. do you guys think its possible to yield 1/2 to 1 pound per plant this way?
very space friendly i think, should leave plenty of room to wall off so i can keep the pumps and res seperate.
My plan is to run a 40 gal res with a 1/4 hp chiller. do you think ill need a bigger chiller and res? i could go with a 70 gal res.
Im trying to keep the setup as clean, compact and simple as possible.
Im still not even sure if this is all in my budget yet or not. im hearing people say dont get started without 15k. its like jeez i cant add up enough things that i could possibly need for that much. granted im not taking in the account of the cost of the actual room itself with drywall and all. this is just an investment on my house and isnt part of my actual grow budget.
i found a hydrofarm for 750 + shipping are they any good?
shipping is only like 30 bucks for ground shipping via UPS.
And ive been looking at the A/C and was wondering if i could get away with 30k instead of 36k and if i wanted to add lights in the future i can just add another 30k maybe? the most ill ever run in the room is nine lights. and ive been looking at the friedrichs TF, and the prices are about the same. what unit are you running exactly if you dont mind me asking.
oh wow those window units are much more economical.
but you said they dont run as efficient as mini splits. im not gonna see like a 100 dollar a month difference between the two do you? if thats the case ill save my pennies now and get a mini split.
i didnt know they had three ton window units.
I hear good stuff about LG's. If you run 18 x 8.5 as a footprint, you are using more co2 to saturate the area than you need. As far as the duct header, you shouldn't plan on any MPB buckets below them.
