Hello all 
.
First off all id like to thank @Teddy Edwards for the continued support and help as always.
So iv recently started a shed grow room, its nearly finished, i just have a few touch ups to do and its all go, i just have a few questions about lighting and the space its in if i can.
Im growing 4 plants in soil, 20L pots, there around 2.5ft tall now, untrained, the walls have been covered with diamond reflective material, with a small let screw in bulb its quite bright so the reflective is working perfect, 8 inch 600mm long carbon filter, i am going to convert to LED but hps for now and when the summer hits ill have enough money to either build a full rig or buy a made setup.
I have a good 2x6ft space to light up, could i just use 1 600w hps light in the middle or maybe use a adjuster a wing reflector which i dont have but could buy one, or a 400w and 600w setup?
Second question is when i plan to convert to LED i want something thats much more over powered for the space, 1000w draw is what im looking for so i know im getting every gram possible for the space, id like something that maybe commercial growers use or "if" its viable i will build my own, but as always im always wanting yield as most of you know leccy isnt cheap these days, heat wont be a problem as im also building pipework into the walls that will feed air conditioning and humidity.
My final question is does anyone have or know of solar panel setups as im thinking eventually i would like to either run the plants from the panels or part off it so it cuts my electricity bill down, im always in the garden with power tools so people wont think its a miss if there bigger than your normal pond solar panels.
Thanks and i hope and wish everyone is in fit health
