Advice Setting up 2 grow rooms

[Pizza]

Hey guys I just had a some quick questions about some grow rooms I'm setting up.

1. They are both around 10x10 so I was wondering how many and what wattage light's' I need?

2. Carbon filters? These would be a good investment for absolutly no smell on exit yes?

3. Power. Depending on the lights and ballasts I use, how much will this spike my electric bill?

Thanks in advance guys

Any other advice is welcomed as I am just starting out and doing as much reading as possible.

Wow with that kind of sqr footage you are looking at 300,000 lumens per room to veg and 500,000 lumens per room to flower...I think a 1000w HPS puts out around 145,000 for flowering...so you wld be looking at 4 1000 watters to get to 500,000...you might want to partition the grow space in the room to tighten things up.

Yeah, I'm splitting both rooms 2 veg and 2 flower. Having said that, would you still recommend 4 1000 watters? ( 1 per partition )

Also what do you think the yield would be?

It's hard to recommend anything without knowing your story...by the sound of your planned grow area it sounds like you are out to grow a hell of a lot of plants...with the area you hve it wld take 500,000 lumens to flower a 10 x 10 room...so you are looking at dropping major coinage when all is said and done...there is ventilation needs also and that is going to be a nice amount of money. If you are jumping in the game just to make a quick buck you will be surprised at what it costs to do it right. Most on here grow for their own use and not too make money...this is not that kind of site...

Well, I'm trying to get those most out of the room I have. I do have somewhat of a budget but I do plan on spending some coin.

Most of this is for personal use.

How much coin? I'm guessing that you could very easily spend $3000-5000 to set up one 10 x 10' room. You are going to need to build walls and doors and put reflective material around the walls, you will need 4 1000W lights, you will need some serious ventilation fans and ducting (and probably A/C in the summer), you will need growing containers, medium, nutes, meters...

That is an awful lot of growing space for "personal use". I grow far more than I can ever smoke by myself in a 3 x 6' space (and I smoke a lot )
