    Depends on how many plants. I'd be in heaven if I had that much space. The room my tents hidden in is only 6 x 9 lol

    Like Silk said brother depends on how many plants your gonna be growing in there remember to have a good read of the forum rules matey, it would also depend on the type of lights you wanna run with but a room that size is gonna need a lot of lighting, the more info you give the more guys can help you bro', all the best, G'.

    Any way to split it so you have a 2 x 10 veg rooma and 6 x 10 flower room?

    Lots of factors in picking lights.

    How many plants?
    Are you able to controll temps well?
    Unlimited budget?

    Happy growing! Cheers.

    The amount I grow will be different folk time to time... It will be in my barn and it gets pretty hot and humid here during summer. I was think about the led light, but let me know thoughts of that. Man, I wish there were no unlimited budget... I could make a veg room with part of it.

    If it's hot and you dont have any cooling you are best with LED.

    Humidity must be dealt with mid flower to finish so you probably need dehumidifier. Nothing worse than rot or mould after 3 months of work.

    I can offer some advice, but it’s late and I’m crazy high. Quote me and I’ll take a break from the trim to post a proper reply

    OK.

    So there are a few bits to consider.

    Firstly, is this growing space the only space you will have? and what kind of grow are you planning?

    If its autos in a room and thats it, then throw a few lights up to cover the space, throw in some hefty extraction and forced intake and you'll be fine.

    But personally I have split my groom in to 3 sections, one for flower, one for veg and one for systems. Well, it didnt quite start that way and there are some mods I would make for next one.

    Such as, keep all control equipment out of grow rooms, the only thing in there should be your lights and some oscillating fans, anything else is just adding extra heat that needs removing.

    Over spec the extraction system, seriously over spec it, the heat in a large room seems harder to deal with than in a smaller tent at least from experience Ive had.

    but yeah, tell me some more anbout what you plan and i'll try and help you some more.
