 room before revamp

Here is some pictures of the room before adding the 2x 1000w cool tubes, the hood had 2x 1000w bulbs but the heat was to intense with the bulbs 6inches apart. The hood now contains 2x 600w one red one blue and currently hooking up the cool tubes in various ways to try and spread out the heat a little. Also installed a 6' light rail system.
If anyone has done something like this and has information that would save me setting everything up 4 times to get optimal I would appreciate it.
Here is my wind burnt Williams Wonder, it is the one from the pics a few months ago.

Wow, I'm insanely jealous of the space you have available to you. How many plants are you planning on sticking in there?

I am not sure how many will go in here, I have 6x 22gl DWC setups. I was going to go 1 plant in each but after getting everything in there I know I can grow 2-3 in each. I have one dwc started and 6 various strains in soil. My hold up at this point is the clones I have are infested with bugs and I wont move them in with the others, so I can flower 6 right now but I dont have more to cycle in so I was going to wait for 2 more weeks until I can set a proper schedule.
I am building a frame with a screen 18" x 6' to soak up some fringe light but I think I need a different strain that likes screens more as the one I have in veg is 60 days old and needs another 60 to even be effective for that application.
the room is 16'x11' a pic from awhile ago when the heat started cooking them.
small rant
This whole project has been a cluster #$%^ from the get go, the first hydroshop completely wasted my time more times than I can count. Ended up going to the hydrofarm shop and got a load of adapters to change over from sunsystems and I tried so dam hard to keep everything from the same company. Even took the adapter plate off the existing socket and took it to a machine shop and had them make me a few after 4 tries of getting it from the ss shop.
/rant off
It is hard to be waiting on clones with all this flower power but it just goes to show I should have got seeds hehe. Even though I doubt you can find seeds for the plants I have now.

IMO Clones > Seeds. Sure it may take a little bit getting a viable mom, but once you find her it makes life so much easier.

It is a lot of juice but it depends how much you spend to buy it somewhere else, if it saves you 600$ a month the price seems to still come out cheaper in the end. This is a long term commitment as you can see by my room its not a single grow operation.
I have a medical card for migraines, I would say 90% of the stuff I have gotten from medicinal growers has been useless for head pain. Rather than waste 5-6k a year on the wrong stuff grown with who knows what I decided to just do it myself.
3200w is a lot but thats what I feel I need to get what I want out of it. Now I just have to cool it down.

AC is on the way, here is one of the 1000w cool tubes thats mounted to the hood, I didnt get a good pic of the light rail its all on. Did manage to drop the temp 6deg by arranging the duct work straighter. Cutting vents in to exhaust the lights out side and that will remove @ 10' and 2 bends in it. Also in the process of making a scrubber out of some 6' sauna tubes.
The 5x4 screen is almost done going to throw this williams and a lemon kush under it.
