Nita and kiki- I usually water them by group. I take down 1 wall, put them in the tub and hose 'em down, wait 20 minutes then hang them back up, I do it on Mondays while I'm washing mounds of laundry.
kiki- I try to adjust the lights seasonally, they're on 8hrs in the winter, then I work up to 14 or so in the summer.
Bird song- WOW your room is going to be huge. You could probably slap 300 in there with no problem. One thing I would suggest is a ceiling fan, maybe 2 in a room that size, they make air circulation so much easier. I have a portable wet wall that I got at Sams/Costco (do you have something similar up there?)it's great for getting humidity into a room, I know your winters are cold and dry. I would also decide ahead of time what parts of the room will be used for. You'll probably want a sitting area or maybe a dining area. It kind of helps when your watering (you don't want overflow water sitting on wood furniture). Let me see....use outdoor paint, we didn't at first and I'm paying for it. I think if I was building a room from the ground up now I would put a drain in the floor in the main watering area that way I could spray if I wanted without worrying about run off. That's all I can think of for now.
