Lightbulb ***secret jardin dr150/1200 growzilla setup****
Whats up herbal ninjas! Im new to RIU and this is my reposted thread (originally posted in the general forum due to my complete and utter stupidity) so sorry for the repeat.

Having said that- I would really appreciate any advice/opinions on a new indoor setup im designing. Long Time outdoor/ Semi-Beginner Indoor (4 or 5 harvest behind me)...and my local shop had a Darkroom setup for display....needless to say I was hooked! Im sold on the 4'11" x 4'11" x 6'7" tent as my limits are 6 plants, I figured I could get a pretty decent yield with that size space. (2 lb. limit)

Here's what I figured as my setup so far: (all opinions and advice are greatly appreciated...just dont try to sell me on hydro...I got soil in my viens =)

1200w growzilla reflector
600w lumatek digital dual ballast
600w eye hortilux hps
600w conversion bulb, (i will switch to dual eye hortilux hps for 12/12)
2 clip on fans for circulation
co2 tank with regulator

Not sure how hot the dual bulb action of the growzilla hood gets or if it's overkill for the tent size...but 600 isn't enough, and I'd rather stay away from 1000wers...besides I think it would kick some serious nug ass

This is where I am stuck...

I know I need an exhaust hooked to a scrubber sending out nice odorless air for my neighbors to enjoy=) Just dont know what size/CFM

I also know that I want to cool the hood withouside air, through ductwork, through lights, out through ductwork to the outside.

What I don't know is what size/CFM fan would be best for the Growzilla, and if i should have a "y" junction connected to my scrubber/room exhaust so as to have 1 output from the tent, or if they each just should have their own exhaust port.

Now that I've covered exhaust & lighting what about intake?

I've heard 6 of 1 and half dozen of the other, as to whether or not passive or active...

if my exhaust is strong enough...wouldn't it pull in air from the outside? is it really necessary for an intake fan as long as my room temps were nominal?

Also, what about the co2? wouldn't the co2 im dumping from my tank just get sucked out with the exhaust?

I could really use any feedback or any experience with this setup, so thank you in advance

ahh the sweet sound of indoor chaos...i run a Sentinel to handle all my climate issues...swear by it worth every penny VERY fool proof....just plug in and grow (Sentinel Environment Controller)
As for venting your room and losing co2...yaaa but thats why u have a regulator to burp it for ya....air has around 300 ppm of co2 already so i wouldnt worry about "losing" your c02 your tank doesnt have to pump that much to get your levels to 1000 or so....
