thanks.

are you trying to do a CFL or HID setup? do you have anything for ventilation in the box? what do you plan to grow?

well i just got a great deal on a 400 watt electronic ballast with a hps and mh. i definately plan on having ventilation.

thanks

Is this your first grow? If so i would get a couple regular grows under your belt first before you go for something like a perpetual harvest grow. Their will be a lot of bugs to work out and get the temps under control. And a lot more but i would just go as simple as you can for the first couple grows so you don't get discouraged and shit. Good Luck on whatever you decide.

heres what i plan to do about the ventilation issues. let me know if i retarded or not. since the grow box is in my bedroom and my bedroom had a little a/c unit, i figured i can set it up on a thermo inside the box. that way i can keep the room around 72 thus keeping the box around 72. and of course there will be lots of air being sucks out the top of the box. will this work?
also i dedided to go 28"x28"x6' so i can grow sativas too.

thanks

I'd have to agree. Alot of people think they can start off and design a kick ass gigantic perpetual harves, four chambered cabinet. They start, pour shitloads of money into it and can't get it to work because they have little to no experience. Start basic. Get an exhaust fan, a smaller hid light (150-250 watt), or just some CFLs, plant some shit and learn from it. Don't go complicated. Every grow you can add something. Like on yoru second, add a scrubber. On the third try taking clones. On the fourth supplement vegging with MH. On the fifth try bigger lights. That kinda thing. Keep it simple.
