hows the 600w hps set up look??

i got 4 23 watt cfls and a 600 watt hps with a 273 cfm squirrel cage fan. How does it look ??? any suggestions??

you got that thing light proofed? and what kind of exhaust fan you have getting rid of hot air? the 600 hps heats up.

nvm didnt read of squirrel fan. it looks legit if temps stay below 80 and its light proof. it just doesnt look like a lot of grow space. maybe its the pics. whats the dimensions of that area?

yea i can make it light proof easy. and the fan i have is a 273 suirrel cage exhaust fan that the 1st pic i got on there ... think thatll be good???

and you got a carbon scrubber setup too? you need to contain the smell

3 ft by 2 ft haha thats all i could do but its about 6 ft tall too... so maybe like 3 plants good size plants????

ima probly just lead the ducting to my window. and im checking the temps right now

you can't invest in a grow tent? with a 600hps you can do like 4 good sized and it wont be cramped as much. in that space im thinking like 1 good sized plant because its going get really wide. or just some small ones with 3 week vegs. what you got so far for genetics?

if your leading the ducting to your window you need a carbon scrubber setup because its going put all the smell right outside your window and is it going to look obvious like a big shiny ducting hanging outside the window? you would be safer spreading somewhere in your house if you dont have a scrubber.

i ordered snow white off nirvana seeds. i dont got much more money to spend haha hmmm i mean that could be fine if i did 3 weeks vegs and then started a bunch of clones and did sog?

it would be tight space. but man i hitting the sack ill get back u and help if noone else does by tmrw. gnite

my window is kind of shielded by some trees so shouldnt be a problem with them seeing it. But will smell still be a serious problem???

ight man peace take it easy!

damn temp was 85 i still am going to build that fan in the corner into the mylar so i can get some fresh air to cool it off and i might build in a fan close by the hps to blow out some of the hot air from the hps would that work ???.

any suggestions i took that fan and cut a hole in the mylar and put the fan outside blowing in through it to get some fresh air in there may seem to be working good im taking the temps right now

Do you have your ballast inside or outside the room? If it's inside I'd try to get it on the outside of the room. Have your intake close to floor level too hot air rises and the that alone will pull the cooler air at floor level in.

could i get by with a temp of 82??

the ballast is outside the room

82 is not to bad but if you can get it down another 10 degrees it would be much better. With a 600 in that tight of space you really shouldn't have to run those cfls. they just produce that much more heat. I don't know if i read this right but your using your fann pulling air into the room? If so you would be better off taking that fan and pull the air out of the room. As I said in the post above have your intake low to the floor and this will help with heat issues, unless you keep your house above 80 degrees.

A small 6 to 8" desk fan moving air around in the room also helps a bit.
