I hade BIG plans (600$) to make a nice little grow area but i had a budget problem and need a cheap solution to grow one plant to make up.

Im growing only one super lemon haze plant.

Box
Im making a custom 42"*42"*80" grow box. is this big enough??

Lighting
Remeber lights are expensive so im just going with 3 42w flros in the blue spectrum.

Then im switching to 2 68w Red Spectrum and 1 42w blue for Flowering

Is This enough?? Or how can i make my lights better spending only 100$ or a lil more?

Fert+Nutes
Im going with something easy and simple. Just the tripple pack fox farm set.

Air, and Ventilation
This is clearly my biggest problem when it comes to $. I need to keep it ventilated yes. But smell is the problem. i dnt wanna waste time really with creams and carbon filters etc. so i thought just bying a vortex inline or something and having it just suck all the air out to a window.

WHAAT CAN air and ventilation keeping in mind the money situation??


as you can all c i need help!!
 
if you want to increase yield then use that 100.00 and @ least buy a simple 150w hps off ebay. you could get that and have it shipped for under a bill but thats just my opinion.
 
most people do. ive read that the light spectrum of a mh light is better for vegetative so thats what i use, but many people use hps and as far as i know the results are still better than cfl vegetative results.

ok. thats understandable...

Now for the smell problem. will the small inline fan be enough to suck out the air AND SMELLS or will i ahve to get the high volocity one to take out the smels?
 
If you go with the inline fans use a 6 inch size and it should work. When i first got started i used one. I also bought a charcoal furnace filter, built a box for it, put a 6 inch adapter on it to hook a fan up to it and presto you get a charcoal filter that will help on the smell for about 30 bucks. I might still have it, if i do ill try to post a picture for you.
 
Fiming is when you take 2/3 off the new set coming in at the top/s. When you do that what happens is instead of the plant growing straight up and having one big bud and alot of popcorn below, the fimed spot grows into 4 tops or more and now you have the Hormones spreaded out and going up each branch. Thats why you fim early (5-6"high) and normally I would clone everything below the fim after 2 weeks.

Alrigth so if i just go with the cheap aluminon 6" 80cfm 29$ inline duct fan i should be ok with it sucking out all the air and smells and shooting out the ducts??

Thats another question... do all fans suck in air from one side and shoot out other or does it just push it from one side??
