4'W x 4'L x 8' high room. equipment?

Hi all. Im in the middle of building a room (4 x 4 x . Im searching for the best most cost effecint lighting to go with. I dont want to break the bank because i am only growing for myself. No profit. No return.

Also what would be my best options for ventalition? Its in a mancave out in the garage so stealth isnt a concerne.

This is my first indoor grow so i would like to make it the best i can but without singing over my sole to pay for it.

Any and all info is great!

Thanks all!

a 600 watt light in an air cooled hood with a 6'' fan would do the trick nicely.

Ok thats great! Thanks for the fast reply!

Ill start looking into that. Im using HO t5s for seedlings and for veg right now untill i have the room built.

What is your price range?

You'll need at least a 400 cfm exhaust fan for starters. Your grow room is 128 cubic feet and the air needs to be exchanged around 3 times a minute.

I don't know if odor is an issue but it usually is. Carbon Filter IS A MAJOR KEY,

Also a duct muffler if you don't want it getting too loud.

Lights and growing medium are your next step.

If you wanna save on lights i reccomend using the 6500 k lights and then switiching to 3000k for flowering under the same fixture. and then upgrade on your next grow.

Look for 400 watt mh or hps used u can pick up hood and balast for around 40$ air cooled hood is over kill with 8 ft ceiling if you have an exaust fan in the room

I'll take a pic of my 4x4 with a recirculating deep water culture

Wow lots to think about tonight hahaha. This is grat info guys thanks so much!. I am hopeing to get everything all at once.

So for lighting most of you would agree on 400-600hps.

And a min of 400cfm fan.

My price range would be $400. I was hopeing that would get me a decent setup that i wouldnt need to mess with for a while once its dialed in.

Also as for stealth im not that concerned. I will vent it out the back of the room takeing it outside. No neighbours arround. But if i find its to much ill add a carbon filter.
