Do you guys think a 1000w Mh for veg and a 1000w hps will be perfect for my grow space of 2.7m high, 2.3m long and 2.1 wide? Please help before I purchase the globes and ballast

These people owe u something man.. I spent over 6k on my system after you recommended them.. I'm going to go with a 1000w Mh nd switch to the 1000w hps.. Pretty expensive but I want quality equipment so I got the most expensive ballast they got
Yeah They are good people. Glad to help. Good luck I hope it goes well.

Anyone can help with my vent setup?.. About to make the holes in the wall... Should my fan only vent the lights because if it vents the room it's gonna empty the rooms air each minute then what's the point of my dehumifier if air goes out every minute... Sorry for sounding stonned I am

Should I put the inline fan and vent something like this? And then have a small fan bringing fresh air to the grow
Somehow i missed a post, i said bulb grow meaning HID setup.

So the pic above looks ok for a sealed room. Is your a sealed set up or are you exchanging air?
With a sealed room you would run co2, have the light indepedantly cooled, like it looks in the pic.
With a non sealed room and standard air exchange you would have the air been pulled from the room itself by the fan, pushed over through the cooltube and then to a hole leading out of the room and house. Difference been your removeing the air and exchanging it as it gets replenished either passivly of by intake fan. Its up to you if you want an intake, climate will dictate if its needed.

It is a sealed room .. I was going to use the fan to exchange air aswell as cool tube but then there will be too much moisture in the air.. And I already bought a dehumifier.. So I was thinking of putting a small wall fan to get fresh air from outside without bringing too much humidity in.. How much do these co2 setups cost?

Im really not sure on the price of co2, I don't think the co2 itself in tanks is expensive but the regulators might be. You can also use burners I think to create it. Not my bag though mate, never used it. I like traditional air exchange.

Are you sure you will have a problem with humidity? I thought SA was fairly low humidity.

I'm in Durban..its coastline with very high humidity. average is 77% humidity. .. I put my humidifier on to test it and it got 1l water in half and hour and there wasn't even plants In the room. Imagine after I water the plants... I don't think co2 will work for me cause the grow room is in my house, 1 malfunction we all don't wake up.. I'm thinking since it's an 8" fan I'll put a small pipe through the ducting so small amount of air will get sucked out the room..
