my room is 55in. high x 261/2in. long x 141/2in. deep. i lined it in mylar (no ventation as of now). i need small fans to circualte air does anyone have any ideas for a couple fans? i need to get a thermometer/hygrometer but havent looked for one yet. im goin to start with CFLs or floros how many should i have for that size room? and start with the cool blue bulbs for seedlings and vegitation right? i do have a 150w HPS security light but idk if ill use that. if i do get a HID like a MH/HPS system what size would be suitable for that room? im going to start the seedlings in rockwool in a dome (am i going to have to pre-soak the rockwool for a day before planting?) and then put them into soil after they reach the top of the dome and last thing what other things might i need inside my room?:wall:

go to best buy and get 2 of their biggest/highest CFM computer fans they are around 20 bux each.

look on the computer fans and you see the specs like 12v DC and some other stuff.. ask someone where to find a universal DC power plug in. then find the plug with the specs that are on the fan. put the wires from the fans to the wires on the plug. also look at wall mart I found a thermostat/timer/hydrogmeter/thermo for like 30 cdn

How many plant's you gonna do? Your lights are not based so much on the size of your room, but how many plants you want to put in it.

If your room is only a little over 4 ft. tall You probably want to stick to a bunch of CFLs, when the plants grow you'll run out of room quick, unless you keep them on the smaller side. I have a 250w in my closet that is only a lil over 60 in. tall

Actually I just realized, you have about 4 1/2 ft. That should be plenty for a 250w. I have almost 6 ft. of head space, and I'm going to be upgrading to a 400w soon.

It's a lot simpler to buy one computer power supply and jumping it, that way you can run as many fans as you need ;)
