Hello all! Have a couple on the go outside however due to them flowering so late and the weather getting worse by the day my pal may have to accommodate a new room-mate, not that she's not welcome! My questions are: 1. will a 600w HPS be sufficient enough? 2. How far do You have to go with ventilation? don't want to spend masses of money my initial though was to just have an oscillating fan and leave the flaps open, very intricate I know. Never done an indoor wasn't even planning on it so any help is welcomed, thanks!

The challenge is odor control. Taking care of it requires a fairly sealed environment with intake and outake (and a carbon filter). Plants sitting in a normal room will stink up your pad.

Thanks for advice mate! Will definitely be investing in one, what would you say for the ventilation then as I'm worried about humidity, temps and such as obviously they've been use to constant air movement and lower temps, thanks again!

An oscillating fan is good to use. But man, I only have two plants in my tent right now. One week into flower. I just opened my tent and poof, stinky. Growing a cheese strain so normal but if I didn't have a controlled enviro my house would stink.

Humidity should be fine indoors. I use a dehumidifer in late flower if it gets too high. The lights will dry the air some.

Good to know, you're reassuring me here haha do you have any thoughts on the actual act of bringing them in as they've had a month indoors as seedlings but have since been hardened off and been out in the open for a few months will there be any ruthless shock atall? Don't want hermies on my hands lol thanks for info mate

I have no idea. Prob couldn't hurt to go 25% indoor a couple days, then 50%, etc if you feel like it. Personally, I think peeps worry about herming plants too much. I think it takes pretty extreme and/or ongoing stress to herm one. Some are prob more gentically prone to it.
