Noob Questions about CFL Grow Room

Ok so I what to use this 36"L x 20 1/4"D x 63" H
First off these are noob questions any input would be greatly appreciated. I will list things that I would like you guys and girls expert opinions on. Oh also this room is only for Flowering I will have a seperate room for Veg and Clones and I should mention all will be done in hydro.

1. First what type and Watt CFL's would be the most effective along with what exhaust cfm and intake cfm are needed?
2. What method would best be suited for this room?
A. Should I veg 1-3 lst and then SCROG in the flower(in another room of course) in a 5 gallon hydro?

B. Should I veg (in another room) using SOG method? If so how many plants are advisied and at how many inches should they be flowered?

3. Final question has to do with exhaust and smell and installation. I read conflicting reports on this one. When you set up exhaust for CFL should you be pulling air through to the carbon filter or pushing air to the carbon filter?

I appoligize if someone has already asked this. Again I appreciate any information from you guys and girls.

Any help please bump

nobody? bump

is this just not feasable to pull off a grow in?

1.-CFL type 2700k for Flowering, and 6500k for veg...Anything 23w or above is good, I'm partial to the 42w bulbs myself. Your room is about 30ish cubic feet? Try to get at least a 60cfm exhaust fan, passive intake is ok.

2.-Personal preference on what type of grow you would like...this cab is suitable for several types.

3.-When you're setting up ventilation for a sealed room, pulling air out of the room is always more effecient...Negative pressure is the way to go.


If anything, that cab might be overkill for a CFL grow, and if I had a professionally made grow tent I'd be running HID lighting, but I understand not everyone has that option. You're good, set your tent up and start growing.

thanks meta... i would run a HID but from what i understand from reading it would get way too hot in there and i probably wouldnt be able to cool it
