I'm thinking of converting a Rubbermaid outdoor storage shed into an indoor grow cabinet. It's light weight, easily to drill/saw, easy to make light-tight and can be disassembled quickly. Hell I can enamel it white, anyway to my question...
Here is the thing, the interior is only 2'1" x 3'11" x 5'11"H. That makes having a 400w air-cooled HPS and an air filtration system damn near imposable! With the extra fan, reflector and ducting, it's just too much money.
But I do have a 200w CFL (with a perfectly fine reflector) and 4, 4' T5-HO single-bulb light strips that I used to use as supplemental lighting vertically on walls. If I added a good reflective material to the walls, would that be enough light for some really good bud?
I have only ever used 600w HPS for flowering before (I'm scaling down big time) and I have no idea how much fluorescent light I would need. Could a 250w HPS/CMH do the trick with the T5 bulbs? I could afford that.
Thanks Guys! Scaling down usually isn't my goal but my electric bill sucks!
