Hey so i was trying to think of a cheap effective way to eleminate the odors. Do you guys think if i took a box fan like this

And attached a carbon filter to the front (the kind used in large air purifiers) and a hepa air filter to the back with some bunji cords would it work?

You think they will be good? The fixture is very reflective metallic. It was by far the fixture that reflected the most light at the Home Depot's I went to. Do you think it may reflect too much light? Is the only way to be sure is to get a light meter?
Thanks,

Is spray paint ok? Brand? Or do I have to use gallons? ]]> Grow Room Design/Setup 944atl http://forum.grasscity.com/grow-room-design-setup/499962-stupid-paint-question.html Should I go with Wood or Metal Grow Box? http://forum.grasscity.com/grow-room-design-setup/499809-should-i-go-wood-metal-grow-box.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:00:51 GMT I'm wanting to build a wooden box OR either buy a metal cabinet for a grow box. I have previous grow experience with a 400 watt HPS in a 3.5'x3.5' closet but that was in another state and place.

I am legal, but still want to be stealthy as possible as I live in a mobile park. I have a CanFan 5" hi output fan with the CanFilter 9000 which worked well in my old closet. I don't even have a closet now so I have to make or buy a grow box.

I'm not using my 400 watt HPS, I just ordered a 250 watt HPS Galaxy electronic ballast and I'm only going with a 2' wide x 3' wide grow space. Before when I grew I always grew from seeds and this time around I'm going to get into clones. I'm sticking with soiless mix and perlite as I have experience with it and always done good with it.

Maybe someone could post some links to pictures of home built grow boxes or maybe some office supply metal cabinets.

I painted the inside with Koolseal. I built two cfl arrays like the one you see in the picture. I plan to put in three 5" axial fans along the top behind the lights blowing out and I have an 8" oscillating fan. I will drill 6-8 1" holes along the bottom for fresh air intake. The inside dimensions are 31x43x21". If I want to keep 5 or 6 mothers and up to 6 vegging clones. Do you guys think my two 6 bulb cfl arrays are going to be enough light? The bulbs are 23 watts. When I have my moms in there they will all be daylight bulbs. Ive done the math and I just need some fresh eyes to take a look at my setup. I know that based on kamels cfl guide I should add more lights, but two of these arrays practically fill the space length wise, and the arrays are as long as the cabinet is deep. With all the air flow I should be able to get the lights pretty close. If this isn't good enough, I'm gonna look into 4 or 5 two foot t5 or t8 lights and ill use one array for my clones/seedlings. Any other comment/criticisms are more than welcome.

1000 wat HPS... i was thinking of doing a Hawaiian snow perpetual. i would probably Veg for a week or 2 and flower in the buckets. how many 5-6 foot sativa plants do you think i could get in a tote this size? i would use 1000wat HPS with an 8" cooltube, along with a couple T5 fixtures providing additional side light. You think it would be realistic to fit 4 tubs under a 1000 watter? i was thinking either 2 or 4 plants per bucket, but this is where i kinda need your guyes wisdom! ]]> Grow Room Design/Setup BurnabyBud http://forum.grasscity.com/grow-room-design-setup/499565-question.html
