  1. here we go....


    KIT I WANT TO USE. 150W Grow Light, High Pressure Sodium Lights, Bulb, Grow Lights System

    TENT I WANT TO USE. Grow Tent MYLAR HYDRO Room 2' x 2' x 4.5' Green Hut NEW - eBay (item 170598577488 end time Feb-09-11 23:00:17 PST)

    LIST OF QUESTIONS..

    1. will this setup up work?

    2. IS IT SMART TO ORDER THE GROWKIT FROM CALIGROW KITS OR SOMWHERE ELSE?

    3. HOW MUCH WILL I YIELD FROM THIS KIT

    4 WHAT TYPE OF FAN WILL I NEED?

    BY YOU GUYS KNOWING WHAT I AM GOING TO USE AN YALL GIVE ME SOME PROS AND CONS? WOULD YOU GUYS DO SUMTHNG DIFFERENT? JUST WANT TO GROW FOR ME FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THAnks
     
  2. I personally wouldn't buy that kit. It's pretty much just a 150w from HTG ($70), a homemade hydro setup, and a few extras. I don't have a lot of time right now so I'll come back a little later and tell you what I'd buy instead.
     
  3. cool... a few more ques..

    what would you do as far as exhaust? step by step please.

    would heat signature be a problem with the 150? how many watts can i go without any problems? i live in a townhome/apartment btw.

    thanks

    Here's a pic of how my exhaust is setup. My fan pulls air through the carbon filter then the hood then blows out of the tent. In the pic it's not hooked to the filter.

    Here's the fan I use- Valueline 6" fan. It's overkill for a 150w but if you plan on upgrading it'll be good to have.

    No, you don't have to worry about heat signature from a 150w. As long as your breaker can handle it, you should be fine with 1-2k if you wanted.

  6. I meant to put a period after that sorry. Editing it now.
     
  7. u might want a bigger bulb, like a 250 or 450 at least.
     
  8. more lights = bigger yield

    so the question you should ask your self is how gun ho are you?
