just see how your first run turns out mate would be worth getting a hps if u can afford it do u really have a budget .? and what about space ect .?
see ive been planning on growing for years and my cousin has done for years so iv seen it all lol and i know for a fact if u want some proper dank buds and few oz every 8-9 weeks then hps is deffo the way forward..>>>... with a 250w hps u cud have 2-3 autos maybe even 4 and pull minimum 1 oz of each if u use nutes and keep the temps stable u will get more alot more using scrog ect its all about how much u really want it man im running this cfl grow to get some hands on experance myself and to see just how chuffed ill be with the produce . looking at 250w hps grows on here makes me well jellous like i said the growth is exceptional compared with cfls deffo worth while

I'm making a grow box to fit inside which will be around 30cm (length) x 30cm (width) x 60cm (height). I have quite a low budget but I can upgrade it later down the lineSent from my W100 using Tapatalk

I may upgrade to hps but they product heat and that would get me paranoid about fires also I would be more paranoid about helicopters which fly over with thermal ray cameras. I know it sounds silly but.. Sent from my W100 using Tapatalk
ur paranoid about all the things i was to start with ... tbh man a 250w hps produces heat but u aint got to worrie about the heat source being detected because thats only the case when u have got mutiple 1000w hps running within a room / house i know someone that has a 1000w hps running in a spare room in his house hes been running his set-up for over a year now and no heat from feds . as for fires if u use a magnetic ballast they run real hot so i see your paranoia there but digital ones run cool and quiet plus use less electric they all have built in cut-offs for surges or overheating they wont even strike a bulb that it thinks is at the end of its life there smart peices of kit 100% safe in my opinion

First I would need to research about it. My main concern is odour. I wouldn't want anyone from outside my house to smell it. I would be incredibly paranoid. The less people who know in my location the better.What are your air intake and out take solutions ? I'm thinking of having passive air way. Or 1 intake and 1 outtake fan. I haven't fully decided yet. Sent from my W100 using Tapatalk
for your box go for pc fans perhaps 1 intake at bottom then one outtake above cfl as heat rises so will the smell look into ona blocks there very usefull for all odors my intake is a clip on 5w computer desk fan . Then homemade ona block iv basicly cut the top of one ona block and stuck a fan above it drawing the ona out into my bedroom which is outside the airing cupboard its not ideal but for now it works can only smell when i go into my grow area im spending just over £200 in few weeks getting a 75x75x180cm tent ruck+rhino air filter kit 250w maxibright digilight ballast euro reflector dual spectrum hps (sunmaster) 50l bag of bat shit soil some nutes and few other bits its expensive but will pay for its self in not even 3 months lol

They give out strong smells which blocks the odour of wees correct? Do you know if you can buy something which 'inhales or takes in' all the small instead of masking it? That would be much better but I doubt will have that technology yet, haha.That's Another reason I'm not keen on hps at the moment is because of the small space. You have more then double the space I have (lucky) if I had a bigger space maybe. Can't wait to see all your equipment! Sent from my W100 using Tapatalk

I have a pet shop down the road which sells active carbon. If it does get really bad I will invested in some ona blocks. How much are you suspecting on your 2 plants? Sent from my W100 using Tapatalk
