First time getting things going outside of a pc box, the room was a sliding door closet, I put up false wall where the doors were and built a small trap door on the 1.75' side, now Im not really sure how to set the room up, only solid plans right now is a 400 watt MH/HPS for lighting and I have the ventilation system drawn up, just seeing if anyone has any ideas on the best use of my long skinny space
Since you dont have much depth to your room, I would definitely recommend a cool tube because of their small, compact design. Something like this: Hydrofarm RFCOOL6 6" Cool Tube
Thanks for the tips what worries me is touching the walls, I didn't think I could do a SOG without having anything touching the walls
definitely need some sort of air cooled hood. thats kinda a big foot print for a 400w.. think about how close it will need to be in the beginning.. how many plants you plant in squeezing under that lamp? given any thought to a second light or a light mover?
I have an air cooled hood, but its almost as wide as the closet is deep, and I have it on pulleys for height adjustment, like I said, lighting and ventilation are pretty much covered. my main concern is actual arrangement, I wanted to use all 7 feet of the closet, but with such a narrow space, I'm worried about branching and touching the walls causing mold and pest problems. And if I go SOG how will I tend to those unlucky guys in the back of the closet that are 7 feet from the door?
Just checking back with you guys, decided to drop the extra money and get a quantity badboy t5 4' 8 tube for lighting, after weighing my options I decided to have a flower room at a different location, where I will switch to the 400 watt hps fixture I've got, just waiting on one more paycheck to place a seed order and I'm gonna get the ball rolling sometime in the next few weeks. thanks for the advice, after some more research, I think I will have this first run to get a healthy mother or two and clone out a SOG for round two
