i bought this Amazon.com: Secret Jardin DarkRoom 60 - 24 x 24 x 55.2 Inches: Gateway here are my questions: i wanna grow 4 plants, what is the best light for this and do i need to change the bulbs out for veg and flowering in a hps light or should i get a t5 system? where is a nice place to get a t5 system? whats the best fans for this since its 20 cubic feet?
You need a 60 CFM fan Or a 120 CfM rated fan with a carbon scrubber use a pc fan. And a switchable ac/dc converter from radio shack you can use cfls but yield is alway related to total watts used
yea i just don't wanna use cfls, i want one light for 4 plants like the t5 set up or hps mh something like that but nothing that needs a ballast. i also don't wanna have any heat problems
Well even cfls have ballasts. So your gonna use the sun? Hahahahaha. Know what your sayin though t5's are sweet
You won't need a MH light. HPS will be perfect throughout the entire grow. Also, that looks like some Chinese, knock-off, burn-down-the-house light so watch out for those. I would stick with some more reliable, better known gear for this type of application for quality and safety.
For veg you should use cfls or t5s and for flowering you should use a 400 watt HPS with a cool tube, you can not run HPS or MH in such a small tent with out ventilation and all HID systems have a ballast... Here is a shopping list of some things you will need. http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute...-list-beginners-other-useful-information.html $104 2 foot 4 bulb t5 system www.dchydro.com
