What do you think about my setup? Any suggestions

  1. I will be using a Freezer top Fridge.

    Vegetative Stage:


    • The top box is 9 cu.ft. It will be used for vegetation.
    • I will use a 250 watt MH light with reflector and ballast. I will need 2000-2500 lumen for every cubic foot. (2000Lx9cu.ft.=18000Lumen min) to (2500X9cu.ft.=22500Lumen needed max) <For every watt there are roughly 85 lumen> (250wattsx85Lumen=21250)

    1. I will install a 250 watt MH Lamp
    2. A 6" extractor van
    3. Mylar paper for added reflection
    4. A cooling fan
    5. Hygrometer to measure humidity
    6. Thermometer to measure temperature
    Flowering Stage:


    • The bottom box is 15 cu.ft. It will be used for Flowering.
    • I will use a 400 watt HPS light with reflector and ballast. I will need 3000-3500 lumen for every cubic foot. (3000Lx15cu.ft.=45000 Lumen min) to (3500Lx15cu.ft.=52500 needed max) <For every watt there are roughly 105 lumen> (450wattsx105Lumen=47250)

    1. I will install a 450 watt HPS Lamp
    2. 2 oscillating fans to keep plants cool
    3. A Co2 tank or Co2 alternative
    4. Mylar paper
    5. Hygrometer
    6. Thermometer
    7. Maybe purchase a dehumidifier and/ or humidifier
    8. Install an heat escape vent between the two boxes.

    I will be using soil???
    If I am missing something please let me know.....
     
  2. I'd like to see a pic of your setup. I have a side by side fridge I gutted out to grow in but had a real hard time keeping the temps under control and I have a 400w hps in it. I'd suggest doing a scrog in it for max yield. Only thing I can think of that ya didnt list would be carbon filter for odor control. Good luck.
     
  3. Thanks. Ya I forgot to mention the carbon filter is attached to the extractor fan.
