I have a peach of a garage that`s just become avaliable and want to use it for flowering, seeing as the lights (400w HPS) will be on 12/12 that would be 7am-7pm on and 7pm-7am off should i worry about thermal signature ?

I will veg indoors under MH 18/6 the move them to the garage for blooming, i want to box it all in with some good through ventilation and carbon filtering to cure any smell escaping, what do you think guys ?


Will using milar mask any thermal signature or can i use anything else, be honest guys and i thank you for your input. Peace.

You're using ONE 400w HPS? that heat off one of those arn't intensed enough to detect.

Don't trip over it. Not only is 1 400 watt HPS lamp not enough to give off a questionable amount of thermal radiation, but thermal imaging has been banned in most (if not all states) without a warrant, and if the po-po have a warrant, than what the fuck is the point of thermal imaging?:thumbsup:

good luck,

If your really paranoid man get some ADF Mylar = Anti detection film. not much nore expensive than norml myler. And will do the trick.

Peace happy growing man

does the garage have an attic? if so you're fine, if it doesn't have an attic, you're still fine. just make sure to lock the doors and don't tell anyone (real-world).

I have a nice hot dryer in my garage...that creates quite a lot of heat.

ADF is good...but pricey. Is it worth it?

I wanna see pics of the garage grow! :D:D:D

Thanks, chi-town. It's only temporary, though. I can't seem to stick with an avatar. :( Check out my macro thread. :D:D

Thanks people for your input on this one, i guess a 400w HPS is not alot but having never run one before. Can`t wait to get started.
