I finally have the funds in place to get the ball rolling on my closet grow. I am ready to start purchasing in about 2 weeks, I just need to nail down some final details.
My room is about 5' x 3' with an 8' ceiling and a shelf at about 5.5'. I plan to hang the light from the shelf, and use the top side for the inline fan, ballast, etc. I was originally looking at a digital ballast 400 watt hps system, but I think I have decided on the 600 watt just because of the low difference in price. I plan to order as much as possible from htgsupply just for simplicity.
For the fan, I was looking at the Tjernlund M-6. The manufacturer is claiming 530 CFM w/ 0" static pressure. Can I get by with one fan to cool the light and run the carbon scrubber? I would think so, because 500 CFM is alot of air to be moving. I dont want to put too much strain on the blower though..
In any case, here is my basic rundown of parts so far:
Digital 600watt grow light - $263 with hangers, timer, and euro reflector. High Tech Garden Supply
6" in-line duct fan - $120 New 6" Inch Inline Exhaust Cooling Duct Fan Vent Blower - eBay (item 280278994464 end time Jun-18-09 12:00:00 PDT)
Temp/Humidity Controller - $155. My plan was to use this to keep the fan running on an as-needed basis. Should I save the $150 and just let the fan run when the light is on? High Tech Garden Supply
Carbon Scrubber - $90. Can I use this with the in-line duct fan I am using to cool my light? High Tech Garden Supply
Mylar for the walls and white poly for the floor - about $55.
Electronic soil tester - $25
Digital thermometer/hygrometer - $15.
And of course the misc ducting, soil, nutes, and wiring.
All in all I hope to spend under $1000. Is there anything I am missing?
