Instead of forking out loads for an ozone generator why dont you grow a strain of lowryder? You can get very potent strains at soul seeds! The plants are really stealth and there is virtually no oder!

Well exhashsmoker I did consider that but the thing is 10 beans of Low Ryder costs like $50. Not only do I not have a safe place to have the seeds sent to but I don't want to spend 50 bucks on a strain that's probably not gonna yield as half as much as my bag seeds would since I'm pretty sure they aren't Low Ryder. As of right now I'm using a bag seed because it's my first time actually aiming for a harvest. I've had plants before so the start should be no prob but I don't want seeds that I paid for to die because I made a beginners mistake. I have been preparing for this every since I began smoking but reading and experience is two different things so I'm gonna just try something free until I get the real feeling for it..Quote:

Hopefully the enclosed ballast wont be too much of a heat issue lol. I still have a lot more stuff to get but instead of ordering it all at once I just ordered what I need to start off. When it arrives I'll probably set it up and see how hot the light gets. If heat is gonna be too much of an issue though I'm probably gonna wait until summer gets here so the a/c can be on more often and I'll probably have some fans by that time. If heat doesn't be too much of an issue I'll probably start the grow as soon as I get the light.
By 'enclosed ballast' are you talking about the lights with the ballast attached on top? If so I had one (my first light) and it was too hot for the closet. I had to set it up in a shed. Also, they are very heavy and extra caution needs to be in there when hanging it. We all have read about growers having their light hanger break and fall onto their plants, eh? I'm just afraid you are going to have heat problems having your ballast inside the closet. I believe you will need to go with a remote ballast as the heat from the bulb will cause you enough heat probs and the added ballast can only add to it...or put your grow in a place that has better ventilation.
Fuck. Maybe I'll get two fans. I can't hold this off and I have to do it. And I have no where else to do it. Those fans are gonna have to work :p.
Have some type of ventilation with intake and outtake of air. The plants need that. As for odor, they sell those little odor neutralizers in hardware stores and shit. I would put some of those throughout the house during budding or whenever it starts to smell up bad. I hope that helps you. Good Luck. I'm gonna be growin outdoors so wish me luck too.
I don't mean to sound pissy but like I said one million and one times already I can't provide any type of ventilation. The only thing that can work is either fresh air from an open door including the fan. I'm pretty sure it's true that I won't necessarily need all that for 3 plants..as for the odor I'm still working on that. Still no solution. I'm tired of fuckin lookin and it's really startin to piss me off. I wish a fuckin solution would just fall right in front of me or something fuck! :mad:!!!Quote:

Air King 9" 2-Speed Oscillating Fan
yea orangeman it would be alot easyer on u with the temps in there with a ballast outside the room because they do put out heat i hope u grow sum bomb good luck
Well that can't happen :p. Like I said I'm gonna have two fans and I'm thinking about having one on a stand so I can always level the fan on the center of the plants and I'll probably mount the other fan upside down (lol) blowing directly on the ballast. A million people can tell me it's not gonna work but the fact is this. I want my damn homegrown and I'm damn willing to see if the fans will help before just throwing the idea off from a "possibility". I just have a good feeling about this, I know it'll work :).
I hope it works for you dude! I am in almost the same situation and I am going to grow with a few monster 125w CFLs just for that same reason (the heat issue in a closet) I have read many threads about cfls and I have found with correct positioning and a litlle tlc you can turn a cfl closet into an excellent grow room with no worries about heat!And you can keep the door closed...your gonna lose loads of light by leaving it open
