That is exactly the worry with little head-room.
Under 4 feet you are REALLY limited:
-hydro is out since the equipment itself stands minimum 18" off the floor, unless you do a res OUTSIDE the room and have an active return to the res rather than depending upon gravity
-large plants are out because of not only their stature, but the root ball needed to maintain them.
You say you are doing a SCROG- many small plants or few large ones? Root ball/pot size again.
You have some options:
-Buy rooted cuttings from a reputable source and just run SOG under a hps600 (pushing it for that space but it depends how bad ya want it)
-Find a second grow area where you can maintain a soil mother under 24 hours of light and take cuttings off her
-Consider a t5 flourescent grow using a pair of 4' x 12" fixtures mounted right up against the roof of the space, or even 3 or them, or a whole mess of shop lights with t8 'daylight' bulbs- my buddy used to veg under a canopy of I think a half dozen shop lights mounted on rails- it was indeed bright, lol!
-build a freestanding grow tent with more head space?
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Has anyone? Greetings all. Has anyone had experience growing in a 4x4x4 box with 1000W HID in an air cooled hood reflector (with glass)? I've been reading and reading until my eyes bleed and can find nothing. I'm kinda stumped on ventilation. Thanks for your time. Peace and unity. Rating: 5
