I do have a window in my room that i could keep open with a big fan infront of it moving air into the room. Would this be sufficient enough or does anyone else have suggestions of what to do for this problem? My next question is Do i need a vegetation room and a flowering room? Or can i just keep them under the same 400w HPS for the whole time? If i need to buy another type of light what should it be? Well i will leave you guys with these questions for now and ask some more once Ive got some feedback on these.

Thanks in advance for all the help :thumbsup:

For the ventilation: The window idea sounds fine, If it's possible for you to keep the door on your closet open, you'll get plenty of fresh air. Make sure you include a circulation/exhaust fan!!! this is very important for not only pulling fresh air across the plants, but strengthening the stems to avoid bending.

For the two rooms... these will only be necessary if you are planning on vegging plants and flowering plants at the same time to increase rate of harvest. Obviously, you can't have two different light cycles in the same room.

The HPS will work for vegging, but is much more effective for flowering. If funds allow you to, I would get a Metal Halide lamp for vegging. some ballasts are designed to power both types of lights.

That should do it for now. Sounds like you have a pretty nice set up for your first grow. You should start a grow log! Lots of people would love to see your progress. Good luck :thumbsup:
