I originally had the set up in a closet that had less sq. footage, tested the 1000w'er and the temp seemed to stay steady around 84, now keep in mind i have also changed my ducting from 4" to 6", added a 16" oscilating fan, added a second intake, and have more sq. footage in an area that is concrete on 2 walls and of course the ground, that helps keep temp levels down as well.

Although I am a lil curious about what the temps will get too when I change light cycles. Less time on though, and from what my Electrician buddy says, " Mh get hotter than Hps", but the Hps is also 600w more than the mHalide. I guess Ill find out when the time comes, but if it gets too hot, Ill spring the extra $35 to get another exhaust fan.

Oh yea, I also made this homemade 8" carbon filter. Havent used it yet.... no smell. Got the info from... of course http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs...on-filter.html

Here are a few pix!

killfrenzi Reviewed by killfrenzi on . *Under The Stairs! Whats up all! I am on my 3rd grow and now finally have some decent space to grow some doja. I have recently purchased a 400-1000w switchable (Mh\Hps) ballast and air-cooled hood setup, $311. A 6" inline fan (540cfm), and about 5' of 6" ducting, $50. a Grape Ape clone and 6 seeds of unknown strains. I am growing under the stairs, typical household stairs, so I am growing at the highest point for the entire process. I am using FoxFarm OceanForest Soil in 16oz party cups for the seeds, Rating: 5
