Considering a first grow / some questions
Thanks for the continued help! I stopped by both HDepot and Lowes as suggested but found a limited selection.
---Lights---
I found a limited selection of lighting fixtures, all the ones that held more than one linear bulb were at least 4' wide. Also, only Lowes had any T5 bulbs (HD had T8 and T12), and at neither store could I find anything over 32 or 40Watts.
There are some sellers with complete grow sets on ebay though. Would a 2'x1' 4-T5-bulbs set work for me? The bulbs look good for veg growth (8000lum, 6-6500k, good?); how important would be getting a new set of bulbs for flowering?
How safe would buying on ebay be? Should I plan to use a prepaid card and ship to a friend's place?
---Filters---
I found a 4" inline circular duct fan (also 6" and 8"), at Hdepot, and a some bendable metal ducts. I suppose I could press one end almost flat and slip it under the door of the closet. Would 4" be enough? Is there an air-flow rating I should be going for? Do you know how those are powered? The fan just had 3 loose wires coming out. Do I need to get something to convert that to a normal 120v plug?
Unfortunately this fan did not have a filter, and there were no carbon filters at either store, only "electrostatic", and all of those were square, mostly very large in a frame. I did see a cheap pack of small "electrostatic register vent filters". Could I buy some of these, cut a 4" diam. circle out of them and place them in the vent (or something like that)?
Thanks again for all the help!
