Hi again, no problem

You might have to wait a little more than the advertised 2-3 weeks for flowering, so I've heard from others who grew autos anyway.

Yeah those 400 HIDs with the built in ballasts will definitely give off too much heat in a space that small. You have plenty of light with the 300watt cfl, the 250 HPS would slightly reduce your bill but because of the heat you will probably end up sticking with the CFL.

You can hang the fan on the wall, but you shouldn't need a fan. I think you will have enough air movement within your room. You should worry more about making sure there is always fresh air going into the room. With an intake at ground level and exhaust at the top the plants should get enough air.

I flower with a HPS light because I have a 3ft x 3ft area which needs more light. I veg with a blue CFL though, 200 watt, and it works really well. It's not really the bulb that matters, more so the lumens. The 200 watt CFL (12,000 lumens) would give me 1300 lumens per square foot in my flowering room which really isn't enough. I haven't got a camera unfortunately, but you can expect some big buds. In my opinion fresh air flow and light are the two most important things, and you have plenty of light and you should have plenty of air
smoketoker Reviewed by smoketoker on . New Grow Room Advice Hey Guys, I am planning my first real grow room setup. I would like to run things past you guys who are a lot more experienced and can guide me better. So, let me start by explaining what I have, and want :-) Basically, I just want to be self sufficient.. I smoke ~ 2 - 3 oz a month. I have seen these autoflowering strains which allow seed - bud in 8 - 10 weeks, great! I can grow a handful of different strains, for 2 months and get enough to keep me going until the next crop. Or so Rating: 5
