Hello all, and thanks to very interesting and informative threads, I am about to embark on plans for my closet.

Background on me- grew a few times outdoors, one unplanned from a spur of the moment placing of a good seed loosely in soil in my backyard in a spot with good sun yeilded a very nice organic 10 node dwarfed plant (I pruned as per info on HT website), failed teenage indoor attempts.

the space- approx 28x28x8ft

the planned purchases-still in flux but here's some ideas Ive had-
1) mylar on all surfaces
2) possible two levels with a light controlled lower level for flower/veg and an upper clone/germination level. if not, then whole closet for veg- clone outside in a homemade box using HO flouros.
3) combo 2 250 hps/mh lamp or single 250hps tube using a mh 250 in veg, then switching to hps on 12/12- was considering a vented tube- should my ballast be external?
4)ventilation via a hole in door upper (intake via fan and charcoal filter combo-refillable) in baffle for light seal) and lower (fresh draw from air pressure from upper).
4) rainforest 6 pot aero 21 gal resivior
5)ph test strips to start or 200+ dollar combo meter
6) c02 - want to use possibly a natural method to start or maybe a tank system that wont break the bank.
7) seed bank strain in the indica variety, possible NL2 or Herer if I can find em.

I dont want the whole budget to go sky high on first yield (although if first yield is greater, I can re-coup some of the costs. I would like to start by a/c season and supply cooler air via bedroom ac draw through vent system and keep the power drain relatively low given my estimated needs on light to space ratio- I think this is somewhat a good plan.

Side question- if I get the aforementioned equip/strain, what kind of yeild would I expect if my total crop is kept in the 3-4 month range? Can I start the light drop at approx 14-18" after a 2 stage prune?

Also- if I scrog would this be a better yeild to space ratio? And from what I have read it seems that scrog should occur at around 12" or so, bringing (training) the nodes through for a period of a few weeks before the light cut.
