Heya Everyone.

I am sure you must get sick of all these posts but as a noob grower I need all the help I can get! I and hoping you will take a quick look at my proposed set up and point out any obvious flaws. I am fairly confident on the actual growing tecniques (famous last words?!?) but the hardware I am less sure on.


The closet I plan to use is is a little under 3.5ft x 3.5ft x 8ft. It is a brick structure with a concrete floor.

Lighting wil conists of a 400w HPS lamp and reflector: http://www.basementlighting.com/Merc...e=1/PROD/NFAS4 This set contains a multi spectrum lamp, is this really required?

Relay and timer: http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/...182&subcat=287

I'll pick up a multi speed fan from the local DIY shop.

Planning on growing 5 ICE plants: http://www.potseeds.co.uk/femaleseeds/index.htm

The plants will be grown on a raised platform to keep them off the concret floor and to allow for drainage trays. Maximun yearly yield isnt too important to me so I am not planning on splitting this space for vegatative and flowering compartment. Once the first batch has been harvested I will just start from scratch with cuttings.

I am wondering if the above lighting is over kill or not, would I be better using a 250W bulb?

I'm not too sure about ventillation either. Seeing as its a brick closet and quite tall will additional ventillation be needed in your opinions? It would be easy enough to open the door after work as this isnt any sort of 'stealth' set up.

Anyway, opinions and comments would be greatly appreciated and hopefully within a week or 2 I will be able to start posting my growing diary
