I've lined the walls and floor, and lightproofed. I've also installed a locking knob. I'll be putting in a 12'x12' passive intake (darkroom vent) down low on the door. Also, I was thinking of pulling air through a charcoal filter, pushing it through the light, and then out of the closet through a vent at the top of the door. I won't be using co2 so I'll probably just run the fan 24/7 for now. Is 600w hps in a cool tube or nice a/c hood with a 400+ cfm fan going to be too hot, or should I just stick with 400 or 430w? Does anyone have any comments or questions, or see any potential problems? I also need to know what joule rating is good for my surge protector for this type of setup. Thanks again for all the info.:stoned:
Thomas Magnum Reviewed by Thomas Magnum on . help with first closet construction Hey all, first time poster here. I've been soaking up some really good knowledge to help me on my first grow. I'm working with a pretty small closet space approximately 2'x4'x5'high. I'm wondering if I can exhaust this space, and keep it cool with one fan for exhaust and a passive intake with an oscillating fan running constantly. I'd like to go with 250-400w hid hps. I saw that home depot has some 4' inline fans rated at 40-80 cfm. Would something like this be sufficient? How often does Rating: 5
