Hey guys,
I'm a first time grower and am setting up my grow cabinet. I have been pooring over the forums to try and find answers to my questions, but they are a little specific
I plan on Making a 6ft high 2ft long 2ft wide grow cabinet out of wood. I am putting a door on the front. the cabinet height is high because when I climb out of poverty and the plants are good to go I'm going to attach a 6ft high 4ft long 2ft wide flowering room to put my 600w HPS in. I am torn on a lot of things, the first of which is lighting. Should I go with the 400w MH for $119 at High Tech Garden or put a ton of 125w and other smaller CFLs in (still for the veg room)? If I put the CFLs in is it recommended to make them mobile ? I feel like venting the HID light would be a pain, because the cabinet is already in my room, and its the Northeast in Winter so I can't get that much fresh air in the room.
The second and third are about venting. I'm planning on pulling fresh air into the cabinet with a 70 cfm fan near the top, With the hole drilled into the left panel and exhausting it through the bottom out the back, as I read this is recommended. Is just the hole sufficient or should I put a fan in there to help exhaust it? I need odor control, how should I rig a carbon filter and on what hole? Does this plan sound good to anyone, or does it need improvement?
I will continue to pore around the forums to look up answers. Thanks for anyone that feels like answering!
