Hey guys, 1st post. Hope you guys can help me
I was gifted a 400w HPS setup (Ballaste, Shade, and even a bulb). I am not sure I can use this because I cant make a noticable dent in the electric bill or my parents will start asking questions. What does it cost to run one of these lights 16/8? My grow space is about 3x3x6 metal box that isent air-tight but I am going to vent it with a 6" inline duct fan that I hope will suck enough air to make it low pressured so all the smell is out thru a carbon-filter and in thru the tiny spaces around the door. Since it is my first grow, I was thinking about something easy and auto-flowering like Lowryder 2. How is the smell with this strain? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to do my research before I start modifying my box. Ill get pics asap.
