HELP!! Quick question about my grow setup.

[stephen94]

ok, ive got a 3x3x3' area, and im thinking of splitting it into 2 sections, one for flowering and one for veg, i found a website, www.e-conolight.com with some pretty cheap lighting. I was thinking of getting a 400W HPS for a 2x3' area, and a 250W MH for a 1x3 area, lights coming to a total of 215$. do you guys think this would be efficent, or should i go with bigger lights, note, that their is no venting but fans no tubing and filters and shit, just good ol' simple micro growing. so like i said an area 2'wide x3'deep x3' high with a 400W HPS for flowering and a 1'x3'x3' for veg with a 250W MH, i am on a budget here, and i just want to know if my setup will get results, THANKS!

Way to much light without venting IMO. You'll be running a little EZ-Bake oven there.

And if you have a ceiling of 3' you need to look at how tall that 400 HPS is because by the time you figure in a pot and the light you are going to be left with what - 1 foot growing space? That light will fry everything ASAP being inches away.

Think florescent lighting.

I dunno i run a 400mh to keep my mothers alive and i have the light really close.My 400 doesn't put off much heat.You will def need some kind of venting for that space though and if your not using c02 you def need air replacement.Plus you are gonna build alot of heat without it.Amd with only 3 ft of room height your almost gonna have to do a scrog.

i was thinking of keeping the 400HPS in the 3x3x3 area as a bloombox, i was going to build a seperate clonebox with the 250W MH in an old kitchen cabinet or something, that way i have more room for bloom and a completely sep clone box, u think this is better?
