1/4 hp at least. any brand will do. i usually go with the one product that has the best warranty for the money. just google the brands and models ur looking at. the reviews will tell you if its shite before you buy.

yeah. find a brand you like thats good quality and stick with them regardless of name. buy for quality. if you dont you will regret it later when you have to fork out more cash to replace burnt out equip.

That sounds good Scooby. With 6.5' ceiling I don't need the bigger pots and I can grow bushes rather than trees. In other words, what you said, lol. I saw a thread on reflector and ballast comparisons it showed Luxor ref. and Micro-mole ballasts to be the best. Any words of wisdom on these products?

I heard the luxor is great but it's also like 2' deep dude. stick with the sun system blockbuster or cool sun. you are using 600w lights. you don't want huge reflectors. don't know anything about micro mole ballasts...LUMATEK is the only one I will ever use.

if it's pure veg then go with a t5 system. take up a lot less room; will reduce your heat and even mix in a bulb or two (depending on how many bulbs are in your fixture) of flower spectrum bulbs (2700k). that will give you a nice balanced spectrum for veg. plus, t5's are just fine for 3 week veg. after that you run into light penetration problems.

Hey Scooby! You still with us? Awful quiet, oh well, enjoy it while you can. Just read earlier post on this thread where you recommended the EcoFoil reflective , and if you want somewhat insulated. This stuff is great for grow rooms. You guys check it out, you can get insulated, non-insulated, perforated, non-perforated, and all with excellent reflective quality and gas tight if that's what you want. Read this mans threads; you will be eternally grateful.

Haha, thanks man. Kind of you to say. I'm still around. Go check out my thread Costa Rican Garden Show in my signature. I post there mostly right now. I also have a cool video in my signature of what I do in my spare time for fun. Working on a cliff diving video we made with GoPro cameras right now. Goddam YouTube won't let me use any of the music I keep laying over the footage. LOL.

After going over these threads for months, I've decided to go for it and build my own grow room. Scooby I would love your input. I've attached a schematic of the room I have available to grow. I will be growing organically using Sub's super soil. Ace of Spades is the strain I will be growing from clones. I want to get as much yield as I can. I have a 50amp subpanel going into the closet. The footprint for this strain using mainlining has been estimated at 28in in diameter. The three vents in the window are 6, 8 and 10" inches. So here is what I would like to know. I want to use the closet for a veg room. It is really small so I need to know the best way to utilize the space. I want to grow a perpetual garden harvesting 24 plants at a time. Using T5 lighting in veg room and 1000w Hps in the flower room. I could use input in lighting setup and also suggestions for reflective materials, humidity control, Co2 and waterproofing the floor. (I'm renting so tearing out the carpet is not an option.) The ceiling is 8ft tall. The light hoods will be 8in and air cooled. Will install a Carbon Filter 16x39 Can Filter 150 10in 1400cfm/flange. Also have 6, 8, and 10in max can fans. I will have pictures of the rooms posted by tomorrow. I'm sorry this post is so long but I wanted to give as much information as I could the first time around. Thanks in advance to anyone who offers assistance.

Hey guys, just wondering if I could get some advice for floorplan and such for my grow I am planning on.

Currently its planned for a 11x11x9 room with a window that will be fitted with a 15,000BTU A/C.
I am planning on building it from 2x2's and pandafilm.

I would like to incorporate a flower room, veg & mothers room, and a drying room into the 11x11 room that I have. Currently I am thinking a 5x10 for the flower, 3x5 for veg, and 2x4 for drying. I plan on butting up this structure to the window, so that the A/C is actually sealed within the wooden pandafilm "tent", and I am planning on running Co2. I haven't decided yet If I will have 2x 1000w or 3-4x 600w for the flower, but at least a 400 for the veg. I plan on having all HID's on closed circuits routed outside through a window.

I was thinking about building an undercurrent setup for flower, haven't came up with an idea for the veg system. I have 2 mothers in bubble buckets ATM that are about 1.5 months old, getting up to size for the grow to begin in the next 6 weeks.

I would appreciate any input as far as the floor plan and or any other aspects of the setup. I drew up this sketchup model for my current idea, but am open to ideas!

By shift rooms, do you mean an area to do trim work and such without smell leaking?

I'll try posting this here, instead of starting a thread for this.

I'm helping a friend set up a new space, no I really mean a friend. If you want to see what I've been doing, click the sig.

Basically dealing with an attic grow, we've pretty much narrowed it down to veg under fluoro's and flower under HID. The space overall is about 16ftx7.5ft, with a peaked roof, 44" height at the edge, 58" height at the center. Obviously limited on height, so we have to work around that. veg 4, flower 4. So far the idea is to have them all on skates/carts so moving is easy, and to have a 24x24" scrog net over them. The four flowering will be in-line, making the main flowering area 24" wide, 96" long and 58" high. I talked him into running 3x 400w CMH instead of 2x 600w HPS to cover that area, but I'm not as up on the "rules" of HID's these days as I used to be. I also suggested "CoolTubes" to keep the cost down. I'm figuring ~14" of space between the canopy during flower, and possibly hempy 5G buckets, but those are yet to be determined. Ideally not DWC, although both of us want to try it.

Main questions I want some input on.
#1: will 3x cooltubes in a line be an issue?
#2: what CFM would be required to cool 3 successive lights VS each individually?
#3: Anybody using a Lumatek with a CMH? (I need a refresher on fine details of the CMH stuff)
#4: BTU's, I don't know how many BTU's a CMH puts out, or if it differs from any other 400w HID.
