Grow room design, help needed.

Hi there, 1st off I'd like to say, great site! Most helpful growing site I've joined and the community looks superb.

Anyway I'm a first time grower and I'm needing a little help designing my grow room, I'm considering doing a SoG grow in my closet. The closet it split down the middle into two sections, both 4ft long, 2ft deep and 8ft tall, with a cut off section at 5ft. I plan on using both sections for flowering clones under 400w hps lamps.

I've got about £500 to spend on equipment. My main worry is the smell as I'm planning on growing a good few plants, how can I get around the smell?

Also, as said previously I plan on flowering under a 400w HPS lamp in each section of the closet, but how do I get around the heat issue? Should I use cooling tubes, if so how do they work and how effective are they?

Here are some pictures of the left side closet I intend on growing in. (the other side is an absolute mess! )





Any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers.

You need an exhaust fan with a good carbon scrubber. That should take care of any unwanted aroma. Nice space you have there! Good luck growing.

I would suggest a nice light hood with exhaust inlets, an exhaust fan, small carbon scrubber, small ocsillating fan, and little determination. With those items you should be able to make a nice grow room.

And if you can put the carbon scrubber outside the room that will help with space and heat. Try putting vents low to floor for air circulation.

Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated! I'm hopeful I can get my grow room functional within 6 weeks.
