I just finished setting up the flowering section of my grow room. Here is the set-up

ENCLOSURE Sunhut 4.5x4.5 grow room- I really liked this as my enclosure because of the reflective walls, black out ability and ease of hanging my lights and duct work. I know that the hydro huts had some chemical in the plastic that caused the plants to die. I have not heard of any problems witht the sunhut brand... have you?

EXHAUST Vortex 6" Powerfan- 452 CFM. THIS THING IS LOUD!! But, it sucks so much air out of the sunhut that my girls leaves are constantly fluttering around from the passive intake flaps on the bottom.

LIGHTS Sunsystem Yeild Master 2 w/ 6" air cooled reflector and Sunsystem 1 600 watt HPS ballast- I'm HOPING this is enough light to accomidate 6 plants in my 4.5x4.5 grow room. I don't think the room can handle much more lights without having to install more cooling systems.

I am using a 270 CFM Free Air Flow Can-Fan to run the intake into my lights to cool them off.

I bought the Control Wizard products thermostat, is this a reliable brand?


I can't take pictures of the inside until tomorrow because it is night time for my girls right now, but they will be up soon.

Also, the room is staying pretty consistant at 82F with the lights on and ~77F with the lights off. Is this too hot with the lights on, and if so, what would be a good way to cool the room.

I am a COMPLETE newbie on this and am relying on biology and chemisty knowledge to learn about growing something completely new to me. ANY advice would be AWESOME!!!!

Concerning legality and the smell, I am a medical marijuana patient so the carbon filter was going to come with my next paycheck. But for right now, I love the smell of the house :) I know that although it is legal, I could still get my stuff stolen, so I do want a carbon filter. The one I was looking at when I got the room was $133, does this seem high?
