Please help with new growroom setup.

I have decided that once my current grow is finished that i want and need to build a new grow room/box.
My current one works fine while it is nice and cold outside, but once the temps start warming up it simply gets way too hot. I currently have a gutted out fridge in my garage. I dont mind spending the money to get a good setup, but i'd like to get others opinions and suggestions before spending the money. I'd also like to somehow be assured that heat wont be an issue before i go buying all the parts. I'm not needing super stealth, but semi stealth works fine. I have gotten lots of good help on my existing setup and am hoping for the same with the new one.


I am thinking that a small grow tent inside my closet would be stealth enough. I can hang clothes, etc around it to conceal it. Doors will be shut anyways.

I plan on buying the basic bubbleponics 6 planter kit. I know i could build it cheaper, but i really dont have the time or tools to build one. http://www.stealthhydroponics.com/product.php?xProd=329&xSec=60 $139

I was thinking this light would be the best for a small setup, but i am concerned with the heat it may put out.

If that light would be too much of a heat issue, then i was considering going with this one that you can get with the bubbleponics kit. http://www.stealthhydroponics.com/product.php?xProd=120&xSec=3

Any suggestions on the heat/light issue? I keep my house about 75 during the summer and around 68-70 during the winter.

For the grow tent i was looking at one of these 2 http://cheaphydroponics.com/store/grow-tents/homebox-xs-portable-grow-tent/prod_626.html http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=54611
If there are any other suggestions in a similar size range i would appreciate any suggestions.


I'll be growing the autoflowering strains..no more than 4 plants at a time.


Thanks for any help you can give. If there are any plug and play type setups that include all the above for about $500 or less i'd buy a complete kit.


thanks RIU community!!!!

Ok You have a solid setup there. I looked at everything and it all looks good. If you are not going to air cool the light then go with the cfls. If you are going to air cool you mine as well go with a 400w for the same price as a 250. I would just up the size of everything personally. 600w switchable ballast, 4X4X7 Tent, 400+CFM fan, aircoolable hood w/ lense. I think ebb and flo tables would be pretty cheap, 3X3 table, w/ res and pumps.

i plan on air cooling the light. Was gonna get one of those 6" to 4" reducers to come off the light and then use one of those 4" inline fans to exhaust the hot air out the tent and up into the attic(if its that hot)
I thought about the 400 but i imagine that puts out a ton of heat and uses a bunch of electrictity. I dont really know if they do the flir images around here or not..dont even know fi they could tell if i vent into the attic..same with electricity usage. That tent size is the biggest i can get and still have it fit in the closet i want it in.
