if you mean soul op as me doing this by myself yes. i dont even have a ac unit in the room i just vented the house ac into it directly behind a fan and close out all the vents to the house. temp is no problem but co2 and venting is! i run a 6 in inline fan 24 hrs a day. i need to turn it off to let my girls consume co2 i think i will achieve this by lowering the ac temp for 20 minutes and trning off the fan. co2 is a pain in the a$$
I thought I wrote soil op... guess you know what happened there
After I thought about it I was wondering about the co2. I thought he has to have vents so how is getting the results from the co2. (not really seen anyone discuss this to my liking...)
Those plants have some nice size on them how long they been vegging?

they been vegging for almost 8 weeks now. yes its a soil op lol. i have them on a mixed feeding schedule (a pro gave me his recipe) 
anyways, i have 2 lights a 1k MH and the reflector is a LARGE adjust-a-wing and the other light is a 600 MH medium adjust-a-wing (this must be the best light ever!) i can keep this light with a super spreader 10 inches above my girls and they dont burn. i also have a super spreader on my 1k set up and its about 20 inches from them whereas i had a sunsytem hood for venting and if it were that close it would burn them instantly, on top of that it weighed like 30 pounds when the wings weigh in at like 5 pounds lol. i've got two wall mounted fans in there for air circulation. Now the co2.... i have the a/c from the house vented in there and i rewired the thermostat and ran it into the room so the temps stays at the right temp day/night.i put a bag over my exhaust vent and turned it off and the thermostat did its job. the plants were able to use there co2 and i turn on the exhaust every 25 min for 8 minutes. FEEL FREE to ask me anything you want but im not a pro so i cant answer alot and also FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG OR HELP ME OUT! I'm trying to get at least 10ozs for each girl as you see i doing 7 big ones instead of 100 tiny ones!

ok so here is my update with pics.. this is there 9th day flowering under a 1k hps and a 600 hps. the co2 problem i had is gone i tweaked the room so it wouldnt be a waste of co2.. I have a question for you pros, can i take a clone from a flowering plant if it still doesnt even have buds and can I take a clone that is in the flowering room for 8 days now which has become root bound in its little pot now going into a 5 gal pot and put her back into veg to use as a mother plant? The pics of the clones im talking about is the last one.. also look at that leaf what cause this? ph i beleive?? it came from the bottom of the plant that gets no light as well. I really do see the need for cfls in between the girls!
