Ok guys and girls, here goes the story.
I've recently moved into a converted loft apartment and the only available safe space is a built in cabinet measuring 3x4x3H (ft). I plan on doing a Violator Kush scrog with a hydrogarden dual-flow set in flood and drain with hydroton and a 6", 420m3/h RVK fan with filter and can vent in/out from the eaves. Also have a 250w security lamp with changeable MH/HPS bulbs and a removable tempered glass front and a seperate 600w Lumatec ballast and HPS with a powerplant heat-shield and an oscillating fan for inside the cab. I've used all this set-up (and strain) before but in a larger area.
I want to cut a hole in the top of the cab to match the security lamp, veg with the 250 MH, switch to the 250 HPS for the 1st 4/5 weeks of flowering, then remove it, leaving the tempered glass over the hole and switch to the 600w HPS to finish. I've worked out i can keep the bulbs about 16" away from the screen and change the air in the cab about 5x a minute after losses.
Reason for the 250w for 4 weeks of flowering is my electric is on a coin meter which the landlord empties monthly so want to split the 600w usage between 2 months so it's less noticeable
Anyone think this is possible?
