If ventilation is not an issue then get the HPS, yes they plug into a wall outlet and power draw should nor be a problem. Hopefully you have enough money for a scrubber or a lot of people will know your growing lol. Also I would not super crop an auto.
I have a window for venting lmfoa that's it, my room gets hot as fuck :/ and people know I grow, it's no secret hence why they kids who stole from me are stupid as FCC! Lmfao and well autos seems to live when I let them and super crop them, don't know why I've had such luck.

Supercrop your autos early and they'll thrive.

When you're ready for LED, this website is the very best place to look for them.

600W HPS is simple, cheap and proven. It's just not efficient.

Ive just read the hps isn't good for small closet grow is all, my buddy switched to led and it made his grow a lot better; but that being said I've only used cfls to grow indoors. I'm going to get both, my SO is going to lend me one of his hps and I'm going to grow two strains under it, then with my led grow the same two strains and compact the differences. Hear is my biggest worry and power outage. I have a tv in my room I need on at night to sleep; insomnia and sleeping disorders shit.. so I have only the one outlet to use, basic plug. I do belive that the hps would be great, but I'm a person of trial; so I'm interested to see how this will go :)

I won't get a cheap led thoigh, I'm getting one with warranty and good - amazing review plus visual videos and swing my friends closet grow with sog, I'm impressed lol
I'm using an HPS in a 3x3x72 and it works good u just need to circulate the air well .. Also get a air conditioner to keep things cool in the room and u will be ok ... HPS from Vivosun with timer and inline fan with ducting is like 250$ it's an air cooled hood so that will help with temps

So most know my garden was shredded by scalpels and immature people who don't know what they're doing.found bits and pieces of immature bud around my yard, scalpel and a pack of gum.. lucky I found pieces I can clone, hopefully..

I usually post in the outdoor, but not I'll be growing inside this winter so I need a little help.

I am on a budget, growing outdoors is was cheep and indoors is the complete opposite of that..

I have space for 6 autos or maybe 4 decent sized plants like my outdoor ones. I'd like to get the outdoor size, indoors..

Any help would be appreciated, I'm going to grow an auto regardless, so I just need to know what would be more beneficial to me at this point.
Also, I have a few clones at 8 months old from my ..once was plants. Ugh so mad. But moving in and need a little help to do so.

(I'll post measurements of my closet when I'm home)

So anyone who has done a closet grow in about a 4x4 space maybe more again haven't measured.. can list what they did to start out, moy lighting and placement, ventilation; I am pretty wise for my age, so I also have my own research to do and have done. I know I'm looking at those t5 lights, my neighbor used them and loved them.

Just depressed and want to get back on the horse asap :)
That's a healthy attitude, being reactive never leads to anything good.
Good luck with the grow.

Yeah I think I'm just going to have to keep my window open and my fan going, I'm at my rents house, saving money lol so installing anything in my room would be a no go except what I was allow which is lights and ventilation but we take our air units out in sept. :/ as long as I get good air flow, I should be okay? But again I always have a laptop and tv running in my room. I shut it off in the day when I'm a teenager work, but at night I'm worried it would be too much electricity for my room idk lol heat and power outage is all I worry about now. I'm going to test my SO hps and see how hot it gets or heats the area, if it heats up more than my tv I'm screwed lol my house is warm as fuck and my room doesn't help being small and everything. :/ can't wait until jan when I can use my green house I'm getting lol I'm an outdoors person for sure :/

I supercroped two about two years ago and left two alone outdoors and the two untouched produced almost double so I never tried it again :( may try it again with next summers auto's

dollars to doughnuts the led if plugged into a kill-o-watt would read around 200-250 watts. I have seen fantastic grows with blurple leds but not many manufactures put the real wattage. the bml spyder 12 (don't know much abought them sience they merged with fluence) did the same job as a 1000 de hps on 864w
blurple led 2.4 umoles per watt hps 1.9 umoles per watt
find a cheep 315 cmh. my shop has them for 240.00 I'm sure you could get one cheaper online.

Back in the '80s my first time growing with HID I had a 1kw MH in the closet of my bedroom, with the door always opened. No Problems with heat with only a window and box fan. 600w should be no issue. I do recommended a dog, though. If people know you grow, they will come inside to get your shit.

Right now I have a uv lamp and a hid lamp for my clone of blueberry lmfao funny thing is, with my plants I had, they were grown inside with a cfl, a uv, and a hid lamp. All 9 plants lol under 3 lights, not big lamps. But they thrived for sure; I am going to get a light that produces as little h at as possible, that's the need. I don't need to simulate the sun indoors, but I need them to grow lol and since I know that they grow under what I have right now, I'm going to probably look around The hid section hehe or led because again life is about trying :)

Also, most getto shit I bet you've ever seen lol but this is how they started last time.. why not do it again while waiting for my light to come in :)
