Ya man, I have a 5ft by 3 foot open closet, so im going to wall up the 4ft opening, and leave a 18in, doorway into it. then i can run all my exhaust and stuff right up into the attic, with hopefully a homemade carbon filter scent reducer so my sister in law doesn't happen upon the glorious scent. As for the strain, I'm undecided. I dont have any bag seed. So I think im just going to pick up some clones from a person.

Personally i think clones are the best way to go as they save alot of time.

Hey guys I just bought a 250w hps off my buddy yesterday. I'm growing outdoors this summer, but it is a brand new still in the box HTGsupply he was selling so cheap I couldn't pass it up. Right now I have 7 plants about a week old started under T8 fluoro tubes that should be ready to be moved outside in a couple weeks. My question is is it even worth it to set up the hps just for a couple weeks? I want them as big and as healthy as possible for the first week of May, so if it is really going to make that much of a difference I'll set it up, if not I'm just gonna hang on to it. I just finished college and will hopefully be moving off on my own soon so I bought it just to buy it. He only charged me $50!

As I said in the other thread you made specifically for this question, you will need some ventilation to use it
That thing throws out a lot of heat and you cannot rely on the heat to just rise and dissipate
It will not be worth it if you don't get proper ventilation because you will fry your plants to a crisp

You will hook it up to the exaust for the grow tent. You shouldn't need it hooked to the cool tube since this will only go threw the light vent not the grow room. Hope this helps.

Just got my 250w hps cooltube on ebay. Excellent quality construction. Great deal. Came with everything u need. I hook my carbon filter to one end of the tube and connect the other end to the exhaust fan. Cleans the air and cools the light. I too am growing in a tent.

Well I was up my uncle's house watching a ball game last night went the topic came up and he said I can grow in his basement. There's plent of room down there and it stays nice and cool even in the summer. I knew he smoked but I didn't think he would be down with it, but he seemed pretty excited about it.

So now my question is to you guys what would be a good strain for a first timer? I have a thread about it at

https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/322553-best-strain-first-time-indoor.html

if anyone would like to check it out. Thanks.

I have a 4x2x5 tent with a 4 inch fan and filter and just rely on passive and it works great. There is definitely negative pressure in there because the walls all get sucked in a little.

I have my tent in a room that is air conditioned. I keep the room at 72 degrees and my tent stays at about 78 with the light on and 72 off.
