Whats up everyone this is my first post, so please bare with me. A buddy gave me a 400watt light with the ballast separate from the light itself. Im looking at purchasing a 47.25" x 23.5" x 5'5" foot grow closet, the secret jardin DR120W.

http://www.greners.com/grow-tents/brand/secret-jardin/secret-jardin-dark-room-grow-tent-dr120w.html



I have three questions.
1. is this big enough? Its my first time and i dont know how wide plants usually get, especially indicas since thats what ill be growing since im limited on space and they dont grow as tall. I might try using the JOG method or cutting the top internode. Any suggestions or tips here would help. If this isnt big enough any recommendations on a tent close to this size?

2. What fans should i use to vent/exhaust this to keep it at the perfect temperature.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

What are your plans for heat management? You cant just hang a bulb in a room and blow air on it.

Start thinking along these lines:

Stolen from someone on this site I can't remember who.

Bonzi my light isnt enclosed. Its an open one with the ballast separate from the light. I plan on having two fans, one to bring cool/fresh air in, and one to exhaust air out and add a carbon filter. I just would like to know what fans would be sufficient to air this sucker out. Also on average how wide do indicas get? What would be the best method of grow for this size space?

Try LST'in and topping,
id prob add another fan thats pointed directly at your plant
so it can grow a tad stronger.

You need to invest in a cool tube / vented hood, that room is designed for it.
