Hey all advice advice is more than appreciated.

Hey guys I am not a new grower but I would not consider myself a veteran either. My new setup is going to be a 6x6 area with 8ft ceilings. I'm building the inclosure inside my bedroom. My inventory consists of: 1 four foot 8 bulb Maxlume T5, 600w Hortilux Super HPS inside a Cool Sun XL reflector by Sunsystem, "Rocks" by SunLeaves, BlueLab PH pen, 6in high output inline fan with carbon filter, Root riot, Rootbastic, Bloombastic, Hygrozyme, SuperVit by HESI and 6 top feed buckets. My questions are: How to keep my exhaust from being obvious? What should I use for my one part fertilizer because I want to use something other than HESI hydro growth? Should I use the T5 for VEG or will HPS do a better job? Also please give input on my inventory and suggestions to make it better. Thanks guys

  • Should I use the T5 for VEG or will HPS do a better job?

    I use a 4x54W Hydrofarm T5 for 4-6 plants...AFAIK, my plants in veg have looked good as or better than anyone elses: nice, thick, green, short internodes....
    argument being: 216 Watts vs 250-600 for HID over a 4x3 area...the unit cost right at $100 bucks If I recall​


 
Ok thanks Socko. I will go with the original plan and use my T5. Any ideas on hiding exhaust? I was thinking maybe I should point a fan at my exhaust to quickly cool and spread it.
