Hi, I am soon moving to a new place and theres a big closet 8.2 x 5.8 (the door is on the smallest side) , I would like to use hydroponic as my growing medium also it would be preferable to do it in a grow tent who dont use all the space so i can still use a part (maybe 2x5.8) of the closet to hide the tent with clothes.

I would like to know what kind of setup would you do if you where me..(lights, ventilation, hydro table size and more) i consider buying some used stuff, I will try to find something close to what you are telling me..

I did it only 1 time with a 400w.

I forgot to ask... in your opinion would it be better to have a 1000w light or 4 260w lights all in ventilated tube or reflectors.

scratch the 4 260w's. maybe gotnoname ment 250w . anyhow if you are going to use the whole closet use the 1000w. but id go with a 600 hps , who knows how the heat will be in there even with an aircooled reflecter . start with a 600 and go to 1000w after you gain some exp . you said you did it with a 400w before once , im assuming your new to this . i would just use the space for 1 thing only either Growing or clothes , buy a wardrobe for clothes with the money you save from NOT buying a tent :) you will need an inline fan 400cfms minimum. better off to just get a 600+cfm(636) incase you decide you want 1000w . get a 4x4 flood table , 50gal res and a can filter for odor and your set . a 600 over a 4x4 table will work . and a 1000w over it will work better , thats what i use and have never used a 600w. just saying that if you got with the 4x4 either a 600w or a 1000w will work . it just depends on if you want more yeild. any questions?

ok, so i should use the whole closet , now the only problem is how could i exhaust the air from the room without odor??

now i have a single 5 gal hydro bucket but in the 4x4 table what kind of bucket would be better if I want to have at least 16 plants, can you show me an example of a setup ??

just use some 2 gallon grow pots :) and use hydroton ,i was going to start with rockwool 2 yrs ago but i was told not to and to just go with hydroton . im glad i did. plus you can re use it . ive been experimenting with my 4x4's and plant numbers . ive tried 49 per table , 30 per table . last grow i tried 9 and was happy . also happy to reduce plant numbers. 2 out of the 9 had 3oz on them the rest 2 oz. and today ive got 7 on a 4x4 of master kush ready to come down . i like 7 plants or 9 i will never grow anymore than that per 4x4. less plants abit more veg time . bigger fatter dense buds . i will post afew pics few hrs and show you my table with hydroton. . . in your case your just going to have to expect AC unit during hot months . im in the basement and havent needed it but the hottest its been down there on hottest day was 86F for about the last 3 hrs of 12hr cycle. i wont be needing an AC this year . im assuming your in the upper floor of a house ?
