Setting up a 4x4x6.5' 12/12 Chamber Grow Room, help needed! thank you <3

(First grow, going all out on the lighting! yesyes! lol)

Complete soil grow with 2pts Peat Moss/ 1pt Vermiculite/ 1pt Perlite soil mix

10-52-10 nutrients for seedlings after first transplant from biodegradable cup thingys!
20-20-20 all-purpose fert for veg stage after first couple weeks of 10-52-10.
15-30-15 flowering fertilizer for flowering stage (they're all water-soluble blue stuff I bought from Canadian tire...Plant Prod Ultimate)

Room Specs:
4'x4'x6.5', made out of 2"x2" wood completely, planning to staple mylar/poly around it.
Sunlight Budget Gro II 1000W HPS
Valueline 6 Inch 435 CFM Centrifugal Inline Fan



and finally! the questions.

Fan/Lighting matchup: I'm trying to maintain good air flow and also make sure my 1000w isnt burning my plants in such a small place...I realize its overkill for a 4v4 but the price is so good! is my selected fan enough for the job?

Odour: since this is my first grow I'm wondering what is recommended to control the odour.

Ventilation: do I need a fan to blow air in, and one to blow air out?



Thank you very much! I'll post some pictures as soon as my tent is done! I've got 16 Purple Kush seeds in germination right now and I have some T5's for veg I should be ready before they're ready to bud

1) yep

2)carbon filter

3) make certain to have ur valuline fan air cool the bulb and vent out away from tent. it will keep temp down nicely

is it necessary to have a reflector with a fan attached or can i settle with a regular batwing and attach the fan nearby?

You are going to want to air cool that light in such a confined space, I would go with the better reflector with an extraction fitting connected to your fan.

New Specs (changed the reflector n bulb)

1 more question.


My grow is in my bedroom....top floor of my 3 bedroom house, I pretty much sleep with the plants, figured it'd be good for both of us lol.

(I'd act as a CO2 generator breathing...im pretty damn big so I'd probably outmatch one)

and they'd make me fresh bud tasting oxygen! cant get any better than that.


My QUESTION is.....sorry for the ADHD my minds movin a million miles a minute since I started planning this

AM I IN DANGER OF BEING DETECTED BY THE POPO?

Always. Never get too comfortable at anything bro. better safe than sorry so go that extra mile to stay safe. Not trying to scare you away or out of growing at all.

Would that extra mile be the aircooled reflector? or is there more I can do to mask the heat signature? I want to create the most potent bud possible, but I'm not tryna hoop an 1/8th where the sun dont shine to try it in jail LOL

Security can never be taken for granted. I know somebody that ran his extraction fan into his dryer vent so that the heat signature looked somewhat normal. I tried to tell him that the heat is at the source, which is the 1000 watt bulb light itself. Grow safe - Grow quiet! shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
