hey this is my first grow, its in a closet that is 19in wide by 36 long and its 7ft tall.
i have a 1000w hps with remote ballast for flowering. right now im veggin with one 23w daylight cfl per plant in a veg box.
i plan on having six plants in the flower room at a time, i will use 2 gallon pots stacked so there is 4 gallons of soil for each plant.
i dont have the hps bulb yet (got the ballast and reflector free
)so im not sure what kind of heat it will put off. the reflector has tube conectors. but it wouldnt work for a cool tube.
I think without the cool tube im going to run into some heat issues?
i have found some computer fans that push around 100cfm and i can easily mount these on the door of the grow box(its 16" by 5ft). i think i can figure out how to hook dryer hoses from the fans to the hood.
i have a few ideas that i need some help with
1. i can have one fan bringing air into the hood and one taking hot air out. these would be mounted on the top of the door.
and another fan bringing fresh air in a foot off the floor.
2. same as above plus one more exaust.
3. scrap the hood i have and build a wood hood i can use a cool tube with. i would put mylar on the wood to protect it.
id rather not do this because its goign to cost more $$.
am i on the right track as far as cooling goes? will this be enough airflow.
