Thanks for all the info, shit helps a lot. I'm going to look into that for sure. The girlfriend loved the idea lmao.LOL - well, yeah the electric bill goes up, but if you check around on lights and get the best bang for the buck (I like the 600W HPSs for flower and T5s for veg) with min. heat the "product" will pay for the light bill many times over. People coming over? No biggie if you are doing a closet grow (that is unless your guests have a habit of peeking into your closets). Smell? Get a carbon air filter system going, and you won't smell a thing. Our carbon AF duct is routed into the water heater closet (closest availb. vent thru the attic) which is then routed outside via a vent on the roof. The heat for the HPS light goes out there too (inline fan to keep closet cool). I've sniffed in and around the water heater closet, and that carbon filter does such a good job you can't smell a thing. Cheap DIY filter too...hubby made it from some old leggings of mine, carbon, and about $20. bucks in hardware items at the Homie D (Home Depot). I think the "Growroom and design" section of RIU has several great DIY filters you can look into. They DO work!
The only downside I can see to a whole room set up is being able to keep the "veg" lighting set up from affecting the "flower" lighting schedule on the other side of the room (IOW when they're in 12/12 you can't have any other light filtering in at ALL otherwise they revert back to veg.)
I think the best bet for me is going to be two separate closets...one for vegging, clones and seedlings, and the other for flowering.
& Yeah, that is a big downside to using a whole room. Unless you have two to spare, it's difficult. Using too closets instead has a lot more pros then cons. I was thinking of vegging in a tent and flowering in the closet.
