Whats up everybody....i have a extra bathroom tht is not used so I was thinking about putting the space to good use :)....its 2 ft wide by 5 ft long... Thinking of put mylar around the 3 walls (covered with tile) and using panda film to cover were the sliding glass doors are attaching it to the ceiling and floor and in the middle cut a slit for a door way and attaching magnets to each side so it will stay closed...i will put a peice of ply wood to cover the tub so I can get more floor space...tht being said my height is 7ft at tht point....i will put a exhaust fan uptop in the corner and a intake fan at the bottom corner..for lighting I will use dual 250's considering cool tubes....but if its not needed I wont buy them...im planning on running a sog op using 6" aquare pots...4 per sq ft using ffof soil and ff nutes and I will lollipop them...i have a bagseed thts been in vegg for about3 days in jiffy pellet but the leaves didnt spread out yet??? (input) im waitimg for it to get bigger so I can take a clone n force flower to determine sex...i also received a pack of purple power seeds from a buddy of mine who purchased them but he's about to have a baby so he does not see the need for them any longer...im also looking at purple berry diesel from attitude which looks like sum funky stuff :)...

Welcome aboard the journey of mine any input or constructive criticism is more than welcome

There is no doubt 35-40 plants will over power your entire house and your neighbors. besides 35-40 plants ina 2x5 bathtub is going to be seriously over crowded. I would do 10 (optimum sog) up to 20 plants max in that space. With your small area, being a bathroom, get yourself a 1 gallon jug on Ona, place it in the bathroom, it will probably eat up majority of the smell and depending on the temps in the bathroom and what not, expect that 1gal ona to last up to 6 months. Not bad for $45 investment.

If you live in an 11000sqft house you should get 2 400's in air cooled hoods and buy a moderately sized carbon filter. You can get set up for about a thousand dollars. Then no oddor issues no heat issues and you'll have more fun with the slightly larger lights. Go for it bro, sounds like you have an awesome situation :)

I would run air cooled hoods and vent them into the exhaust for the bathroom. You probably won't need an intake fan because the exhaust van should provide adequate negative pressure. I would also recommend 1 gallon smart pots or air pots instead regular plastic pots.

In ur opinion dule 400 wouldn't be overkill in my 2x5 tub...im putting ply wood down so its more of a rectangle n gives more floor space..im deff looking at cool tubes and a carbon filter

I would rec upgrading to the 400's it isn't over kill as long as you can handle the temps with ventilation. If you vent out the window make sure you use a good carbon filter so you aren't advertising your abundance of good weed. Also make sure it is fitted air tight to the window.
Air pots and smart pots allow air through the pot to air prune the roots so the roots get less root bound and don't circle the pot which makes a healthier root system in general.

I havent checked for studs yet but do you think theses lights would be to heavy to just screw into the ceiling? The lights plus the duct work....and ill attacht the outake fan with the carbon filter to the ceiling aswell n just duct threw the panda film to the window....im thinking about building a box to place aaround the window frame to attach the ducting to so its airtight...im trying to exhast the room every 2-3 min so im adding a nice size outake and carbon combo

Yea I think they would fall out of dry wall. Even if they don't it's always possible that they will over time ruining your almost finished crop. Otherwise sounds good.
