sounds like you got one hell of a setup coming together... i run a 600 lumatek. they are the shit. top of the line. but... the garage, thats is prime real estate for me lol. I dunno if i could ever give that space up for anything...hahhaa. I love my cars way to much. good luck man!
google earth and maps should be your start... that can save you lots of time trackin trails ans shit. know where your going before you get there. I have been using it to map out my areas, and you would be shocked to where im stuffin a few plants.
just took my first hand at cloning. took about 20. i think i might need one of those hot mats. its very cool in my basement. I had to trim my mothers, they were getting huge.
cooltube is the only way i would have the setup i do... the room size is 3x3x8. my exhaust fan is rated at 293cfm, and it runs 24/7. Im 3 weeks in flower and i smell nothing, and my plants look great. for my situation this setup works great...
god damn there are some high prices out there... i can get an 1/8 of beasters or good local outdoor for 30. 55 for a quarter. then the dank shit is 40-50 an 1/8....
