the max i can get is like a 2x2x4 . . & it has to be kinda stealthy .
& Thats what i was thinking but idk anything about making a right box for a HPS like ventalation etc etc and what i need

if you want to grow enough to keep you stocked then perpetual will have to be done. now your talking multipe hps due to high plant number. you would have to harvest every few weeks.

theres many ways to hang them. are you electrical friendly. if so look up diy cfl hoods. they have alot of people using pvc to make them, or buying 3-5 bulb vanity fixtures from lowes/home depot. if you cant wire, then its the ghetto way ( my way haha)
