Hello,

This is my first "indoor" grow. I live on Vancouver Island. Canada.
My 4x4x6.5 room is build in my unheated workshop. This is a Nov. To march run. Outdoor temps of below freezing to t shirt weather, West coast typical.

I have a 1000k HPS in a cool tube pulling through a carbon filter, passive filtered intake, exhausting to attic space out of a diy garbage can muffler.

Currently 2 girl scout cookies and one columbian superman which is a greenhouse love child.

Organic soil, worm castings, perlite, compost.

Currently week 2 of flower.

Popped some seeds in paper towel, and grew them for about 3 weeks in two stacked plastic totes with a 50W led panel from costco - which worked well.

Can't imagine it's getting warm in your room since you're running a cool tube setup, how are your temps?

My lights on temps are about 76. Or 24c
I run lights on ar night.
Lights out are 67 or 20c
i could probably run a bare bulb and increase my airflow but im hesitant to change anything mid run. The intake Sucks cold outside air i find i have to have my inline fan turned down fairly slow to keep those temps.
 
Ok lets get up to speed here,
When i first moved the plants out to my 4x4 room i had the light too close and gave them a bit of a shock. As you can see in the pics they look a bit ghetto.
I added my costco panel 50w for some blue. due to my lack of gear i vegged under my HPS.

Try and keep the heat contained inside of ur grow . That 1000 is a great heat source if utilized correctly, looks like u got everything figured out though

Yeah the tube and light were free from a friend, I was hesitant to try anythong but the cool tube with all the debate around 1k lights in 4x4. I Never considered it would work too well
I'm quite interested in the automated humidity and temperature controllers, like the Sentinel Evac, or a fan like the cloudline that has one built in, it would really make life much easier
