its now hard to build a system yourself.
you can also save a substantial amount of money if you buy lights etc used off of craigslist.
are you planning on growing in soil or hydro?
i just built my first grow area.
i learned a lot from my own mistakes.
people often forget the little things when you ask for advice on this site.
probably since they have been growing so long they forget what its like to be a rookie
send me a message if you want to chat.
ive already been drawing up plans for my next grow box based off my mistakes from the first.
id be happy to share.

why dont you send the hot air into the rest of the living space?

or you can always suck cold air from the outside and blow it on your bulb.

i suppose as long as you had that fresh air from outside coming in it would be ok.

sounds like the tent might be the way to go for you.

but 1200 bucks seems expensive.
ive never been in the market so i dont know what those things go for.
my set up is all like DIY style.
i got a bunch of shit from the hydro store, but i got a lot of shit from home depot and orchard supply/ace hardware.
some of the stuff i use in the grow room i found in alleys in my city.
like my tables are just milk crates that i jacked from the local safeway.
my buckets were sweet alleyway finds as well.
i built a wooden frame to seperate veg and flower in one room with wood i found in the alley as well.
except for one piece i bought at home depot.

I used to grow in an apartment closet (2'x4'x9') and had serious temp issues venting into my bedroom and having to use that same air. 12 hours of hot 400w HPS light really warms a room up haha even with a cool tube going. intake and exhaust do much better if they arnt sharing the same air. But it is do-able (i pulled 1/4p - 1/2p each grow with just 2-6 plants in that tiny ass space).
