How many plants should I grow in here?

I am going to be using a 400 watt MH and a 400 watt HPS, i also plan on trying the scrog method of growing becuase I am going use seeds that i brought home from Jamaica so I am assuming that they are 100% sativa.

I was thinking 2-4 would fit in there I just don't know if I have the room for the pots in the bottom. I figure I can probably get 2 good sized pots in there.

Would it be stupid to grow 2 plants in the same pot?

Dude, not true. You counted the two fans in your budget and those would not have come with any coolable reflector that you would have bought. So you came out way ahead. Where did you get those fans? cheap as hell. I need to get one.

I was gonna suggest that you put mylar in the hood, in my last post, but I wasn't sure if it would be too close to the bulb and be a fire hazard. Not sure though; what do you think?

I think the mylar would definately be too close in there, the steel is shiny, and it is surrounded by a batwing reflector so there should be no issues there.

I got the fans at the local home depot, as well as all the other supplys for this hood. It was pretty simple to make, just took a bit of planning.

I have purchased some carbon filter insterts for the true air carbon filter for your home/bathroom. I am assuming that if i put these filters in the exhausts that it will kill the smell....but i dunno, i may have to build the other one.

i havnt tried scrog yet so coulnt tell you but the 100% sativa indoors is pretty hard i had a friend do it and he had to top his plants many times due to height restrictions being in a sub tropical climate ive seen pure sativa 8 or 9 feet tall be careful

Looks good man.

Only thing I can see that is bad is the Mylar is all crincled up.

I would try and shove 6-8 small strain plants in there like an Aroura or White Widow and concentrate on Main Stalk Colas for your yeild.

You could do the mylar nicely with some double-sided tape.

I'm still thinking that two lights in there would cook food, but I haven't seen an update in months.
