I went out and bought a 400W HPS system, balast and fixture are seperate. I was told this would be enough light for a 5ft by 5ft flowering room. Is this accurate? I have yet to build my flowering chamber I have enough 2x4s and OSB board to make a 5x5 flowering room and a 4x5 veg chamber. I already have enough t5 lamps for good veg. A few questions that have come up are. If i use the black 6mil thick plastic will that be sufficent for a "light proof" wall and for the doors?

Any tips would be helpful. Also any good information on how to run my fresh air intakes and my hot air out ducts? I am growing in the garage that has no enviromental controls (ie no heat in the winter, no ac in the summer) what kinds of things can i do to help make this grow room keep a steady temp. This will be my first grow with a HID light. And i am very nervous i dont want to cook my plants.
