this looks great... I am posting somewhat randomly in this thread... I am about to get back into the swing of things after three years away from it. I thought that I would post in a thread that was active with strong growers in a similar situation to me.... however, I think that I will have two 600 W's going.. but it is early to say...

impressive stuff all!

I dont have any holes on my closet, i Usually leave the sliding door half way open with a floor fan blowing in from one side, i can feel the air coming out out of the other. My temps stay 3 degrees higher then the room temp. Oh, I alson put up some curtains so I wouldnt be exposing too much light.

I also have that ventilation problem. They way I rig it is by having a fan blowing up top (screwed to the roof or wall, or set on a high desk above the light) pointing out of the closet and keeping another fan on the floor pointing toward the plants in the closet. Keep the door open too. Since hot air rises and cold air sinks the fan up top is blowing out hot air while the one on the floor is blowing in cooler air. Works good for me :2cents:

also not sure to grow a single plant in say a 5-6 gal pot or cram in as many 1gallon pots as i can,as i have about thirty ready to go if i take this route. any body ever compared yeild using a single 400 and these two methods???????????

your talking meters right? unless you wanna veg 1 plant for a long fucking time go with 1 gallon pots and fit as many as you can. u could also do 4 plants in bigger pots and tye the branches back. i've tried them all, all work ok, it's just the veg time with fewer plants that suck.

well i get em like 40-45cm in my veg cab under grow lamp extreme blue lumin 18/6 about 2n a half weeks from bein g potted after rooting,then i was gonna go to 1 gal when i flower. is that a bit too tall to be flowering using that method since the 400 prob wouldnt penetrate a canopy that deep???
