Hey all, I've been growing outdoors for many years but I have been reading some of the threads here (particularly some by DrBudGreenGenes) and I'm pretty impressed by the results people are getting in small spaces. I didn't even know that people were getting results like they are before I stumbled upon ICMAG so I'd like to give it a try!
I have a small closet space available which I'd like to convert into a small stealth cab running some kind of SOG setup. My dimensions are 36" width, 36" height and 24" depth - by my calculations this is 6 square feet. I have a small space behind the closet (under a stairway) to place a small carbon filter, so the dimension I listed above will be only for flowering. The clones will be supplied from a friend when I help prune his indoor show - no need to keep mothers in here.
I'm thinking of lighting the area with either two 150w HPS bulbs or 7 42w CFL's - either will give me around 50w/square foot. Given the small space, I'm worried that the twin 150w HPS bulbs will give off too much heat and I'll need a bigger fan, any comments?
I also plan on building a mini stadium in the area, so I can get a bit better light penetration. Any comments?
Thanks, looking forward to learning as much from you guys as I have in the Outdoor Forums!
