Hey All,
Like the title said, this is the first time I've tried this 'seriously'. Here are the specs and what I have obtained and what I'm thinking of obtaining. Any advice would be great! Pic is attached.
THANK YOU
Demensions:
H - 6ft 3in
W - 2ft
D - 2ft 8in
Not painted yet but I am planning on painting it flat white latex rather than hanging up mylar.
I purchased the following (in no particular order):
Honeywell TM005X Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermohygrometer
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EX83RU/ref=ox_ya_oh_product
4IN VORTEX INLINE FAN 172 CFM
http://www.horticulturesource.com/product_info.php?products_id=1578
And I am thinking of purchasing...
Sun System 2- 250w HPS-High Pressure Sodium Enclosed Ballast Mini System
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...w?ie=UTF8&qid=1252627145&sr=8-2&condition=new
My main concern right now is whether or not the 250w HPS will be enough. Should I go to a 400w or would that be overkill? Also, some basic ideas of the logistics of putting it all together woud be awesome.
My plan is to have the intake vent (which will be a 4 inch circle at the back/side/bottom of the box) be passive (no fan to suck in air). I figure having that Vortex would be enough. CORRECT ME IF I A WRONG. And then to have the outtake hole drilled in to the top ceiling (4 inches diameter) with a laundry venting hose connected to the Vortex.
Another concern. FILTERING. I saw a DIY on a filter but..... ya know... Lazy... So what would one suggest to purchase (not too much money please). Like no more than $100.00.
Thanks again!!!
