Hey all,
I'm going to set up a vertical grow up in the Northeast where it's pretty cold most of the year. I won't be growing indoors during the summer, only Fall/Winter/Spring.
I'm not going to be running too big of a show, likely either three 600w bulbs or two 1k bulbs.
The grow is going to be a stadium style grow in a room (as opposed to being inside a tent). My question is, given the cold climate and the fact that I won't be growing in the summer months, do I really need a full blown ventilation system or is good air circulation enough? I envision an upward facing fan underneath each light, as well as 3 or 4 other fans around the room.
I'm a renter, and so I really don't want to be cutting holes in walls and shit. I could set up an exhaust fan in a window, but the window isn't at the top of the room. It's a legal state, but I also don't like the idea of putting an exhaust fan in the window or side of the house, especially in a freezing cold place where everyone struggles to keep air in during the winter.
EDIT: I don't plan on using any hoods either. This is my first indoor grow so I'm going KISS all the way. Lights, fans, timers, ballasts, and dirt. For smell, without a complete ventilation system, I have a Vaportek which I've used while drying outdoor crops before and it's great.
