Ok I have done a shit ton of research and I have a few questions remaining before I get to work on my growbox. I am about to build 3 cabinets stacked ontop of each other(clone,veg,flower). I am planning to use a 250W MH and 4 cfl's (one for each wall in box) for the veg box (S.o.G style) plants will be in a 4wide x 3deep x 3.5high area with a cooled hood. 40-60 top plants in 5.5in squares that will be transferred to flower when they are around 9-12in tall, they will remain in 5.5in squares even while flowering. Some people will try to flame me and try to educate me about the 1ft per gallon container B.S but I have seen someone do a massive SoG with over 300 plants in a 10 x 10 area, so dont waste ur breath arguing me over the size of my containers :D

questions for veg box
1. If I go crazy with cooling my hood, roughly how close can I put it to my plants? I am trying to push those puppies to 1ft as FAST and efficiently as possible and I have the money to spend on equipment to do that. (I am actually getting a cool sun 400w HPS for flower, it has a airtight glass covering the reflector, for ventilation purposes.)ww
2. For ventilation I was wondering if something like this would work. (DETAILED PIC)

For my clone box its going to be 2x2x1. Going to buy a small floro tube fixture for this, but my questions is, how many watts for 15-20 clones? And what method of clone watering is more effective, foilar water feed every day and cover for moisture/humidity. Or do I just put them in tray with 1in standing water and saturated soil, changing the water every day, no cover?

Also what is peoples opinions on earth juice? My friend that used to have the 300plant sog 10x10 basement used it and got impressive buds but that doesnt mean it was the EJ so tell me what you think. I am going to use promix with 20% perlite. Foilar watering every day, foilar feed every 4 days. Will water soil when NEEDED only but how often should I feed them liquid ferts?
