I need to find good equipment

Hellos all around.
I am going to build a grow shed and I need all the goods but don't know the good places to find equipment. I want to grow 6 plants and the shed I picked out is about 4 or 5 feet wide, 3 or 4 feet deep, and about 6 feet tall. I need a good 1000watt air cooled light, areoponic system(that I will build), co2 system. I know where to get all the little stuff but can anyone point me in the right direction for these products? I need to find all the parts to make a good areoponic system as well. For the odor controll I'm not sure what the best way to go is. The shed will be in my garage so being stealth is good but only when neighbors peek in when I leave.

Also, will the light be too hot for a shed even an inline air cooled one? I don't know if I should get and air conditioner or not.

I need some good advice for building something I have never built.:confused:

You have some options.You could go with a 600 watt digital switchable ballast which about the same output as 1000 watt light but uses less power and since its switchable you can run mh or hps bulbs so no need to swap lights just the bulbs. Maryland Hydroponics or www.htggardensupply are good spots to looks for stuff.Also ebay has great deals.I grab almost everything I use in my 6 plant or 32 site aeroponic systems from homedepot except sprayers, pumps and misters.

welcome to the forum. The first thign we gotta do is decide what it is we are going to do. If I'm reading all the posts right, you have around $3000.00 to invest, you have been convinced to build your own, but you have never built anything before. if that pretty well sums it up, you will need to post some pictures of the area you are going to put this shed in. Since you said it will be in the garage, you will have to have it well insulated. Do you already have some tools, like saws, drills etc. Who is going to do the electric, plumbing, air handling systems?? Do you already have the tools for that also??

no I do not. I was thinking of buying one of those sheds from Osh or Lowes. It's a rubbermade closet pretty much. Then just build around from there. I do need tools.
