Please help me out people

1. The space only needs to be about 2 or 3 feet taller than what you want your plants to be when they're done flowering.
2. No, you won't burn your house down by plugging it up that way if you have it plugged in right.
3. You can regulate the temperture by getting about 2 intake fans and at least one exhaust fan. Also have a fan inside blowing on the plants to keep the stems strong and for extra coolness.

Thanks bro how close can the light be to a 400w bulb? Any idear on what fans (i.e how powerful) i'll put 2 on my intake fans. should they be computer fans? the cuboard is quite close to wear i sleep so need to be hush hush... saying that i'm always smoking to sleep lol

Now I have a reflector from my first grow which I'm guessing is self ballasting. Is this adiquit for a 400w HID AND HPS? (I really don't want to burn my house down!)

That is JUST a reflector and fitting ( and in my opinion a very expencive one ) and will NOT run a 400 OR A 600 Without a ballest unit connected to it ... It looks like a good one ... but i can asure you that a cheaper one will do JUST the same job

http://www.hydrohobby.co.uk/product/euro_reflector/.... you can flower with this with a large CLF Bulb ( your wattage prefrence )

Then connect a BALLEST unit to the REFLECTOR ... and add your Osram bulb to flower your plants .

Hope that helps

and throw all your clothes on the floor like we do haah ... Dude trust me ...you do NOT want to put clothes in a room with 7 flowering plants ... the police will be just following you home with your clothes stinking of weed

Well Already have the reflector from last cfl grow was only 125 will just connect the cfl as extra light for underneath. So the ballast plugs into the reflector? (I know stupid but i will only ask once). Cheers for the advice oh yeah and i plan to use the 125w cfl for seedlings and the HID for veg and the HPS for the flowering and keeping it in a air tight grow box with two intakes at the bottom and the carbon filter and inline fan for outake into my roof.

lol

So yeah ... if the reflector states it can handle HID's & HPS ( Most can ) your all good ... you plug the ballest into the refelctor power cord to use the higher wattage bulbs ... And as you allready know ...No ballest needed for the CLF's

Good Luck and have fun

It says its silent ...and that can be a good point ... But from what im told ... sealed poly units like that can get VERY hot ( If you have it in your grow space it will push temps up a LOT ) Your going for 400w right ?.... I can recomend a vented ballest ...might hummmmm a bit more when first fireing up ... but the vents will help keeping it cool .

And this one a bit cheaper .... but like most things ...you get what you pay for .

My one is a couple of pounds cheaper for a 400w and i think i might mount it outside the box. thanks for the help

Yes you can use computer fans. that's what I'm using right now and they are working PERFECT! They work great!
