I am setting up a closet grow box that will be about 45" x 12" x 36". I plan on using MD and HPS lighting and will vent into the attic through about 1 foot of flex. I'll be growing Snow White in soil.
I have three questions that I could use some help with:
(1) How many plants are suitable for this size box and in what size containers (3 gallon)?
(2) What size MD & HPS bulbs are suitable for this size box?
(3) Should I buy fans now or wait to see how much heat is generated by the bulbs and then buy the appropriate sized fan, or does it not really matter because a timer will control the fans and regulate the temp? If it doesn't matter, what size fans are good for this sized box?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I have two seasons experience growing outside (1 plant last year and three this year), but this is my first attempt at indoor.
