Hello everybody, I've been a long time reader but this is my first post as I'm finally about to start my first grow! I am, however, having trouble putting everything together regarding growing with a tent and am hoping that everyone can help me out a bit with understanding everything I need.
First off, I'm looking at getting a DR80 to start with. I want to grow in a closet that is roughly 5' x 4' but want to make sure that this will work (enough space for everything needed)?
I'm looking at getting a 400 watt HPS setup as well from htgsupply.com as based on some other posts I've seen on the site it seems that they have the best deal. I'm curious as to how much heat this is going to generate though as there is no real ventilation in the closet (planning on leaving the closet door open) and whether or not I need to get set up with a cool tube and what is required in addition to the reflector hood itself.
I want to use computer fans and basically set up a DIY carbon filter to keep from having any odors as I do not want the smell to be an issue. Does anyone have any fans they would recommend for a setup like this and where I could find them? I'm also unsure how to get the fans and filter(s) set up in the tent and haven't been able to find much information regarding this as well.
My plan is to grow organically and my babies are Sativa Spirit which I will be growing from seed. I'm thinking that I could grow 2-4 plants in the space that the DR80 provides... is this correct?
Right now this is all I have been able to come up with regarding my setup, so PLEASE enlighten me on anything I am missing out on (not so aware of the ducting involved that I've seen in others' pictures).
Thanks to everyone in advance for any assistance you can provide!
