First off, love this site. Been reading for about a month and ready to dive into the world of growing. My setup is going to be in a closet roughly 4' x 6' x 8' H with a 2' x 3' scuttle hole in the cieling that goes to my attic.
What im wanting to use: I want to cover everything with mylar.
Im looking to use a CAP Nextgen 400/600w HPS/MH Digital ballast. (any one have experience with these or similar?)
Im getting clones.
My questions are:
I plan on doing 6 plants in either 3 or 5gallon pots and if I use a 400w for veg and a 600w for flowing....
1. Can I take out the attic cover and this keep temps low enough?(it will prob get to 100 F outside. I planned on gettin some of that black/white plastic stuff to make a "door" so i dont have to close my closet untill the lights go off. I plan on getting 2 4-5 inch oscilatting fans to keep the air moving.
2. Will a dome like relector work? or should i get one that i can attach a duct too, to keep the area cool?
3. If i get a dome reflector could i just run a duct from my return duct to pull air out of the closet. Also if I got a reflector with the duct attachment could I just use my return air to pull air out instead of buying an inline fan.
