Searching for advice for new growroom.....

Ive come to my senses and decided to switch to a mh/hps system. Ive got a small closet, 2x5x8, that im going to use. Im figuring 3-4 plants max. I just have a few ?'s

250w or 400w light....small space, dont want to over do it, plus it gets really hot here

vents....what size fan should i get for best air exchange

good filters....cant have the house smelling too good

as im in a non-friendly state should i vent into attic or directly outside, or other ideas

thanks....

36 views and no response.....i wonder what the record is?

I would go with the 400 watt light..If you could find a way to manage the heat get a 600..I use lumatek...I'd get a 4" 160 cfm inline fan and put 4" holes in the closet door. any real carbon filter would work fine if you can get it to fit....or you could run the tubing through your ceiling into the attic and put whatever size carbon filter on there...that's probably what I'm going to have to do with my portable air conditioner. I'm in a not friendly state as well...

im leaning towards the 400w... with the limited space in the closet there wont be much light loss due to dispersion and with that said i wonder if the 250w will be sufficient. still trying to save money. can anyone tell me if a 250w system would be ok for 3-4 plants? also should i look at ballister/reflector combo or a seperated ballist reflector? which is better? i plan to vent thru the ceiling into the attic, but not sure whether or not to vent it directly outside.
