Help with these dimensions pleeease

[smokey.mcpot]

I have a nice sized storage area that i'm cleaning out, i have some ideas but i wanted to hear other ideas too.

The room is about 4 feet tall, 3 and a half feet wide, and 6 feet long. For the lights i was thinking maybe 2x250 watt something like this. (from above)

_______6ft__________
|>>>>>> air flow>>>>|
|+++[]+++++++[]+++|3.5 ft

Another question i searched on (but never got a clear answer) is whether it would be more advisable to have an intake fan with fresh air from outside, or indoor, and is co2 required?

any help is appreciated

im currently in the middle of turning an old bunkbed into a grow room, with your exact dimensions.

money is an issue for me right now, and im going with 1 x 600watt HPS, and can easily add another 600 next grow.

as for co2, im gonna buy one of those "co2 boost" buckets, which in small rooms like this, i think would be a good investment, but NOT a nessesity imo.

CO2 is required, a CO2 generator is not. You vent to get rid of that nasty oxygen and replace it with CO2.

I'd advise against allowing outdoor air into the box unless it's intakes are well filtered. There all kinds of bugs that would love the enviornment in your box and, with no predators to keep them in check, their population and damage to your crop could explode.

Maybe you should line the area with reflective paper. I was thinking the white side of Christmas wrap. There tons of the stuff around here.

ya reflective mylar was very likely.

2x250 is a little under powered i would look 2 2x400w or even 2x600w
tried the co2 thing with a genrator in my sealed building found i got better results for the buck just to use fresh air
mylar or flat white paint would be best for the walls
