I'm too fortunate for my past disgressions,I never had to consider growing in enclosures so I havent a clue.I've looked in and figure its about reflectivity,security,environmental controls?But if you can put an enclosure in a room,why not utilize the entire room?I've had some odd responses to that one or maybe it just seemed odd to me.Maybe tonight it'll become clear.I love when that happens and it's been happening to me alot lately.Hydro huts sound like a mongo enclosure,is it environmentally controlled or sumthin?

its pretty easy to control temps and such, plus I think its a lot easier to control lighting and ventilation. Plus I don't have the option of venting into another room or outside I just have to vent the cab itself

I use to veg with an hps in my c13, but one thing I noticed is they really stretch a lot . the mh lets me veg for about 6weeks while keeping the height manageable 12" - 14".Plus it saves quite a bit of electricity. my hydro hut mini is big enough for me to put another daystar ac . I could run both side by side and duct both hoods inline


question for you man.. after you duct that air out of the hut, do you PUSH into a carbon filter? Im going to have an identical setup but it would be nice to keep the cool tube clean from carbon dust with your method. thanks.

I use to veg with an enhanced 400 mh that goes into the flower stage for the first two weeks. After those 2 weeks I use an enhanced 400 hps. By using the mh 2 weeks into the flower stage, I get sativas that produce almost the same but endup being 3-4 inches shorter.

I want to get a MH for various reasons. I would like a strong veg light so plants grow good. I also want a more natural spectrum and MH will add that. I was looking into conversion bulbs where it has both spectrums. Those might be worth looking into. The prices are alittle steep but they are probally worth it.

The MH conversion lamps are shyt,especially the venture whitelux,it has alot less lumens when compered to my 400w solarburst super MH which has a richer spectrum ,so i use that to veg with and a solarburst 1000w super son-t to flower with.
