Sardonic said:Random99, when you say "anyone that lives around you will definitely be able to tell", do you mean neighbors too ? The plants will be growing in the garage where there is one window. If it managed to reek in the lower part of the house, that wouldn't mind me one bit. but if my neighbors can smell it, then i'll definitely be taking your advice ^_^
thanks again everyone for helping me through this. I love this place

thank you for the advice ^_^green_grow said:o.k. ... you said you have "a few" closets to work with. if you are planning something more than just a personal grow, no problem, but if you are planning just a small personal grow then all you need is 2 closets ... 1 for vegging/mothering and 1 for flowering.
each cabinet has 4.5sq. ft. of floor space, so based on the fairly well-accepted figure of 50watts per sq. ft you will need a 250w hps in each flowering cabinet . vegging cabs are a little different, requiring less light. many people just use standard cfls for vegging . 4 x 23w cfls would do just fine in your vegging cab.
also, in each cabinet you are going to need an exhaust fan because these lights (even cfls) create a lot of heat .
