dont bother with foil, either flat white paint or mylar. you only need a 4" fan. Use floros for veg and hps for flower. dont swich the lighting in the flower room. root under the floros in the other room then harvest teh last cyscle and swich in the new clones, veg for about a week and flower.


hydros simple get a continer that fits your area wel put airstones at the bottom and cut holes of netpots at the top. Get the ferts and ph/tds meter mix up the fert's and from then on just top off with 1/2 strenght ferts. Then just change the rez every 1-2 weeks.

Think tall for your box. the biggest concern with grow boxe construction is heat. My advice is to build or buy a tall type cabinet..that way you have plenty of vertical space to raise the lamp and/or vent out heat.

There are advantages to flourescent lights, but if you can go with the HID's go for it. HID's rule.
again, in a grow box, if you have a 150watt hps, and you are gonna add a 150 watt MH, the heat from the MH will not be worth the lil bit of light it gives.
if it (the box) can handle the heat from both those lamps, then put a 400 watt hps in there and be done with it.
I know alot of folks will tell you that a MH is the best all around light, and that flouro's are the new compleat spectrum grow lamps, but man, I'm just speaking from my own real world experience.

I root clones with a 150 watt MH. I grow with HPS.

alright now i'm confused. what lights should i go with? how about 150w HPS with a couple say 40w flos to add some color to the spectrum? by the way, this cab will only have one chamber, alternating between vegging and flowering.

I'd use the HPS. Veg a female or two and cut her into several clones. root them under the flouros, the 12/12 with the HPS for a nice full lil garden.

you can keep the female mother plant alive in another grow area under flouro's or a small MH, or you can cut her down completely, when you take the clones, and start new seedlings if you like.
