^ well that sounds good, I actually have a bit more then 300 but I want to do it for around that price.
So I'm wondering if those carbon scrubbers will completely eliminate the smell or what? that seems to now be my biggest concern with setting up a grow

smell should be your largest concern about the grow because if you don't cover it up, you will get caught sometime. A carbon filter used correctly for a given volume size will totally eliminate odors. If by some strange reason this doesnt, an addition of ozium or ozone like generator, will.
If I were you, I would build a mini hydrohut that is large enough to hold four 5gallon buckets. At about 30" or so, I would have a chicken wire fence that is parellel with the ground. This is called a scrog and you will see amazing results with 4 plants under a 400w with this method.
edit: note about carbon filters. Whether you choose to build your own (its not that hard) or buy a prefab from the internet, make sure your fan is not too strong. The air moving through the carbon filter should remain in contact with the carbon for at least 0.1 second. You can calculate which size fan you want to use for a given size room and from there determine the size of carbon filter you need.

^ I was thinking of using that stanley blower and modying it to be used as an air extractor...
I'm not really sure how to do all those calculations... But i've seen them being done Its just that I lost the link
Do you recommend I buy my light first or my hut?
Ahh

I would buy them all together. The only way to really know if a setup is going to work is by putting it together and going from there. You should be able to get away with a 400w in a hut using a cool tube or the like. A 400w does not put out significant heat and if attached to a fan will directly leave the hut.
The stanley blower will work fine. you can buy others that directly bolt up also.
Try to find a local hydro shop you can go to. I hate ordering shit on the internet. I'll dig up the link with how to do the calculations for the carbon scrubber later.

thanks derx! you are a god ^_^ i think ill just go with that setup with a 600hps and a 400mh going, and build a hydro system while im at it, i know a good plan for an ebb and flow system i can build for about 100, or should i go with a DWC for sheer simplicity?
hehe i hijacked ur thread seal =P

I dont have much knowledge or information on hydro. Sorry. I do suggest going hydro over soil though.

this is the plan image, ive modified the plan a bit to a: allow more than one plant on the reservoir and b: have larger plant pots it basically just requires a timer, plant containers, aquarium pump, reservoir, and tubing and i could literally go to home depot and get everything i need

and i could build a couple of those systems, but im leaning towards DWC because its WAY simpler, cheaper, and it wont kill my plants if theres an extended power outage i could basically build a dwc out of several large wire strainers and rubbermaid bins then all id have to get is some air pumps and a ph meter and id be sittin pretty
just curious, would perennial plants (salvia) do well in DWC?
