    Anyways, I am thinking about going indoors. I have some moderate experiance in outdoors but recently lost a crop to some rippers. I'm tired of dealing with it so im going indoors.
    So, I am starting from scratch and have a closet to play with. Main problem I see is ventalation. This place is rented so I can't poke holes in the wall. I've been reading some and most people are probably going to tell me to use something else for a space, but space is limited here. It's this closet or nothing. I'm in a mobile home, so my space is really limited. anyways I was reading one of M4n14c420's post about his closet grow, but he ended up putting holes.
    also for lights what would be best for me. I want to use Cfl's because of the bills. my space is 42'' wide, 22'' deep, and 83'' from floor to roof. I was thinking of using 2 125w ultra blue spectrum 6400k Cfl's. I'm not sure what would be best for my space though. will those lights bring me through veg and flower. Like i was saying before I have some experiance but none with indoor. I'm really heart broke about losing my babies and I know the only thing thats gunna make it better is another batch. This time keeping a better eye on it. I'm not that money rich... i'm trying to stay reasonable. The smell isn't gunna matter much because no one comes here, and the land lord minds his own so its all cool. as for soil, I live on the east coast and fox farms isn't available, ill probably just use some organic store bought? anyways all info will be helpful so just let me know what you can do.

    Okay, so I want to use a 250w Hps lamp for flowering. I was looking at some budget units, that are pre-assembled. are those any good? I'm still renting so i wouldn't wanna mess with the wiring in the house.. and maybe im just reading wrong but seems like ill have to with most ballasts... anyways all opinions would help. Thank you all!

    Go a google search for "hydro huts", they are a little expensive but from what I've read they are really well built and I think that would suit your need well.

    Those lights sound just fine, but your gonna want to train the plants since they don't have the best penetration (through the canopy).

    I wont have room anywhere for it... I was really just wanting to use the closet. I was planning on using LST so that works. i was thinking about using a box fan with the door slightly ajar, just have to close it for dark period

    Sorry man didn't know you wanted to run intake/outtake through the door. Look up "darkroom louvers", they will allow air to pass in and out, but stop light from leaking in. This might help if the only thing you want to change is the door. Good luck bro.
