Hey farmer fam I’m getting my girlfriend set up with everything she needs to start her first grow. Her only option is the basement tho and I originally was going to get her LED light like the SF1000 or something similar but I feel the temps down there are going to be cooler than we want even tho it’s about to be summer. So help me out here and tell me I’m on the right track or give me some pointers. Instead of the LED I figured I would go with a 250 watt CMH and running a sealed environment to help keep it the optimal temp ranges. Also light distance could be a factor bc I don’t know the optimal distances for these bulbs. I thought since I’m doing that I may as well try some type of Co2 device like the exhale bags or the bottles. Do this sound like a good idea? My grow space is a lot different and I’m able to run LED and be fine temp wise. It’s a 2 by 2 by 4 tent so would that light be ok to use or will it make it too hot? I could always exhaust air instead of running it sealed if I have that problem tho. I feel this option will be a must for the winter time but how about now as the summer months approach (Chicagoland area). She’s gonna be running autoflower strains. I use LED so I don’t know much about the other bulb light options. I want this to be as cheap as possible I can’t be using two different bulbs for veg and flower so wuts the best bulb I should use for this setup and does this sound like a viable option?
