I thought of building something like a giant bat box around a window and will probably build one soon, adding a hinge for opening window.
U killing me smalls! bs shit right there!...
Son im sry to say this but your going into turn 3 like Dale Earnhart.....
Heat and air flow are your main concerns. You're not going to do very well with a tent in a closet. You'll do okay during veg but when it comes to flower the heat is going to get you. What you want is good airflow from the bottom and heat out the top. Maybe you should just put that tent in the room.
Well there are ways around it, but it cost $$$
Okay Chief then you are good. Don't even worry about putting that in a closet. Use a good tent bigger is usually better simply because you can actually get inside there and work. If money is not that much of an issue I would definitely buy high-quality lighting. Investing in some type of air conditioning system would be one of the best things you can do,heat is your biggest enemy you want to have the ability to maintain consistent temperature right where you want it. As far as smell goes carbon filters will help a lot but they are not going to 100%eliminate odor. But if you have a smaller size grow you should be okay. Good luck my friend there are lots of people on here that can walk you through the whole thing. Happy growing!
central air is excellent.. If you are comfortable, they are :)
The thing about LEDs is you can actually wind up creating just as much if not more heat than in hps. I would stay away from 5 and 10 watt LEDs personally they are the least efficient and produce more heat. And calculate your wattage to square footage at around 50 Watts over killing it can create too much heat. I like to use multiple smaller lights instead of one huge one. Plus once you get up and running if you decide you are maintaining your heat okay you can always throw in another light. 3 watt LEDs are the most efficient and coolest running. I like to use cheap panels on the sides to help with penetration I will attach a link for those. Everyone has their own opinion but the reality is if you want quality bud you need to keep those Temps way down with no hot spikes. During Veg it's not a big deal. In my opinion I would always opt for quality of Bud over quantity. But you are right a lot of thought needs to go into it before you buy anything. The last thing you want is to wind wishing you would have bought different stuff and then going back and buying new stuff. My best advice is to make a SOLID decision on how many plants you want to grow what style you will grow as far as scrogging, hydroponic or the media you want to use Etc. Some people like to build their own cobs. Unfortunately for me I do not have time for that and I buy my lights. Let me know if you're interested I can send you a couple links to lights that I like.
Here is the light you want. This is a kit. Timber prob already sells one prebuilt for another 150..
