Hello all,
I was wondering if I could get some opinions/ advice. Up until now I have grown all my plants in terrariums using compact florescent lighting or florex lighting. However I will be moving from my small condo into a nice large house and I want to set-up a grow room.
The house has a small room located in the basement that would be perfect. I am thinking of buying a metal halide light to use as the light source. Does any one have a suggestion as to good brand ?
I was looking at a 400 Wyatt agro sun model in a magazine it said it will bathe a 4'x4' area with intense light. It did not mention lumens but I am thinking I might look for some thing stronger. With MH lighting how high above the plants does one hang the light?
I also plan to cover the walls of the growing area in Mylar and if more humidity is required I have a cool mist humidifier I can use.
Any other tips or suggestions with setting up a grow room would be appreciated.
