Hello everyone, SWIM is looking to grow in a small closet, 19in deep, 42in long, 8' high.
SWIM can't cut holes in walls/ceilings for ventilation. The best SWIM can do is open the door and air it whenever SWIM is alone in his room. (there will be an oscillating fan however)
Which would be the best lighting for this veg chamber? (SWIM will construct a flowering chamber later) SWIM is considering the following: 4 bulb 2ft T5 system (8k lumens), 250w MH (25k lumens), or 400w MH (55K lumens). (all light outputs are approximate)
Which one should SWIM go with? Would a Metal Halide create heat problems if I can't air it out for a day or two?
Thank you all ahead of time.
