New Grower Expert GROWER HELP ME!

.... To me, GodAmJ, you couldn't sound more like a dick with a mouth. My methods of learning and executing my grow endeavors is my prerogative. I know that there are threads to read, and I have read, on and off this site, I simply prefer to deal with people who have the experience versus some 2or 3 year old thread, although they help. The purpose of this thing is to do as I am, with that begin said, if you can't answer my questions or shed some light then don't address your baboonery ass comments to me....... Yes I am offended.

any who people, I GOT MY MUTHA F'IN TENT TODAY!!!!!!! :bone:
Along with my fox farm oceans soil (a big ass bag!!) and nutes
along with pots.... Next is the HPS hood bs.....

AND YES I WILL BE PURCHASING A CARBON FILTER


And this is why we can't have nice things..
 
LED may be easier to setup, handle, cheaper, etc, but it's debatable whether it matches the resin production and density of the flowers under HPS. Both have their pros and cons, but led is more noob friendly. But since u want to run a 250 watt this is what I recommend you do step by step:

First hang a carbon filter from the ceiling inside your tent. 4"x12" is the right size for that tent.

Then with 4" vent ducting connect the filter to a reflector/ballast combo. Your going to need a bulb (which u have), connected inside the reflector.

The reflector connects to an inline fan, 190cfm:

The inline fan pulls air through the carbon filter, through the reflector so it cools the bulb, then blows the hot air outside the tent. From there some more vent ducting can lead the air outside or into the wall.

This what's required of you to set up an odor scrubbing vent system and air cooled hid system.

Option #2 LED

Buy this (never used it but some one here do) as its more affordable. That led light is slightly weaker than your hps but it's easier to set up and is cooler. It says 400w but only uses about half that.

You're still going to need the inline fan and carbon air filter. But you save on the ballast,reflector, and never have to buy a bulb again.

Personally I run only 180w LED and yield 3-4oz every 3 months from three plants. Here's a couple pics to show you the basic LED setup with vent sys I run. Same size tent as you too.

You are the GrowGod for this, thank you so much,
