Here are some pic's of my grow space in progress,
The inside of the cupboard is 1m square by 3m's tall and painted out in matt white, The exhaust fan is a 6 inch in line type fan with a sock carbon filter venting out into the bedroom [i will put a flexi pipe onto it and vent into the loft and box it in, the reason i could not go straight into the loft is that there is a water storage tank directly above the cupboard.] The lamp is a 600w HPS. Anyway this is as far as i have got with it at the moment, i will put all cables etc into trunking and have all electrics outside the grow space [better safe than sorry]. I will also fit a dimer switch between the fan and the timer so i can regulate the flow of air. I reckon i should be OK with a passive intake since there is big spaces between the floorboards if not i will fit a 100mm kitchen type fan in the floor as an intake. This will be my first grow and i am excited and can't wait to get going, any comments or advice on the grow space would be very welcome,  as i don't want to fuck anything up just cause i can't wait to get started. THANKS

Yes, i have had the fan on there was some noise with the vibration so i cut the hole bigger and packed it out with foam draught insulation that did the trick. -------------------- |

Nice space you got there! I'd kill for 3m height....can't see why you need to scrog .
Any idea what strain/s yet? Thats the hardest part Try to get something not too smelly...don't fancy your chances with that odorsok. Have fun!!!

probably a dumb question
 ... but what's "scrogging"?

I grew in a cupboard like that for 10 years - they cry out to be used for that purpose.
It would be more discreet to vent into the loft though -I suppose depends on your circumstances .... -------------------- 2 x 250 watt HPS plus compost and tap water.
