I was thinking about this too.with the venting has anyone thought of running a 20' pipe underground and running the exaust thru it to cool off before it makes it outside to keep the heat sig down?

Doubtful a 600w light in a tent within a shed will set the alarm bells ringing for a chopper.

If you are worried go and buy either a tumble dryer or central heating boiler cowl/hood and run the vent through that, in the event of a helicopter spotting the heat source which will probably never happen to begin with a boiler vent or tumble dryer vent will not look that suspicious.

4u2smoke what do u think about the IR blocking materials like polyshield & thermalshield.

I'm really new to growing, but I have a High Output Florescent grow light. The people at my hydro store recommended it. It's probably not as good as a high end HPS or MH light, but it's really energy efficient, very little heat (plants can touch the light bulbs), and my pants are doing really well (minus a few unrelated minor problems). I'm sure there will be some difference of opinion, but I am really happy with my light. It has four bulbs, two in a red spectrum, two in a blue.You can check out my entire set up here.
