Really wanna get this going and I'm fed up with waiting around so I figured I'd just ask some professionals. Consider me being broke as well.
Okay, so I recently ran into some 1000w MH and HPS combo lights and ballast. It's got the air cooled hood reflector as well. Basically, I'm waiting on a bit of money before I buy a 200+ cfm fan and carbon filter, and I'm wondering if for the meantime using a 100 cfm exhausting fan (just to cool the lights down a bit) and an open concept room in the basement(with one of those rotating fans as well) would be sufficient until I can afford to put up a tent in an upstairs room with the fan and filter. Any thoughts?
If not are there any other ideas that I could take advantage of until I can afford the proper fan and tent?
------------------------------------
Also, I'll be using the MH first but that leads me to a whole new question. The HPS bulb started to get a little black at the bottom from being plugged in for a little while to test it out when I bought it. Is it safe to use once my flowering process begins?
