    I have just had a look up of prakasa... look awesome... but £200 for a 200w is sadly more than i can justify! I had looked into t5's but everywhere i looked was low wattage and mainly for g.vegging and not flowering so put me off... any recomnendations?

    I wouldnt run hps in that mini chest of draws mate its gonna be a right ball ache imho.... your better off throwin an led light or something on a credit card lol..... have you thought about ventilation?? How are you going to get fresh air into your cab?? If you go for passive then your gonna have to deal with light leaks an shit, active is by far the easiest option but no inline fans are going to be quiet mate 😞 .....

    Sunmaster do a 150w Dual Spectrum bulb (I know as I have one )

    Out of the three pics, the middle one is probably the quietest fan & the last one the noisiest...

    Ok so. After geeking up on here and working out the size of my space and how big of a fan i will need i have found a 120lph fan that blows at 26db which is a lot quieter than any i have found and ample big enough! And its about 9.99 delivered. So its a no brainer.. lol still after budget filter advice?? As dont wanna buy a cheapie if no good....

    I also geeked up on soil. I got john innes verve sowing and cutting compost. Ill mix some perlite in.

    Found a local spot that sells old timer grow and bloom. So got them and 3x 6.5l potts.

    Still left with 3x decisions...

    2 or 3 plants (41×31×17")

    Carbon filter?

    What seeds?

    Any help appreciated!
