need a closet pro

[biteme]

after months of careful thought and study followed by an exhaustive search, i purposely bought the worst hunk of junk grow closet on the market due to ceiling limitations in the area i intend to use. the problem is compounded by the fact that i am a newby to indoor growing so speak up as you see the need, please.

this modern marvel i now have under construction is called a turbo room. in looking at other models on the market, the one real advantage to the turbo room is that the framework appears to be a high quality square aluminum moly, good heavy duty stuff though unfortunately all junctions are made of plastic. but from this one plus, it is all downhill.

the exterior covering is this shiny, insulated type stuff that comes in a 6'x25' roll from which you have to cut pieces to fit the framework. cut pieces are later held together using velcro and tape. no floor to this unit and the top is constructed of precut osb board with a single exhaust opening. two of the boards in the kit were delivered to me broken.

kids, that's the highlights as it goes downhill from here and thus my questions. the top opening is designed to exhaust interior heat and odor into a filter but for air intake the vendor suggested i roll up a corner of the flap door. another hooker is that i intend to install 2 1000w hps air cooled lamps and will probably need to cut both intake and exhaust unless i get some ideas. in fact, may be running just one light with the door open until i get it fixed.

ballasts are switchable so had area rewired with 2 30 amp 240v circuits for the lights. this advice came via a fellow who seemed to know what he was talking about with electricity, but what do i know? it's done now but area also has ample 110v.


have all of the pieces now and rearing to go but also willing to listen just cause i am old enough to know that i don't know it all, or even very little such as now.

thanks for any thoughts or ideas-
