ok,...first the ventilation...i cut a 5" hole in the wall and then i took a peanut can and cut the bottom out. i then glued the can to the a-c duct in the wall which i also cut a hole in
now to the lights.. the lights i'm using consists of 6 48" 40watt t12's and 6 ott-lights($10 grow bulb at homedepot)alternating bulbs every other 1 and off-set 6" for slightly more coverage. also all stuff from homedepot
yes, but it did'nt cost much($200 absolute max) and it works very very well the white stuff on the soil is just a thin layer of perlite i actually did yesterday to reflect light back to the branches under the canopy
