Hi there,

ive been a long time member of the forums, but have been keepin my mouth shut and just reading as there are so many answers in these forums.

I had a question on supplies, this is for anyone but specifically the member known as "Higher". Ive been reading all this guys posts and he is now my new hero, it used to be Superman but it is now him.

Anyway, I am wanting to build a closet setup like he has done out of plywood than was going to use an inline fan for exhaust and a carbon filter from ebay.

I only want to grow one plant, and than maybe a clone of the original. For one plant do you think a 100W light would be adequte? I read in your previous posts that you reccommend 250W, like you have in yours but youo have like a few plants. and also how powerful would you reccomend the inline fan to be (CFM) for the exhaust of only one fan for a box the size of maybe 5'x3'x2'?

Last question for now, how much does active carbon cost roughly and how well does it work? I preferably want 0 smell, i also have an ionic breeze in my room that i could place next to the grow box.

nevermind about the lighting question, i was able to figure it out from your sticky that you posted, i just had to do some math. which would be 5sqft x 30W= 150watts total i need.

but still about the carbon filter i need to know thanks.

The only problem with growing one plant is that it might turn out male, so you would need to keep sprouting them until you got a female.
