I would imagine, that the 250 watt light is possible, assuming you have adequate cooling for the light.

You may need to tinker with that, but I am sure that you'll get it working right. You may need about 200cfm for that to cool properly in that small space. More is always better though.
Peace

Wow man this is awesome. Thanks so much I have been looking for something like this!
I have a fairly n00b question here: What about odor control?

Odor is going to depend on your strain, some smell more than others.
In any event, id smell is a concern, you might want to try something like this:
Build your own Odor Neutralizing Machine

Hey Guy,

It is amazing what can be done with the rubbermaid box, but in answer to your question.

I have seen good results with a 250w HPS, in a similar set up, but it uses a vertical cool tube attached to the top and the air intake comes in from the bottom, of the bottom container, using 4" flexible black plastic plumbing hose. The containers were large round planters/plastic pots. It also used circular SCROG. It is called "Barrel of Green". There was a site on it, but the guy got ratted out by a nasty neighbor and shut it down, after getting busted.

I like the Barrel of Green idea, but would have it in a regular closet and have individual/ modular SCROG pots that rotate on a Lazy Susan (revolving), for easy access and service from the side, instead of popping the top.

Here are some of the pictures that I saved.

I have some more pics, but I think you can get the Idea.

Another fine example of 'necessity being the mother of invention'.

So can you do this green machine project starting with seeds? I am new to growing & would like to do this rather than a grow room.

You could pop these babies into every spare corner and grow plenty of weed to smoke! I'll remember this for people that say they have no room to grow. Bongs up to smokedoja!

and simple to set up and maintain!

I just got done making mine, and I documented it so I could share it with the good people at greenpassion.

Here are some pictures of the finished product followed by detailed instructions on how to build your own

How many weeks did this take from Vegetation to Flowering to grow that big in that grow box?
