New Grower An upcoming SnowRyder grow, need some advice.

[Mule_X]

Hey guys, first time grower here, had a small adventure growing for two weeks in a tent but now I have to go under-radar. here is my current situation.

Items list:
400w hps&Ballast
250w hps&Ballast
A carbon filter for small spaces.
A cooltube system for the lamp I choose to use for the grow.
5 meters of Mylar.
3x Snowryder Seeds.
3x Northern Light Automatic seeds.
10x Master kush seeds.
2x fans for intake where I will choose one of them with the proper sizing to match.
2x good working hands to build a decent space.
all working tools that you can think of and mylar duct tape to do any fixtures.
Germination and seedling equipment.
3l Air-Pots.

Now I need to minimize space as much as possibole height is a real prob. im going to grow in SOIL light mix and fet with BioBizz products, the relevant questions asked are:

1.How tall should I expect the snowryders to grow and what height is the minimumm for growing an auto strain like the SnowRyder with a 250hps\450hps relatively, consider I am using 2L or 3L Air-Pots. I took measurements of equipment in order to bring some numbers so you guys can help me fit dimensions and start working on my secret grow-op.

As for my height basic requirments:
The container is 16cm high.
there is a Cooltube that needs height, and the filter which is prefferably going to be placed straight above the cooltube..

2. Is the 2L or 3L Air-Pots are going to affect maximumm height, if so, by how much?

On last note but not less importantly, This grow is for personal consumption and I look to make the plant as short as possibole,, How tall should I build the closet, thats the main question.. taking in consideration all the equipment + height from those lamps + plants...

(Sorry if I digged, wake'd N Baked!)

Thanks for any relevant and usefull information, it's great to be in this community, cheers.

P.S: I was thinking currently that the minimumm is 80x80x135cm W:H
is that enough for them snowryders? in that case will i need to use the 250w because of the height from the canopy?
cheers.

a rough guess
i would shoot for the min of 8-12l pots pots + 2-3ft plant + light distance and light might scrape it 4.5ft and lower with training

I'm not looking for huge yield, I'm looking for a small yielding one crop 3 plants on a stealth grow cabinet. how tall does it have to be minimumm with the equipment listed? either 250w or 400w.. smallest as i can.

how tall and wide will a snowryder in 3Liter air-pots will grow if grown properly.?

 

[agito]

2ft ish depending on pheno type
if your using a cool tube it will not matter about the light distance as it will be be the same give an 1-2" as heat output will be very little due to the tube

the tallest snowryder i've grown was about 2 1/2 feet tall.it was in a 5 gallon pot though.

so if grown properly a snowryder under a 400w hps in 3L air pots grown properly, what height to expect?


and to Agito, you say 1-2 INCHES? from the canopy using my 400w hps with the cooltube?

 

[agito]

I would say 6-7" for the 400 and 5-6" for the 250w which is smallest possible distance, you might want a touch more if doing wide plants

thanks for the fast response agito.

UPDATE: starting build today, have more space.. got 160cm of headroom and 90cm width 65cm deep... more than enough for the plants and for me to keep theyr'e weather nice and cosy.
