Gonna get myself 4' t5 when i crop n set up my perpetual at long last. Still got my 3x3 n old filter n fan which will do for veg just need another fan for inside the tent to cool the tubes n I'm laughing. Gotta set her up if I wanna keep my clones for sure. Might be getting some cherry pie x gorilla glue 4 beans in the not 2 distant future so imma pop em the second I get em so I'll probably end up getting the t5 b4 then. Think the bulbs are 54w each so should be enough for the veg just not sure how the heat will be off em

Pissed off. Struggling to get temps down in my tent. Been fucking about with my fans for 2 hours, ended up breaking the one that goes inside so it won't oscillate anymore. Heating hasn't been on all day and window is wide open yet it's hotter than normal. Even removed the carbon filter and put ducting up to the the light inside the tent so it's pulling air from where it's hottest.

Wish I'd got a bigger extractor fan, was a choice of a 4" and 5" and light wise 400w or 600w for the size tent I got and I assumed the 4" would go with the 400w light. Was only an extra £10 for the bigger fan. Don't want to spend more money until I'm confident I can produce something half decent, but then I think if I don't spend more then is this always gunna be a problem.

Can't wait to finish this grow, shit has gone down hill the last few weeks.

Cheap as chips it's a 6" n I've her on a fan speed controller

with fans u should always get stronger than u need.if in doubt get the biggest u can get lol

 

[theslipperbandit]

Makes u feel any better id been using my calmag at a super low dosage n started getting cal def...fed em yesterday with a strong dose of .7ml in 2ltr as appose to my previous .25 per 2ltr lol gonna up it to a ml next feeding.

 

[TopDogTHC]

Will price it up tomorrow. Fed up of it all tonight. Least you can rectify that lol my temps are always shit. They've been at 30 most the grow, got it down to 28 yesterday. Now it's at 32. It'd make me feel better if i potted the window, see how cold it gets then the bastard.

 

[theslipperbandit]

My temps were 20c till i closed one of my tow ports that was ipened now im at 23 lol ive been battling the cold myself haha.check out fans4less on ebay to find that badboy.think its called a swifty or something

 

[TopDogTHC]

Thanks. Opened in new tab to look tomo.

Gunna completely empty the room b4 next grow and get temps nailed on before I start.

 

[theslipperbandit]

Have as little bends in ur ducting as possible n keep it neat n thatll optimise airflow I'd also check if all connections are air tight.

Those blue fans are normally about £45 delivered new or 20-30 2nd hand on ebay, cracking bit of kit for the money, had to get rid of mine due to space issues,

Also if you are not already using one look into a cooltube/hood, using one dropped the lights on temp in my cupboard from 91 down to 80

Spay em so man

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

Think I'll try and get a city break in when I get my first crop out the normal size tent. fuckin bleak in the north between september and may ffs.

gonna be april by then though, reckon Rome or Barcelona is about 17c.

 

[DST]

Cool man. You can start the hunt for our farm near Barca lad. Thinking of shifting up from the South.

 

[Pompeygrow]

I drove to my local 3ch 20min drive to find out it ain't even there any more ffs so had to get pro-cal from green planet witch was 40min drive bk the other way

Will do, just money tho isn't it. Be a waste to only use the fan and light that I got once and have to spend more. Was thinking a bigger tent might be better instead but then I'll want a bigger light lol. Think I'll go for a fan prob first as I can use the old one to pull in air from outside can't I?

 

[theslipperbandit]

Yeah that fan should be fine since its a lower cfm so neg pressure is dandy. welcome to growing man you'll always want a bigger better setup but think of it as an investment dude n u can use ur old setup for veg.

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

I reckon an industrial unit in Barca mate small grow in the apartment.
